I recently started using the Learn and Master Painting with Gayle Levée course for learning to paint with oil paint. It is great because she takes you through all the steps for learning to paint from basic supplies, to cleaning brushes, preparing a canvas as well as important skills like painting realistically with perspective and different styles like impressionism.
I also discovered that the DVD videos that come with the course are great for people learning English to practice listening. First, the instructor has a calm relaxed voice and since she's teaching painting she is doing what she's talking about so the student can compare the words with the actions. Second, since the course is for learning to paint you get many art and painting vocabulary words to practice with that normally wouldn't come to mind. Third, the course, while not exactly cheap also includes a workbook to go with the many hours of video.
If you have English students who love art or painting or if you are learning English on your own and would like to learn to paint while improving your English skills, visit the Learn and Master Painting painting course site for more information.
