Your link took me to an ad for art supplies.
You say the link took you to an ad for art supplies. It takes me to a page with a short video that starts out, “Hi, I’m Kathryn Lloyd and I’m a painter. I know what it’s like to want to take your painting to the next level.” etc.
She then mentions something about, “we’ve got gamblin paints and _____ brushes.” Is that what you mean about an ad for art supplies? I don’t think those interviews are about selling their stuff. They are supposed to be the best of the best of art supplies and all artists are interested in using the finest products they can get.
The only thing asked of you is to put in your email address so you can receive the links to the videos. Nothing in the course costs anything. If you don’t want to watch the videos with the makers of the paint and the brushes, you can skip those.
My painter friend makes nothing from this series and neither do the interviewees, in fact this whole project is costing her quite a bit to put on, both in time and treasure. I don’t even understand why she’s doing it but it’s something she set out to do. She’s passionate about painting. I think she’s doing a great job. I’m really impressed with her interviewing skills.
The videos are free to anyone who signs up; these Masters in the art world have given their time to be interviewed for free. A few of them are elderly and have rarely been interviewed.
If you’re interested in art or are an artist of any kind, they’re very inspiring.
