What my students are saying...
I've taken two workshops with Tracy and loved them both. She provides just the right balance of guidance with encouraging you to find your own expression. She is very generous with sharing her artistic knowledge. Tracy is very positive and uplifting which provides a magical space to paint your heart out!
-Silky Hart
Tracy, I love being in your energy and I'm not sure how to express that in words. I only know I have loved being in your classes and have learned and grown in so many ways just being with you. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts. You are a blessing!
-Karen Johnson
You are very generous with your content and I don’t feel like you hold anything back. I love that you show your own vulnerability in things that don’t go quite as you would like because that’s real and honest. It’s not about a show but about real love for teaching and wanting your students to feel successful.
-Anna Karena
Frequently Asked Questions
How much time is required?
The (five) lesson videos are between 20-35 minutes apiece.
Having said that, the goal is to be as creative as possible, and to get you creating as much as possible—so be warned that you’ll be wanting hours in your studio by the end of this course!
(There’s also a good chance that you’ll want to paint along, pause, rewind, and so on while you’re watching the videos.)
Are there captions/subtitles?
Yes! The videos in this online course currently have English captions and Spanish subtitles.
We suggest using Chrome to view these videos if you wish to view captions or translate them into another language. There are live caption and live translation settings automatically built into Chrome.
For a full tutorial on how to do this, here's a video!
I don’t have many art supplies. Can I still do these lessons?
Absolutely! While I always have my favorite supplies, I want you to be open and adaptable and use what you have.
Don’t have acrylic paints? Try doing the same tutorial with colored pencils and see what unique results you can get!
Having said that, here’s a list of everything I use in this art course:

I already bought another one of your online courses. How is this different?
All of my online classes are unique and completely different from one another. This course is equally for artists who struggle with portraits and for artists who are just starting out. My aim is to provide inspiration and possibility thinking for all creatives!
What kind of support and feedback is available?
My team and I are always happy to offer email support via [email protected], and you’re always welcome to ask any questions in my Alumni Facebook group… I pop in pretty often, but (even better) you can get help and perspective from all of my other students as well. They’re some of the warmest and most creative souls you’ll ever meet!
Is everything available immediately?
Yes! Once you purchase the class, your login details will be sent to you within the hour (make sure to check your junk/spam and add [email protected] to your contacts list to keep those emails out).
Do I need a special program to access the materials?
All you need for this course is a device such as a laptop, tablet, or phone with an internet browser (I recommend Chrome).
Can I share this with a friend?
Once you purchase this class, it is meant for your eyes only. Please keep your login details to yourself.
Do feel free, though, to share my website and even this page specifically if you think a friend would enjoy it!
Can I exhibit or sell the work I create in this workshop?
One of the main intentions of my courses is to help you find ways to connect with a style all your own. So I’m happy for you to show and sell any original, innovative work you create… in fact, I encourage it!
However, if you would like to follow along and produce pieces very similar to those within the course, I would ask that you don’t put those pieces out to exhibit or sell if they are close copies of my work. I trust that your heart will tell you what counts as “too close” to it.
I also ask that you understand that what’s taught in my courses are my copyrighted techniques, and may not be taught or packaged as a class by anyone else without express consent. ♥
Can I teach these tutorials in my own classes?
I love sharing generously in my classes, but these tutorials, including all of their video and written content, are copyrighted material and are not to be shared or taught by others without specific consent. I ask that you please respect my intellectual property… I worked very hard to build all of my art courses!
Is there any way I can access this course without an internet connection?
You’ll need the internet to first access the course, but once you’re in, you can download the lesson videos for offline use! (That’s one of the bonus features.)
Can I get a refund?
If you feel like you didn’t get your full money’s worth from this online course and its bonuses, just email me at [email protected] within 30 days and let me know why it wasn’t for you, and I’ll happily refund your money.
