Does anyone have experience with this site?
Yesterday I joined for the 3-month free trial via North Light Books’s VIP program. I followed North Light’s direction on how to use the promo code while checking out.
It doesn’t work. There are no instructions on the Artistnetwork site as to how to register for the free trial. I then registered for the 6-month subscription using the promo code and it still does not work. Help!
I emailed them, I emailed North Light, no response yet.
It’s a very vague website. I just ended up purchasing a 6-month subscip. to one workshop! So, that is a problem that will have to be dealt with.
I can’t find a phone number on that site. I’ll call North Light later but it’s not their problem, really.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don’t believe that you have to PAY for a subscription to this website. I have it saved in my favorites and visit it quite frequently.
This is the site I visit
http://forum.artistsnetwork.com/
Just what type of subscription are you trying to purchase?
I believe the same company who owns Northlight book club, also owns this website AND Wetcanvas. They also own Watercolor and American Artist Magazines I believe.
Someone hopefully will jump in and tell me if I’m wrong.

April 29, 2010 at 9:43 am #1140055Darla, part of that whole network is what is called artistworkshop.tv. You can purchase individual workshops, a 6-month subscription, or, if you purchase a VIP program at North Light Books, it includes a 3-month FREE subscription to artistworkshop.tv.
I emailed and heard back from them a few minutes ago….problem solved with my accessing the workshops.
It seems to be a great deal. And, since I am more computer ILITERATE than I thought……Julie was able to help me twice with negotiating the whole process.

April 29, 2010 at 3:35 pm #1140042Glad to hear everything worked out for you — please let us know how you like the videos, as I’ve been considering a subscription, but am concerned about the clarity of the videos on my computer monitor. I have found that when I try to view videos in the full screen mode, the images are kind of fuzzy, yet I really need the large display so I can see all of the details.
Thanks!

April 29, 2010 at 5:24 pm #1140056Ya, even with my issues of being computer-challenged, I think they could be more explicit with the directions on their website. But, I have to give them credit for their excellant customer service (both NL Books and artistnetwork.tv). They answered my emails by 10 a.m.
I’ve watched part of two videos and I’m happy with the quality. I expand to full screen and it is clear enough for me.
I do wish they had more watercolor videos, though. There are some painters that I would just love to see and I know they have DVDs out.
I would recommend it. For the $49 you get the 3 months of unlimited video watching and either a year of Artist’s Magazine or one book from a limited selection. Good deal.
Onward to watching and learning!
Carolyn :thumbsup:April 29, 2010 at 7:06 pm #1140023So glad “all is well” Carolyn!
Thanks for your excellence in comment & communication.
Your information is much appreciated.
I’ve been “learning as I go” concerning the computer,
in order to enjoy the camaraderie here.

October 26, 2010 at 7:57 pm #1140045I have a 6 month unlimited viewing subscription and am very pleased. I have learned a lot and being able to repeat lets you get details you may have missed, We travel in a motorhome and I get reception via air card with just minimal occasional short delays. I recommend highly, found I can shoot the computer screen for a printed reference,
October 28, 2010 at 5:01 am #1140057I would like to try this too, but unfortunately I don’t have unlimited download option on by broadband, only 2 gig a month, so not much point. Nola.
Cheers, Nola.

http://watercolourwalkabout.blogspot.com/September 4, 2012 at 7:38 pm #1140039Hello Everyone, I am really new to watercolor but trying to learn as much as I can and I’m so happy to be able to connect with Wet Canvas. You all are awesome and really helpful. Trying to learn more I went further a field and went to artistnetwork.tv and paid $56.98 for a beginners course with Jan Fabian Wallake. I have had a few problems with this web site. First one was with my log in. It was okay for awhile then quit. I sent an email to them and it did get straightened out. Now I have not been able to get on the the lessons I have paid for because it is always ….buffering. This has been going on for 3 days. Again I went to their customer service and I’m still waiting for a reply. If any of you are thinking of taking lessons from this site be ready for frustration. LIVE AND LEARN
September 5, 2012 at 1:52 am #1140051I have a 6 mo. watercolor subscription to artist network.tv. There are over 70 videos and I really have enjoyed most of them. But, I too have had the buffering issues. It is so frustrating! I have a high speed Internet connection and don’t have these buffering issues with any other video sites, and I’ve read online of others having the same issues, so I’m pretty sure the problem is with artistnetwork video formatting. Sadly, I won’t be renewing my subscription when it’s up. Too bad because they really do have lots of great videos for a very good price.

You’re very welcome. I feel your pain.
There are two other sites I really enjoy watching and learning from their videos. I hope it’s ok to post the names. The first is fairly new called Art Tutor. It was started by Bob Davies and other artists. It has a small monthly fee or one can subscribe for a longer time period. Joanne Boon Thomas who used to post here is a regular, as is Sian Dudley amd her hubby. Love their videos!
The other site is The Painting and Drawing Channel. It is free and has a dozen or more videos every week. I’m a big Geoff Kersey fan so am very happy to see his videos on there.
Hope this helps other noobies like me.
