Love from past students……
Danielle Aagenes
Your classes have given me so much joy, inspiration, and insight into the world of art. Your classes have taught me more about art in the past 4 years than I ever learned in college. You gave me the inspiration and the final push I needed to start creating again.
Jeanne Maxon
Not only has every class been fun and challenging, but I have also seen marked change and growth in myself as an artist after each one. Laura is hands down the best online teacher I’ve found. Her style is friendly and relaxed, helping me surprise myself with the art I am able to produce.
Xueling Lee
Laura presents incredibly useful tips in a structured way, while still providing space and encouragement for students to pursue their own creative instincts. I used to think abstracts were beyond me, and thanks to Laura, I now only paint abstracts!
Curriculum
A Quick Word About Supplies
This class focuses on acrylic painting with mixed media elements. To get started, you will need some acrylic paints, watercolour paper, a few marking supplies (e.g., pastels, pencils, or pens), and some brushes. You can find full details of my preferred supplies in the supply list, but please don’t feel pressured to have everything I use. You can begin with student-grade supplies and invest in higher-quality items as you grow to enjoy the process.
Many of my students prefer to watch the class first before deciding on their supply choices.
I've had the joy and privilege of teaching over 40,000 students across the globe through my online classes.
Meet Laura, your teacher
Hello, I'm Laura
I'm a mixed media artist from Adelaide, South Australia. Ten years ago, I picked up a paintbrush. I had two young children, and like many mothers, I felt a little lost among all the nappies.
As soon as I reconnected with my creativity, I felt a spark. I quickly fell in love with all things art. The yummy supplies, the supportive community, and the sense of purpose and satisfaction that came from doing something I truly loved.
I followed my passion and built a beautiful, messy life around it. Things rarely went to plan, but I amazed myself with the things that I could do. From selling my work at markets and cafes to running a retreat in Bali, right through to hosting a top-rated art podcast.
Tapping into my creativity gave me clarity and confidence, and it can do this for you too.
