Watch the Online Class Recording

Can’t attend the live online class? Or are you the kind of person who learns best through repetition? Watch the class recording! The recording allows you to enjoy the class at your pace — pause, rewind, and paint along with Richard as many times as you like, day or night, until the end of the viewing period.

Richard personally edits and makes the following refinements to the recorded lesson:

  • Enhances video, color, and audio quality

  • Adds graphics, music, and additional voice-over

  • Edits out all unnecessary footage and includes only those questions from the Q&A session that Richard deems valuable for most artists

  • Adds chapter markers to video controls, allowing you to instantly fast forward to any part of the lesson desired

The recording is 2 hours 18 minutes in length. For those who pause the video periodically to sketch along, assume between 3 and 4 hours to complete the online class.
