        On January 1 placed an order for the Johannes Vloothuis’ Night Scenes webinars to be shown on January 6, 13, and 20.

        By the time January 6 had arrived I’d received nothing to tell me how to access the webinars, and the webinar is not showing as a downloadable product on the website. I’ve still received nothing.

        I’ve been through a long and fruitless exchange of emails with F+W that has got me absolutely nowhere. I want a simple link. Why can’t they give me one?

        Have other members had this kind of experience with F+W?:confused:

            Hi Art,
            Same thing here. I talked to a rep called Dana and they have not figured out my account. I paid last summer for a annual subscription and I cannot find any of the videos. My experience with customer service has been horrible. They told me my subscription was cancelled and I told them when I last paid. Of course they were to get back to me and I have heard nothing.

            I am not sure what they all made for changes but the new website and customer service is horrid! They must be loosing people left and right with this type of service.

                Johannes Vloothuis has an active FB group , where they post help on this issue, or message him if you need more personal help & the links.

                https://www.facebook.com/groups/Johannes.Vloothuis.Landscape.Alumni/

                From what I read you need to make a new account with Artist Network – but use the same email that you used before the merge.

                Then a Twitch account is needed as they do the new webinars on twitch now..

                    How could they have got in such a mess, Sharon.

                    Wikipedia tells me that F+W has been going since 1913!

                    I can download all of the videos and books I’ve bought before with no trouble. Emailing doesn’t work. I’ve not tried phoning but, from what you say, this would have been a waste of my time, anyway.

                    I’ve lost $19.99, but it looks like your down nearly $200. Bad luck.

                    The front screen of Wetcanvas describes WC as a division of F+W. Surely up at F+W someone is aware of these issues and the need to carry out a quick fix?

                    Let’s hope.

                        JV’s Night Scenes videos do not appear in the Watch & Learn list – ???

                        Hi Art,
                        I am not sure why it wouldn’t show up on your Watch & Learn Dashboard.
                        Please feel free to contact me directly at [email][email protected][/email] with your email so that I can put a customer service manager in touch with you to go over the specifics of your account.
                        We’ll get this figured out.
                        Thanks so much.
                        All best,
                        Jennifer

                            hello, I can’t access to my acount anymore, for about 8 months now I sent many emails to the custumer service, they just answer with a link to confirm my email or reset password on the website and I keep telling them it doesn’t work, I’m fed up with sending all these emails. someone tells me to change my email on the website, but now I have another account with no orders nor courses. it’s a complete mess. I spent a lot of money here, over 1000 euros and have neither my pastel journals, nor artistnetwork tv, nor my orders and downloads.
                            I’m now going to omplain to the authorities but this is not easy since I live in France.
                            can anyone help please

                                hello, I received a usual unswer again, for a seven hundred time, giving me steps on how to connect. of course, again, it doesn’t work. so as in my other hundred emails to them, I sent them photos to show them what happens when I try to connect.

                                I want a refund, at least for some of the things I bought there : all the Vlouthuis videos, my pastel journal subscription and 1 year TV subsrcription. I won’t ask for the rest.

                                I’m really fed up with all this.
                                I reported to the authorities, but in France, it will take time to arrive to them.

                                    They simply do not care. They keep making money from us, so why should they? Just look at this site. It is basically abandoned by them, but I bet they have not given up the money it generates. I will never buy ANYTHING that F+W media sells.

                                        One thing comes up again and again with F+W Media–they do not value their content generators. THAT IS US.
