Enroll In "Birches and Crimson Maples" NOW"Thanks Tim. This was absolutely fantastic and you provided a wealth of information. I appreciate how it was broken into smaller learning segments so that it was easier to digest. I often get so caught up in realism that I stop having fun and being creative. This was so liberating to watch and I can't wait to give this technique a try.” - Stephanie K
"Thanks!! I have dug out my water soluble oils and will see how many are still useable. I miss blending wet on wet -I may try it with both mediums. :-) I am loving your detailed instructions...not every good artist is a good teacher, but you obviously are!!" - Beverly C
"Your delivery of the course is exceptional full of information and direction without any flapping about. I watched throughout and now going to make an attempt feeling confident! Look forward to more paint alongside.
King regards" - Stacy B

Meet Your Instructor
Tim Packer
My name is Tim Packer, and I am a very successful artist who has generated several million dollars in earnings from the sale of my work.
But I didn’t start out with great success. At the age of 21 I gave up on the dream of becoming an artist and settled on plan B… becoming a police officer.
At the age of 40 I quit my job and walked away from my pension to give my dream one more try.
It was a struggle for 5 years and I almost gave up several times.
When my current style evolved the response from the public was immediate and dramatic.
For the past ten years I have consistently generated earnings over $200,000.00 from the sale of my art, and in my best year so far I earned over a quarter million dollars.
My mission in life now has switched from a focus on creating my own art to sharing what I have learned with other artists.
In this course I will show you all of the tips and tricks that I use to create my signature “light through the trees” paintings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter what medium I use or what subject matter I paint?
I use water soluble oils in this demonstration but you can use acrylics, traditional oils, gouache or ANY opaque paint medium. You will just need to adapt to the different drying times and ignore the instructions specific to the water soluble oil mediums.
Who is this Course For?
This course is for anyone with an interest in painting from:
- Hobbyists who just want to try something different.
- Serious artists looking to pick up some advanced concepts and techniques
- Fans of my work who want to try my process.
- Anyone wanting to learn how to use water soluble oils
How Long Do I Get Access?
How does lifetime access to the course sound?
Can't I Learn all of this on YouTube?
Youtube is a fantastic resource with more free tutorials than any individual is capable of watching about creating art.
I have over 100 videos myself on YouTube.
You can find some of the information in this course on my Youtube Channel but you won’t find all of it. Plus you would need to spend hours and hours hunting through over 100 YouTube videos to get just part of information. The only place to get all of the information and in one place is here on my Art Academy.
So what is your time worth?
For some - thats $69 well spent!
If your time isn't worth that yet...
Stick to Youtube until it is!
What Skill Level is this program For?
This program is designed for ALL skill levels.

ABSOLUTELY! We have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If you do not feel you have received way more value than what you have paid for this course, then contact us for a full refund, no questions asked.
