Already An Artist ~ Or Wish You Were?

this class is for you



Are you someone wishing you could be more artistic, but afraid that you can't?  The beauty of this course is that each technique is EASY and everything is explained step by step.  Because each lesson is fun all by itself  - you don't even have to re-create the painting I show in this class to have a relaxing and enjoyable time.... But you absolutely COULD recreate this painting if you wanted to by the end of it all!  

Maybe you are an artist feeling un-inspired or stuck? This class is a great way to accomplish some new techniques you can apply in your future works and take them to the next level. 

No matter what your skill level - BEWARE you may become addicted to the gel printing sessions where I show you how to create beautiful hand-made collage papers. They are so relaxing and unobtrusive and a great way to spend an hour unwinding after a long day. 



  • Build Your Skills

Start with a Simple Fluid Art Background

Easy & Fun

Acrylics mixed with a fluid art medium creates a flowing background with lots of expression. This addicting technique might become your favorite way to paint - but feel free to use a brush or find a painting you already have to use as your background. The freedom to play and use your own intuition is deeply encouraged.

"Heather Mader was one of the first people I started following on YouTube. Her art and tutorials are amazing. She takes the time to fully explain her techniques and materials used. It shows that she absolutely loves what she’s doing 😃 I’ve learnt so much from Heather in the past 2 1/2 years, and love to try and replicate some of her fluid art. She is an awesome teacher and makes you feel at ease asking questions, which she takes time to answer. She gives as much compliments as she gives advice when asked. "
