Here’s a roundup of the teachers I’ve learned from and particularly enjoyed. Click on the teacher’s name for a more in-depth roundup of my history and work with each teacher’s materials, and links to their various classes and products that I’ve tried.
Kolbie Blume
For you if: you’re a recovering perfectionist and you need mindset pep talks to remind you that messy art is worth it! Beginner-friendly.
Shelby Thayne
For you if: you love bright colors and layered mountains. Beginner-friendly.
Claire Giordano
For you if: you love hiking… or traveling with your paintbrush.
Some material is beginner-friendly, but I’d generally rate Claire’s material as advanced beginner to intermediate.
Maria Coryell-Martin
For you if: you want tips for painting quickly outdoors (and you don’t mind a little shilling for Art Toolkit.)
Maria Smirnova
For you if: you love quick, one-layer skies. Bonus points if you read French.
