The Playful Painter ensures you can paint with ease and get back into that playful mindset you desire so much.
Hi I’m Tracy.
I've been teaching students to loosen up and find joy through art for more than 20 years. When I was a kid I really believed that art was some kind of special gift only given out to a select few at birth. In my family it was my brother Jason who seemed to have the magic art gene. He would spend hours sprawled on the floor sketching and whenever I tried to do the same my work would inevitably end up in the bin.
It wasn’t until I was 33 that I joined a local art class and my whole world shifted. Within two weeks I had the epiphany that art wasn't just for the lucky few and that creativity encompassed all parts of ourselves, that creating things; art, gardens, stories, games etc was actually our birthright and not only that, but spending time creating and making art could enhance EVERY single aspect of our LIVES!!
I started teaching way back then, gathering the neighbourhood kids into my garden shed, and since then I have been honing my skills with a mission to bring more joy, more play, more confidence and more ease to the lives of my students (now from 60+ countries around the world!) through artmaking!
Do these thoughts cross your mind when looking at art you love?
- I'm just a beginner, I wouldn't even know where to begin painting something like this.
- Are they painting intuitively? Are there any rules here? I think I need a balance of intuition and structure... So much to learn and understand!
- I love the layers but what comes first? How do I get started? Do I dry in between? How do I keep such vibrant colors? Mine always ends up a mess full of mud!
- I wonder about how to stay on track and not let my doubt about my own work take over!
“For years, I’ve longed to take a painting workshop from Tracy Verdugo. Tracy is a beautiful and generous soul and a wonderful artist, who has a special gift for teaching visual art to people who don’t consider themselves visual artists... I’ve admired her devotion to teaching for YEARS. Tracy, you are a gift. Thank you for this day. I’m going to sleep with my fingernails caked with paint, and my imagination full of color.”
- Elizabeth Gilbert

What’s Inside the Playful Painter online class?
Five hours of downloadable video content and the feeling that Tracy is right beside you cheering you on!
Lesson 1- Sunshine and Spontaneity
In this class we’ll explore warm and cool palettes and the beauty of where they meet. Inspired by Spanish sun and potted plants on white washed walls, we’ll take a leap into spontaneity and vibrant color!
Lesson 2- Abstract Play
In this lesson we begin with an intention to step into flow, to silence our inner critics, give up control and allow a conversation to begin to happen between ourselves and our art.
Lesson 3- The heArt of Imperfection
In this lesson we revisit some of those “failures” and experiments and make an ode to the beauty of imperfection out of freeform love hearts! In art as in life there is always beauty to be found, even in the “messy” bits.
Lesson 4- Everything Old is New Again
In this lesson we’ll focus on which end of the “what if” spectrum we habitually find ourselves sliding towards and how consciously choosing curiosity and wonder can open up worlds of play and possibility in our art, and help us to move from fear to wonder in our lives, as well as open up play and possibility in our creative endeavours.
Lesson 5-Three Little Birds
In this lesson filled with color and fabulous mark making I’ll share how it’s possible to shift a painting by focusing on the parts that are working instead of the parts that are not.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time is required?
There is around 5 hours of pre-recorded video content so the lessons are perfect to watch at any time during the day.
I don’t have many art supplies. Can I still do these lessons?
Absolutely! While Tracy always has her favorite supplies, we 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 is a list of the supplies Tracy uses in this art course:
- Watercolor paper, masking tape, pencil, acrylic inks, paints, acryla gouache, various paint brushes, various mark making tools (bamboo skewers, twigs etc.), gel pens), paper towel, gel medium, black gesso, stamps/stencils (optional), chalk and charcoal, isopropyl alcohol, colored pencils, spray bottle with water.
I already bought another one of your online courses. How is this different?
All of Tracy’s online classes are unique and completely different from one another. This course is both for artists who feel stuck in their practice and for those starting out. Tracy's aim is to provide inspiration and possibility thinking for all creatives!
What kind of support and feedback is available?
We always are happy to offer email support at [email protected] OR would love for you to ask any questions in our Alumni Facebook group, where Tracy pops in often and you can gain the help and perspective from other students too.
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 and add [email protected] to your contacts list).
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 and an internet browser (we recommend Chrome). We host our videos on Vimeo so please make sure you can access this in your country.
Can I share this with a friend?
Once you purchase this class it is for your eyes only. Please keep your login details to yourself but feel free to share our website and this offer if you think a friend would enjoy.
Can I exhibit or sell the work I create in this workshop?
One of the main intentions in my courses is to help you find ways to connect with a style all of your own. So, with this in mind, I’m happy for you to show and sell original, innovative work created. If, however, you feel that you want to follow along more closely and produce pieces very similar to those within the projects that is all good, but 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 is too close. We also ask that you understand that these are Tracy's copyrighted techniques and may not be taught or packaged as a class by any individual other than Tracy without express consent. ♥
Can I teach these tutorials in my own classes?
I love sharing generously in my classes but please respect my intellectual property and remember that these tutorials, including all video and written content are copyrighted material and not to be shared or taught by others without specific consent.

Are you ready to dive into painting with more joy, play and wonder?
Here’s what I know for sure; art opens the heart and mind to possibility and potential. It sparks and fuels our imagination and helps us to see beauty within and walk through the world more confidently. Art is the process of learning to create ourselves and experience the world in fresh new ways. Art supports a more expansive view of life: beauty, curiosity, wonder, spirituality, storytelling, helping us to be more present in the moment.
Art keeps the magic alive and the hope in our hearts.
I’d love you to join me in this class and in fact I created it especially for YOU. I believe in you, am cheering you on and wishing every good thing for you and I can't wait to see you unfurl and shine as we move through these lessons together!
Lots of love,
Tracy xo
