We offer 6 free video courses, one from each of our medium programs for you to watch, learn, and determine if you like the teaching style/method and the audio and video quality and would like to become an online course member. Our YouTube channel shorts contain free small portions of steps and clips taken from our full video course programs available only on our website when you become a member.
Anytime, as soon as your payment is processed you will have immediate full access to all of the medium programs and workshops on the website.
Due to the amount of online and in-studio students there is not enough time to provide quality instruction for private classes.
In the future artist members will be able to register for live limited space workshops to assist them with their current projects, demonstrations of specific techniques, and question and answer sessions. This would be a great time for students to ask a question about how to do a certain technique, mix colors, establish depth and dimension, or any other sticking points they may encounter on their current art projects.
We have level 1 and level 2 challenge courses. Level 1 courses are easier and level 2 courses require more techniques, details, and are more challenging then level 1 courses. The courses listed in each medium program are in order from easiest first and get more challenging as you move down the list of courses. The course videos are broken down into small steps, they can be utilized in a few different ways. Some students choose to watch the entire video first and then watch each step and try the techniques on their own and move on when that step is completed. The course videos are set up for you to pause and rewatch each step if needed and to move at your own pace. It is all up to you to decide what method will work best for you to learn the drawing/painting process and techniques for each course.
All courses vary in length; level 1 videos typically are 20 to 40 minutes and level 2 are longer. Oil painting course videos have longer run times and will have weekly breaks in between steps to allow for drying time between painting sessions.
Yes, you can. You have full control of switching to any and all of medium courses at any time. Just remember to make sure you have the art supplies for the chosen medium course before starting.
Yes, we have made it very easy for you to purchase the supplies we highly recommend from our Studio H Amazon art supply list, through a button link located on each course page. If you are located in an area that does not receive shipments from Amazon or wish to purchase your art supplies elsewhere, we have included a download art supplies button containing our supply list for the specific course which includes manufacturers and detailed information for each item in the supply kit. You may bring this list to your local art supply store or search online for an art supply store that will ship the supplies to your location.
We have many years of professional art experience and have extensively tested many art supplies from different manufacturers over the years and have chosen the best products that can be used for beginners to advanced students with excellent results. We highly recommend purchasing supplies from the manufacturers on our art supply list to achieve the desired results in your artwork that are demonstrated in these instructional course videos.
Currently, we teach the following:
- Drawing with graphite and pastel pencils and soft chalk pastels

It depends on each student’s comfort, skill level, and pace. Everybody has their own timeline and there is no pressure for completing projects within a certain timeframe.
Absolutely, we start at the very beginning of each project and use a short step by step process demonstrating the use and techniques required for the areas being worked on. The instructor demonstrates the techniques and explains all of the details of the technique through the entire process. We highly recommend starting with the introduction class for the medium program(s) you have chosen and move down from there as the courses are in order from easiest to more challenging.
No, you may start anywhere you like. The courses in each medium program are listed easiest first to more challenging as they move down the list. The importance of selecting a course is that it sparks an interest in you and that you are excited or passionate about the subject and images in the course.
