Take Art Classes From the Comfort of Home

All You Need is a Phone, Tablet, or Laptop and Your Art Supplies

Watch lessons straight from the comfort of your home! You don’t need anything fancier than your kitchen table, art supplies, a laptop, tablet or phone to watch and follow along! Even if you’re not painting or drawing with me, you are going to see how I do what I do and apply those tips to your own work!

Work At Your Own Pace

If you’ve ever taken classes in person you know it can be hard sometimes to keep up with the teacher or the other students. Art isn’t fun when we feel rushed! With my online lessons, you can pause the video at any point and get caught up or even rewind and rewatch as needed! 

Get Instant Access to over 300 Videos

When you join, you don’t only get access to new videos, but to all of my over 300 past lessons immediately! You will have access to all of these lessons as long as you’re a current member. 

Choose From Multiple Mediums

I have lessons available in Colored Pencil, Acrylic Painting, Oil Painting, Graphite, Charcoal, Watercolor and Watercolor Pencil, Inktense, and Pan Pastels combined with Colored Pencil. 

I'm a beginner, is this for me too?

Absolutely! I have some lessons specifically for beginners, but I don’t recommend you stick to beginner lessons after that. If you want your art to progress more quickly you should jump into things that seem too hard. Yours may not look the same as more advanced students, but in time they will if you keep pushing yourself.  That is where you will really see improvement in your skill level. Those who stick with lessons for beginners usually stay beginners.

About Your New Art Teacher

Hi! I’m Lisa. Back in the days before the internet I was walking around Laguna Beach, CA, and came across a woman selling paintings of marine work for thousands of dollars. In my infinite understanding of the world (I was 19…I obviously knew everything), I decided my work was better and that meant I could make a TON of money as an artist. Turns out 19-year-old wisdom is questionable.

This started my journey as a professional artist. One of the things I found so frustrating was that there was no real information out there at the time besides some not so amazing painting instruction books. The only way to watch a video of someone painting was to buy a VHS tape. I could NOT afford $50 painting videos.  This is where I make a snarky comment about how kids these days have no idea how lucky they are with all of the art content available for free on YouTube.

I even joined an art guild to try and learn how to market my work. Back then most established artists were not very helpful in helping younger artists. They acted like both technique and sales were secrets one must not share.  I decided I  was not only going to figure it out myself, but I would also share what I learned with other artists struggling with the same things. Be it technique or business and marketing, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned in over 20 years of teaching art with you!
