Absolutely. Alive Nature is a self-paced course, so you can move through the lessons whenever it suits you and at a rhythm that feels natural.
Because the course is made up of pre-recorded videos, you can pause while you paint, revisit exercises, and return to colour, value or brushwork lessons whenever you need a refresher. You’ll have the freedom to practice each technique as many times as you like before moving on.
Is the course suitable for everyone?
Absolutely! Alive Nature is designed to be accessible even if you’re still early in your oil painting journey. We’ll begin with the foundations of observation, colour, value and brushwork, then build step by step towards expressive botanical and fruit paintings. You don’t need advanced skills, just curiosity and a willingness to practice.
Can I take the course at my own pace?
Yes. The course is self-paced, which means you can go through the lessons whenever it suits you. You can access the course on your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet, allowing you to learn anytime and anywhere.
For how long will I have access to the course?
The course will be yours FOREVER! You can watch the videos as many times as you want and for all the time you want!
Will I have support during the course if I get stuck?
Yes! You are free to join our private community that is dedicated for support of my current students. My support is available throughout the course, so you’re not alone. If you have questions or need clarification, you can also reach out to me there and I will reply to you as soon as possible.
Do I need any prior knowledge or experience?
No prior knowledge or experience in oil painting is required. The course starts from the basics and gradually builds up, so you can confidently follow along regardless of your background.
Are course registrations open?
No, the registrations for my course are currently closed! I am focusing on support of students and providing needed guidance. But feel free to follow me on social media so you can get the information needed when the registrations open again. You can find me at @alonsaguevara on Instagram.
