IS BEING AN ARTIST STILL A DREAM FOR YOU?
Deep down you know there are paintings sitting inside of you — perhaps this is you…
Love colour & desire to express yourself with it
Dream of painting loosely with painterly brushstrokes & texture
Have that adventurous spirit that longs to move into the new
Your creativity is callinG but…
DO You SOMETIMES FIND YOURsELF…
Struggling to get vibrant colour & depth?
Doubting yourself because you’ve not picked up a paint brush since school?!
Wanting loose painterly brushstrokes & texture but find yourself bogged down in the details?
Stuck in artist block wondering where to go next?
Daunted not knowing where to begin with oils?
Being critical of your every painting that you find it difficult to get back to your brushes again?
Second guessing yourself trying to paint how you think you ‘should’ paint?
It’s time to (re)imagine what you could paint if you had all the fundamental steps laid out clearly & the courage to play again!

I know, it can be daunting saying ‘YES’ to your creativity — leaping into the unknown. But the moment you do is when you begin seeing the pieces come together in unexpected ways.
(That’s my story too! 👇)
Hi, I’m Rachel Painter, and for a long time I was an artist in hiding. Until I was asked: “Being and artist is still a dream for you…isn’t it?”
It caught me off guard because it made me see my dream lie dormant as I was caught up doing everything but creating for myself. So I returned to my little box of paints, a little and often at first, and began to fall in love with painting in oils.
Colour became my expression. I began to see the world with new eyes as I played and learnt to express myself with the tools I want to share with you! And one brushstroke at a time I’m here where you see me now - following and making the dream a reality.
I know this can be your story too!
Don’t just take it from me though…

OVERCOMING ARTIST BLOCK
This course has given me back my confidence! Before I felt stuck, I had unfinished paintings I didn’t know how to move forward with, and felt I was fussing over details while losing the freedom and expression I used to have. I really enjoyed the freedom exercises, and using new techniques and materials. Rachel gave me really useful feedback on how to improve my paintings, while still encouraging me to maintain my own style. It was also great to be part of a group and to help and encourage each other with each module. Thank you so much!
