An exclusive apprenticeship for motivated painters serious about honing their craft.

To take your work to the next level you need the right structure of practice.

Do any of these describe your experience learning to paint?

• Some days I don't even pick up a brush because I don't know what to paint.
• I feel I have no structure and move from painting to painting just hoping things will make sense.
• I start paintings having no idea if it's going to work or not.
• When a painting doesn't work I don't know why.

Unfortunately these problems plague most students. They sure did for me when I first started painting.

This is why I created the Paint Coach Apprenticeship. To save you years of stumbling from painting to painting with no clear answers on how to get better.

Your Coach

My name is Chris Fornataro and I want to be your paint coach.

I have made teaching painting online my number one priority and with this membership I wanted to capture the experience of taking an in person class with me and put it online.

I wanted to give my students a structured way of learning by providing instruction before, durning, and after painting.

Great paintings are closer than you think

It's easy to look at a great painting and think there is some trick or secret about painting that the artist knows that you don't.

This is why I find in-real-time video tutorials so helpful. They show and explain step by step how a painting is built so you can understand the process and not think of a great painting as some sort of magic trick.

Tutorials are not just for copying either. When you have access to over 100 tutorials you can use them as a reference for how to solve problems in your own work.

Example: Having trouble painting a river? Look up a river landscape tutorial and see how I tackled the problems a subject like that presents.

The problem with most painting tutorials

Imagine how hard it would have been to learn how to tie your shoes if every day you had a different person teaching you a different way to do it.

The main thing that separates these tutorials from other subscription painting sites is that all of the tutorials are done by one painter. Nothing is more confusing for a new painter than having a different teacher with different materials and a different process for every tutorial.

Being able to talk and teach while you paint is a skill in of itself. I have seen masterful painters film horrible tutorials because they couldn't explain what they were doing and why. This is a skill I have developed through filming hundreds of instructional painting videos.
