Drawing is the perfect starting point for beginners.

This is all student work. Incredible, isn't it?

Here's how it all works:

Make consistent progress in drawing with dripped video lessons that build on each other.

  • Enjoy self-paced, dripped video lessons that present information in bite-sized chunks so that you can move at the right speed for you.
  • Discover my tried-and-true art curriculum — the same curriculum used with great success by hundreds of other students at Accomplished ArtistÂŽ Studio.
  • Experience a curriculum that's designed to provide real direction and progress instead of trying to learn from disconnected YouTube videos.

Did you know you can simplify the process of drawing? I'll show you how.

My lessons merge my 25+ years of teaching experience with proven results.

Join me and the rest of the Happy Artist family on a live, group coaching video call twice a month.

  • Experience group lessons where you draw with me, hear tips and tricks and engage in art critiques of well-known artists to train your eyes to see as an artist sees.
  • Get motivated by pep talks that help you develop a healthy mindset to avoid the trap of self-criticism.
  • Hear from me and other guest artists as we share insight, perspective and experience from our own artistic journeys.
  • Find answers to your questions while chatting with me and the Happy Artist family by staying on for the Q&A at the end of each live call.

Not able to make it? No problem!

My live calls are always recorded so that you can watch or re-watch whenever you're ready.

Discover your potential and feel empowered with other students in the Happy Artist Community.

  • Enjoy a happy, non-competitive vibe that also encourages you to go outside your comfort zone.
  • Stop comparing yourself to others by seeing first-hand how art is a skill that is built over time.
  • Ask questions, give input, learn from others and cheer others on as you all move forward with your creative goals.

Are you afraid to let others see your artwork?  I felt that way too!

That's why the community is the PERFECT place to get over this self-inflicted hurdle.

  • Skill Set 1: Simplify the Process of Drawing
