Heather Mader Art Classes

Absolutely. This course was created with beginners in mind. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the entire process — from setting up your materials to completing your final painting — in a calm, clear, and supportive way.

The teaching portion of the course is approx 60 minutes, broken into short, easy-to-follow lessons. You can go at your own pace, pause anytime, and revisit the videos as often as you’d like.

A full materials list is provided inside the course, but you’ll need basic acrylic paints, brushes, and a wood panel or canvas. I also walk you through the "suggested" and the "necessary" supplies so you only buy those you need. I make suggestions to those supplies which can be substituted for those on a budget!

No worries — the course is completely self-paced. Once you enroll, you’ll have lifetime access, (as long as the platform is active) so you can begin whenever you’re ready and return to it anytime for a creative boost.

Not at all! This class focuses on expressive brushwork and creative freedom — not realism or perfection. If you can hold a brush and enjoy color, you’ll do beautifully.

It’s a fully pre-recorded course, which means you can watch it whenever works best for you. It’s designed to feel like I’m right there with you in your studio, guiding each step.

Yes! If you'd like to purchase it as a gift, just send me a message and I’ll walk you through how to do that.

Yes! The techniques translate beautifully to canvas. You’ll see me demonstrate subtle adjustments if you choose that surface.
