> How does it work?
|
|
Once you have joined a workshop, you will find it in your My Studio, My Workshops. • Enter the workshop and read through the lesson plan. • Each step of the painting process is described by the mentor using text, images and/or video • Download the photo reference to your computer to use as a guide for your painting or to inspire your own unique setup. • Then, start painting!

> Can I share my finished painting?
|
|
Can I share my finished painting?• Once you have completed your painting, take a picture of it• Upload the image to the Workshop Gallery• Only members who have joined the workshop can view it • You can choose to share your artwork with members outside the workshop by adding it to your Profile Gallery• You can choose to allow other members to add your painting to their Favorites list

|
> Does a workshop have a start or end date?
|
|
• You can join a workshop at any time once it is launched. • A workshop does not have a set end date, indeed a workshop can go on indefinitely - it is entirely at the mentor’s discretion. • If a mentor decides to close a workshop, no new members will be able to join, but all existing workshop members will continue to have access to the workshop contents and gallery from their My Studio space.
|
|
> What is peer review?
|
|
• We encourage you to share your thoughts on other member’s paintings – receiving praise and constructive criticism can be a very rewarding experience after all the hard work you put into your painting. • No matter what stage you are at in your fine art journey, we are all here to learn and improve at our own pace.
|
|
> Does the mentor give feedback?
|
|
• The mentor’s role in a workshop is to use their art knowledge and teaching experience to design an interesting and informative painting project. • A mentor does not have an interactive role in the workshop. • For 1-on-1 feedback, take advantage of our unique Critique service and reserve a session with a mentor on their calendar.
|
|
> Can I review a workshop?
|
|
• You can add a review of a workshop in My Studio > My Workshop by clicking on the ‘review’ link. You can rate it from 1-5 and add a comment.• If the workshop didn’t meet your expectations, we suggest you first contact the mentor directly. You can send an email to the mentor by clicking on the Mentor Directory in the footer and clicking on the email icon beside their profile entry. • If you are unable to resolve the matter satisfactorily with the mentor, then send us an email at support@openstudioonline.com
