ART ACADEMY LIVE

I am thrilled to announce my participation as one of the five Founding Artists of Art Academy Live, an innovative web site that is revolutionizing the field of art instruction. In October of 2006 the web site was launched to smashing reviews and has since been the subject of articles in "The Artist's Magazine" "Watercolor Magic" and the "Pastel Journal". The site takes art instruction into the 21st Century, allowing you to enjoy the workshop experience from the comfort of your own home. Log into our site at www.artacademylive.com and a wealth of information is at your fingertips.

LIVE CLASSES
Register for one of our 90 minute live classes in advance, then log in to the site a few minutes prior to the start of the class. You will see the artists demonstration in real time via live streaming video. Have a question? Simply type it out using your keyboard and the instructor will answer it for you right then and there. There is no more need for expensive travel, accommodation and workshop fees. For a nominal fee of $25 ( US ) per class you can learn the secrets of your favourite artists without ever leaving your home.

SNIPPETS
"Snippets" are concise 15 minute videos dealing with very specific techniques or concepts such as "painting a sunset in watercolour" or "developing a center of interest". Snippets are downloaded onto your computer and can remain on your hard drive for you to watch over and over again. Simply log onto the site and we have hundreds of snippets to choose from at a modest cost of $10 ( US ) per snippet.

I currently have a number of snippets available including:

- 12 part watercolour portrait series

- 4 part introduction to water soluble oils

- multi part colour & composition series

- my signature psychedelic rocks & trees in watercolour as well as many other techniques

to access my snippets or live classes go to www.artacademylive.com place the cursor over the artists button at the top of the page to activate the drop down menu, left click on Tim Packer to bring you to my bio page. Scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see two buttons view snippets and view live classes. These buttons will show you all my scheduled live classes and snippets.

To register for a live class or download a snippet go to the home page and follow the simple instructions.
