Watercolor University

Painting: Watercolor how-to video: Watercolor Basics by Birgit O'Connor

Watercolor University is unlike anything you've seen before - it's a complete program of 96 DVDs from the most talented artists and craftsmen in the field. We ship you 3 DVDs per month - keep them as long as you want, with no late charges! When you're ready for more, mail those DVDs back to us, and we'll send you the next 3 DVDs (you get up to 3 new DVDs each month).

With exciting, informative, well shot videos from names like Birgit O'Connor, Susie Short, Cheng-Khee Chee, Stephen Quiller, Gerald Brommer, and Jan Kunz that you can keep as long as you want, the ability to cancel at any time, and with a low monthly price of just $11.47 for the first month, and $22.95 thereafter , this is a bargain that you can't afford to miss!

Commonly asked questions about Watercolor University

Q: How many DVDs do I get at a time?

A: Up to three per month.

Q: Once I subscribe, can I quit?

A: Yes, you can quit at any time at all. Just send us an email and you're out - no more charges, ever.

Q: How much does it cost?

A: Just $11.47 for the first month, and $22.95 per month after that . That's a huge savings over the $249.00 or so it would cost to buy three new DVDs each month, and a big savings over the normal rental cost.

Q: How much is shipping?

A: It's free!

Q: How much are late fees?

A: There are never any late fees!

Q: Can you clarify how the "three DVDs out-at-a-time, limit three per month" plan works?

A: Let's say you sign up on the 10th of the month. Your month then runs from the 10th of each month till the 10th of the next month. We'll make sure that you always have three new DVDs to watch in your home. We do it by sending out up to three DVDs during each month.

So, you sign up on the 10th. We mail you three DVDs immediately. If you return one of them a week later, we accept the return, but since we've mailed you three new DVDs this month, we wait until the next month. As soon as the 10th of the next month rolls around, we send you one DVD, so now you've again got 3 DVDs in your home. A week after that, you return two more dvds. We immediately replace them, so that you again have three dvds.

Q: Will my university subscription send me DVDs that I already ordered as a SmartFlix customer?

A: No! We track what you've already rented, and we won't send out duplicates.

Q: What order do I get the DVDs in?

A: We can't promise that you'll get the dvds in exactly the order listed below, but we do absolutely promise that we always send items out in an order that makes sense: you'll never get disk 2 in a set before disk 1. More generally, we use customer feedback to structure the universities in an order that makes sense - basic stuff first, then more advanced topics.

Q: There's a DVD (or two, or three) on the list that I don't want to see - can I subscribe to Watercolor University, but somehow not get that DVD?

A: Sure thing! Just subscribe to the university, then send us an email telling us what DVDs you want to skip.

Q: This is a pretty awesome deal, isn't it?

A: Yes, it is!

I have been very pleased with the selections sent to me. The artists are well known for their art and they are skilled in teaching others various techniques. Whatever level of learning one is at,there is always more to learn from the present day masters.

Have been receiving 3 watercolor dvd's each month since May and I'm extremely pleased with the choice of subjects and artists. I love the fact that I can keep the dvd's for as long as needed. SmartFlix service is outstanding and any questions or concerns are addressed immediately. I think the idea of a specialized university is excellent!

I am totally impressed with Watercolor University. There has not been one DVD of all I have received that has been a disappointment. This is just a great way to learn new techniques and ideas from well known artists. Thanks to whoever thought this university up!

I have enjoyed the DVD's from the Watercolor University very much. They're a relatively inexpensive way for me to watch other artists' techniques and painting styles. I really look forward to getting the new DVD's each month. My husband, an amateur oil painter, enjoys watching other artists work too.

Thank you

I continue to receive wonderful watercolor/painting mediums DVDs. Even receiving an occasional DVD of a different medium has been very inspiring. I intend to continue - and keep learning from today's masters!
