$60.00/one Year($5.00 per month)

*The basic membership dose not includes Henry's online classes.
For none-student members this is the only fees you need to pay to get to communicate with other members, browsing the forum, open discussion groups, photo gallery, blogs, quiz and chat.

II. Pay per Class:  $10.00/life time for each Henry Li's class.

Membership Q&A

Q: How much it cost to become a paid member?
A: This site welcome all CBP or sumi artists to join. There are two "Pay-walls"  

  1. General Admission. This first pay-wall is required to enter the entire network including access to all classes(subject to the second pay-wall), personal profiles, forum, blogs, and chat. The cost of general admission is $5-8 depending on which subscription plan you choose.
  2. Pay-per-class fee. The second pay-wall is an one-time membership charge for each class. For $10.00 you will receive life time membership in that class, as long as you maintain the general membership.

So the cost may vary from person to person. You could join for a year for $60, and take all the classes; or just join for a month at $8 and take one class for $10($18 total), then pay for more time and class as you go.

Q: How much is your video class and how do you teach your class?
A: There is a $10/life time tuition. All classes are open ended, available 24/7. In addition to instructional video classes, assignments and handouts, you will receive personalized critiques from Henry. His critiques on other students practices are also proved to be very valuable learning resources.

Q: I don't have a Paypal account and don't want to open a new Paypal account, how do I pay?

A: Paypal is integrated with this network and it is a very secure and convenient way to get instant access to the classes. However, we understand your concern. Please contact Henry Li if you have any problem with signing up or payment.

Q: I am a returning student, what do I need to pay?
A: If your basic membership has expired, you need to pay for the general admission in order to resume access all your old classes which you have paid for before. You need to pay $10 to take each new class.
