Classes start November 2, 2021, and will take place on both CZcams and Facebooks on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sundays, at 1 pm EDT until November 30, 2021. Every class will be at the easiest beginner level with a focus of helping first time artists. Not only will you learn the beginner basics about acrylic, but it is my goal that by the end of the course, you will have the fundamental set of skills you can build on and, at the same time, unlock your creative potential. Classes will be pre recorded live streams to help us schedule and to allow me to be present in chat during all classes to answer your questions.
The course consists of an introduction and 17 classes which will introduce concepts and skills needed for first time acrylic painters of all ages. Extra resources will be provided from the The Art Sherpa website, www.theartsherpa.com.
Although students must provide their own art materials, I designed the series using the minimal basic art supplies for acrylic painting.
If you have really wanted to begin painting but did now know where to start, this course is perfect for you. Perhaps you have been painting for a while but never really got the opportunity to learn the basics. This is still the course for you.

Like many others I am a true beginner. I have watched your first 3 videos and not only enjoyed them but have learned so very much. Thank you for doing these I am looking forward to beginning acrylic painting.
Well said and me too I want to learn to paint so bad but my confidence level is not so good atm but I am gonna give it my best
Hello Cinnamon, I’m so glad you teach this beginners course. I really needed something more formal than the “trial and error” method that I first learned from. This time however, I have to learn to paint with my right hand and not my left due to a an incident. I’m looking forward to completing this course completely and then moving smoothly with you in the live streams easier.
Have a happy, healthy, wonderful day 😊
Wow you are truly one of the very best teachers of anything I have studied in my life! Thank you for all the thoughtfulness you put in every part of your teaching. I haven't painted a picture in 15 years but I am a 1000% better artist without picking up a brush yet. Bless you and John for all you do and for the love and the joy you do it with. Today I went to my outside freezer and it's dead, everything's thawed. I came in got out my old paint brushes and turned on Cinnamon and John cause I know at 69 I am going to learn something new, and your beautiful energy will lift my day... at 2:25 and it's already worked ❤
Oh my stars, so much information. I will have to watch again I’m sure.
Glad it was helpful!
WOW WHAT A CLASS!!!! I've been painting for 21 year now and this is a super class. So much I learned from you. Thank you thank you.
I have to thank you for doing this for us! I am a sketcher but pushed myself to try painting. I have no idea what I was doing or how to do it. I am working my way thru your course and my confidence (and painting) has leveled up so much!
Thank you for sharing all this valuable information!!
What a gorgeous shirt! I’m jealous! Thanks for a great set of classes.
Love that blouse!! Thanks again for this series!!♥️
You're totally welcome 🤎
Thank you for such an informative video.
Love the information especially about cleaning! Thank you!
You're so welcome!💟
I appreciate the details when you teach, and especially that you are not superficial about any issue of painting.
I appreciate and thank you for your intellect and conscientiousness.
You are very welcome🧡
The visuals on this are just fantastic!
Jan S Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this course!!! I started in acrylic pouring and wanted more. I found it and your course. Thank you again.
Absolutely brilliant lesson, Cinnamon and John !
Thank you so much for this important and educational info on brushes !
Wonderful 🤗🎉🎉💕
i LOVE the background!!
I took up painting ten months ago. I watched this video for the first time about a month and a half into my painting journey, happily, before I started to upgrade my paints and brushes from the cheap beginner supplies that I started with. It is Christmas time, and my bride wanted to buy me some brushes for Christmas. It seemed like a good time to revisit this video to help my old brain to remember what to look for. I ordered some brushes from your online store. The brushes that you recommended picking in person I shopped for locally. Thank you again for helping me along my artistic path.
Well Happy Holidays and what a great bride and present, think she is a keeper, Happy Painting 💝
Excellent information and delivery Cinnamon and John!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jammed packed with best brush info!! Kudos to you and John for such a comprehensive brush lesson.
Thanks, it is our pleasure 💖
thanks for all the great information. your making learning fun.
Gosh what a fantastic tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
of course
New favorite fan! Loved it! Off to check your website now…
I appreciate these fun fast-paced videos that are chock full of information that I hadn't yet learned anywhere else. So many things I didn't know! I haven't been as good to my brushes as I should be apparently. Learning about proper disposal of paint water in the other video was also something I wish I'd known. (So far, no plumbing issues. Phew!)
Awesome
I love the fact that you're so detailed in this I can't wait start
Yes!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Excellent, excellent information whether you are new to painting or have painted a long time! Learned so much!! Thank you Cinnamon and John for putting this great informational video together. You are the best!!
Thank you so much 💗
Thank you Cinnamon so much great info on brushes. 3 yrs in lol. This backgrounds are so very cool. John thank you!💜🎨🖌🖌🖌
You are so welcome 🌷
Thank so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge regarding brushes and brush care.
You're so so welcome 😍
You are so knowledgeable, I am very thankful.
So nice of you
bless the day I found your first video. I only wish I would have found your lessons when I first started my painting "career" thanks to covid! This one on brushes would have saved me a lot of time and money when I went to Michaels to buy my paints and brushes. Thank you.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge! I often wondered about all of the different materials that brushes were made of AND I did not know to wash brushes prior to use! YOU ROCK! THANKS!😊🎨❤
And you rock also, thank you 🌸
I've been painting for a few years now, and this beginner course is teaching me a ton! Thank you so much for putting this together!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the loads of information, may have to watch this a few times to retain all that you have so graciously offered.
Glad it was helpful!
You are doing a fabulous job! I am learning so much!
I am so relieved all the information you have given me was information I didn't even know that I needed so thank you for covering all the bases and a few of them that I didn't even know were there
Happy to help!
Great teaching! Love the video!
Thank you so much 🌹
So much learning! Thanks ever so much!🌸🌸🌸

Awesome info. I really didn’t know and was super overwhelmed staring at all the wall of brushes at the are store.
Glad it was helpful!
A super Big thank you to you and your husband for all the time, energy that you have put in sharing all your very useful educated information that you have shared with myself as a beginner acrylic panting artist.

@@TheArtSherpa After 2 years today of working from home in isolation from friends and my coworkers-I can’t tell you how much it means to have found you and your channel. The world needs more of what you’re doing. Thank you so much for offering your knowledge and class for free to us all. ❤️💕

It's been a miute since I have painted after painting over 50 paintings! I'm going back and to see your face nade me soooo happy. Your hair your voice just how thorough you are bout every thing you teach us. WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES!!! i'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU IN MY CREATIVE JOURNEY. Thank you so very much for all of it. One thing I'd like to say is i squeeze my brush right at the ferrel with a papertowel on either side of the brush, a bit more tender on the brush than adding any unnecessarystrokes! Just kidding totally. i just do it. when i need color in my life I go sttaight to you.
Lovely!
K N thank you are appreciated
Loved this class…
I'm so glad, thanks 💙
This is very informative. I have been very confused about the brushes when I go to store trying to my painting supplies bought. Thank you.
You are most welcome 💕
This was very informative. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I am learning sooo much, thanks form australia
Good day. From South Africa. So happy to have found you , you really cover everything!!! Looking forward to the rest of lessons!!!
Thank you so much, look forward to seeing you in lives and groups 💞
This was great. I’ve been painting for only two months and I’m doing shockingly well. This was a great lesson. Thank you.
Wonderful!, and most welcome 💜
I am so happy that I found you☺️. I have been watching your tutorials for about a week now and have to say that I have learned a lot from you. So thank you 💖. BTW I have only been painting for about 2 months almost daily. Keep up the good work 💖. Appreciate you💜☺️
You are most welcome!🌼
Thank you for this information!☺️
You're so welcome!💕
I absolutely love your teaching style… you are a wonderful kind and amazing woman John is a very lucky man
Since I started watching your vids I am starting to believe I truly can learn… but boy oh boy you have your work cut out for you in teaching me lol… hope you are ready for this crazy lady and all her questions
We love questions and you can so learn and do this 🌸
It is not mayhem. You are such a great art teacher. We are blessed to have you. So knowledgeable about everything and you explain so well Thank you !!
Thank you and you're most welcome 💚
Thank you so much for this!
You're welcome 💛
Thank You so very much for taking the time to show us how to get going! I’m happy I found you… as a choreographer, dancer, seamstress and self-taught calligrapher… everything I achieved from my teens to 63… it’s time to get back to my unrealized dream of technique…
I have all kinds of brushes, acrylics, sealers and gel… what I have learned in a short 2 days… I could not sleep… !!! Your style of teaching is wonderful… and because you make it look easy… I know in my heart the amount of practice that it took to achieve such beauty with such ease was a process and journey… 👏🏼 much respect
In calligraphy, it was never break the wrist.. in painting ceilings a different color than the walls, I had a steady hand as in calligraphy…
As a recent retiree, I plan to somehow connect the sewing, painting and flower arrangements to make my home a brighter place… I’ve been collecting interesting things for years… and now… I have time!!!
Again, I thank you and the voice that runs the camera, gets the water and your coffee… THAT in itself is familiar to me and my hubby… I look forward to practicing… and soon… letting you see my works in progress!!! All for now… I need to get moving… but first a nap! 🥳💜✨
Thanks for sharing Love hearing from the community ❤
Thank you for your awesome videos! I discovered this course by accident. As a beginner at everything art related, I need all the help I can get. It doesn't help that I was born without talent. I really have to work hard at this. I'm starting to get a feel for it, and I've done a couple of things that were actually recognizable. You are a good teacher and your videos are easy to follow. I think you made these for me. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress and I expect I will improve a lot. You have a new subscriber!
im so glad i helped!
Your courses are amazing. Thank you! Especially thank you for providing them for free. I did get a little giggle when you spoke about painting with your hog... I had visions of you holding a pig upside down using its nose to paint with! Hahaha!
Wow, more than I even knew about brushes!
thats awesome!
Shopping online today for brushes and had to pop over here and THANK YOU again for demystifying what ALL the different brush types there are!
I usually just sign-out in frustration looking at the selections online. I am definitely enjoying this experience more KNOWING what is what and why!
You are so awesome to break it down for us so we are shopping wisely! Thanks Again!♥
It is still very confusing on the brush charts, you have to look very closely.
Any idea why the brush size is larger for the long handles and smaller dimensions brush size for the short handles?? makes no sense
Example: #26 Bright short handle (24mm) is $17. and the #12 Bright long handle (25mm) is $26. ?
There is no sense to brushes and that is what makes them hard to buy online . The cost and size of brushes is also all over the place in many brush lines. Some makers go for the effort of being sensible but many many do not. For my brushes the graphics are on the website too for easier viewing
This was great
Thanks much 💟
Dear Cinnamon and John, I watched live, this was so awesome, you are so with it, my Friend was here , (new painter) and she got so much out of this and I picked up on things I forgot! Shared, love you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much that is very nice to read angela maxwell 🎨🖼🍷
@@TheArtSherpa I admire you and John so much, for all your hard work❤
thanks for all the great information - especially cleaning! Now I can rescue a couple of 'stiff' brushes.
Happy to help!! you are very welcome! ❤️
Thank you for your very informative video, I am shopping for acrylic brushes tomorrow and now I know what I will be buying 😘 😘, and a side note: your hair looks amazing 🤩
Glad it was helpful! and thank you 💞
Thank you~
You're welcome 😊
I don't consider myself a beginner after 4 yrs, but I like to watch this video as a great reminder. Thanks Cinnamon!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video, thank you. I wish I had watched this before going out to buy a variety of brushes.
Of note, I have some old make-up brushes languishing in a drawer, so I have taken to using some of those too. Fun to experiment with them for sure and I have discovered that they are great for blending and snow/clouds. My practice canvas has so many layers of paint now, but it’s easy to spend an hour or more just practicing.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support and kind comment
Im binge watching the course. Very informative, I love it so far 1:14
Awesome, i am glad and I hope it is helping 💛
I really appreciate the vast amount of information you've provided in these first 4 sessions. I'm trying to take notes, but it's so fast and so much information!!! Wish there was a transcript of the videos! LOL! I'm compiling my shopping list and once I've watched the next session on painting surfaces, I'm going to place a supply order, so I'm ready for the painting sessions. Can't wait!!! I had previously bought some inexpensive brushes, but experienced so many of the things you talked about when explaining the brushes, especially the fan brush not holding its shape. Thank you for the very thorough explanation on cleaning brushes....I see some things I need to improve on. :)
So very glad it was helpful. Cant wait to see some of your paintings 💝
@@TheArtSherpa I was looking online at some of the different brushes and I'm seeing different kinds of the brushes, so I'm not sure which ones you were recommending in the video. For example they list: 1) Angle Comb & Angle Shader, 2) Filbert & Filbert Comb, 3) Flat Comb, Flat Shader, Flat Wash, etc. What's the difference? And which is better for a beginner?
I am new here.
Great information so far.
Thank you very much.
This was so helpful! I wasn't sure whether to post my question on this brush video or your previous video about setting up an art studio - how do you sort and store brushes? I find it difficult to sort through all the different styles and sizes as a beginner. Thank you so much for this beginner series!
There are many options now for brush storage. I like to sort by shapes and keep them in buckets and glasses brush head up. I have on bucket with my always use brushes up close to me and then add brushes or remove as needed
@@TheArtSherpa thank you! That is helpful!
thank you so much amazing !
You're welcome! 💖
Watched this 2x. Thanks so much Cinnamon
Glad you enjoyed it! Kathleen Leonard Thank you I am so glad you had Fun :)
Thank you...
You're welcome! 💜
Thank you! 🥰☀️🌸🧑🎨🖼
I’m having to start over. It’s been about a year since I painted with you. I tried a 3 hoot. The basset hound. Not a good place to start back with. So I’m taking all the beginner classes.
The beginner course is such fun for beginners and as a refresher. ❤️
You helped me save my bright brush with this brush survival tutorial 😭
Yay!!
Hi Cinnamon, thank you so much for these very informative videos. However, I am a little confused regarding the measurements of the bright brush. In Australia 1” is approximately 25mm (as shown in the diagram) not 10mm as stated in the video. Can you please confirm the correct measurements for this brush? I’m so looking forward to painting along with your videos. 😁
I really appreciate you taking the time to do these beginner painting sessions. A couple years ago I painted a beach scene, but didn't finish. I just brought it out to finish and found that a brush hair dried on the canvas. How do I remove the brush hair from my dried painting?
You could try and gingerly try to remove it by sracping it with a finger nail, or a needle. or maybe just see if a bit of paint would cover it 💖
Great video! Loved all the detail! I’m a real newbie & I’m absorbing everything I can. I’m uncertain if what I’m doing for cleaning brushes is okay or not, but we had our gallon of hand sanitizer near and I tried it on a brush I thought was thoroughly clean and I was surprised to see color bubbling through the bristles as I “painted” the sanitizer on a plate. The brush was amazingly clean! So, would this be an acceptable solution, after rinsing, soap, rinsing, etc? I don’t want to shorten the life of my tools! Thanks for teaching!
Dish soap would be a better cleaner. Hand sanitizer has a lot of alcohol which is hard on brushes and should only be used occasionally. 🤍
I really like this music 😻🎼
thank you
Kudos
Thanks 💓
I need new detail brushes so this was perfect for me. For very fine lines would you get a detail brush or something else? Also, can you reshape a brush by putting under something heavy after the hot water? The very fine tips of my detail brush is wonky because of user error. Thanks for all your time and help!😊🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
I have a few tricks for unwarping brush tips that have bent in the Brush Spa video i will make sure to show and demo that fix. Hold on to your brush for that video and you can do it with me
HI CINNIMON. Love your video on brushes and I did learn something new from you on cleaning them. I have a question though which is not related to brushes but varnishing. I see that I have the right varnish brush (Oval Mop brush), but I need to know what you suggest for varnish! Right now I have a Liquitex high gloss varnish that you brush on (following my acrylic brush strokes). I would like to know if you suggest something better! I am not unhappy with it since I love my paintings to be glossy.
Brush on is great when you are doing smoother paintings just be sure and have a bottle of high gloss varnish in spray for thick textured paintings. I will be sure and do some varnish videos
A useful tip; I learned from an artist that a figure 8 works a lot better than a circle when swishing your brushes in water. You can actually go from black paint to white using the same brush. What do you think?
also, I've used Murphy's oil soap to clean stubborn brushes. Just use it straight from the bottle and let it soak for about 20 minutes. It's also good for reshaping. Just clean after with soap and hot water as usual.
Youre great, your vids are great 👍! I've already learned so much from this one video that I've already forgotten some things. Guess I'll watch it again. Thanks soooo much!
your soooo welcome!
I'd been told to never use hot water, to only use cold water to clean my brushes. Good info!
Barbera I understand why as hot water impacts glue and some natural hair but really for our synthetics and finger shaping its the best way
Cinnamon, what do you think of Joe Sonia’s artist acrylic colour paints that sell in Australia? Are they student quality artist quality or professional quality?
I love these classes...for some reason I can never get to the q&a
Is it that you are not finding it or is that its a bad time. If its finding it they are here facebook.com/TheArtSherpa/
Thanks, I’m trying to learn basic techniques to acrylic painting. Looking forward to painting with you. I went to the website and signed up but then it was talking about monthly charges. Could you explain?
What type of soap is best being on budget? Thanks in advance and you really are an awesome teacher ☺️
On a budget a little down and a good washing practice goes a long way
Hi, Cinnamon!! I'm BRAND NEW to not only acrylic painting but the art industry in general. My first ever painting was last week and I chose to paint your jellyfish and loved how it turned out! I am really enjoying painting so that's why I have decided to watch these beginner course videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these! They are a HUGE help! I do have a question, I am one of those people on a tight budget and I have zero knowledge on what I'm doing when it comes to painting...so my first acrylics are the Walmart essentials brand. What is your take on those?
Truth is they can be a little harder to paint with as they may be thin on color. If they give you any trouble as you use them up over time replace with Abstract Acrylic by sennelier as you can, These are paints in pouches and even though they are budget they are really good.I have a very short review video you will like to check them out czcams.com/users/shorts1mHQjlF2-tw
Thank you so much for replying! And I will definitely be looking into those!
