Acrylic Painting Lessons
There's a lovely variety of my video lessons available to buy here and I am continuing to create more. They are aimed at beginners or those with some experience who want to be guided step-by-step to creating your own version of my painting. Most classes give you ways to work if your drawings skills are not so strong and each lesson has a different focus, as well as subject matter. They are about one hour long and should take you between 2-6 hours to complete depending on the scale you work at, your pace and experience.
Once you purchase a lesson you are invited to join my private Facebook group; 'Sheryll's Art Club' to answer any questions which you have about the current or previous video lessons. Video lessons are available as digital versions which I will email to you, and some are now available as DVDs.
You will need to provide your own painting materials and there is a list provided with each lesson. It is helpful if you have a printer to print a copy of the reference photograph.
You can pay by Paypal on this page or contact me for more information.

If you would like to create portraits but don't think you can, this lesson will give you the confidence to go for it. With clear instructions on mixing skin tones and a great cheat if your drawing skills are less developed.
"Hi Sheryll, since we did the portrait class I have been working on a portrait of my daughter... I’m not ready to share it with the world but I wanted to share my progress with you as I’m really chuffed with how it’s going so far and I would never have even attempted this if it weren’t for your class."
