DURING THE COURSE
You’ll learn how to:
- Embrace spontaneity and explore with playful curiosity
(instead of doubting your every move)
- Ease into flow state, slow down and allow your intuition to guide you naturally
(so you can stop comparing & find your own creative voice)
- Welcome the opportunity to try new directions when happy accidents happen
(instead of throwing your work in the trash)
- Blend tools and materials together in innovative ways
(throw out the rule book instead!)
- Find the magic in your process and your life!
(and clear that negative, judgy inner critic)
“I’ve admired Tracy’s devotion to teaching for YEARS. Tracy is a beautiful and generous soul and a wonderful artist, and she has a special gift for teaching visual art to people who don’t consider themselves ‘visual artists’.
“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.”

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 believed that art was a special gift given only to a select few people at birth. In my family, it was my brother Jason who seemed to have that 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.
But when I was 33, I joined a local art class and my whole world shifted.
Within two weeks, I had the epiphany that art wasn't just for those lucky few. I realized that creativity encompassed all parts of ourselves, that creating things—art, gardens, stories, games, you name it—was actually our birthright, and that spending time creating and making art can actually enhance every single aspect of our lives!
I started teaching as soon as I could, gathering the neighborhood kids into my garden shed, and in the two decades since, I’ve been honing my skills. My mission is to bring more joy, more play, more confidence, and more ease to the lives of my students (now from 100+ countries around the world!) through artmaking.
Over the past ten years acrylic inks have become my main medium. I love their versatility and vibrance, and the possibilities that come when mixing them with other mediums as well.
They offer the fabulous fluidity and transparency of watercolors AND the vibrancy and layering possibilities of acrylics!
For a while now my students have been asking me to create a introductory course to share many of the things that I have learned while working with this amazing medium.
And so here it is!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time is required?
The (five) videos lessons are between 35 minutes and 1 hour 20 minutes.
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 upon 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?
This class has auto captions. We suggest using Chrome to view these videos if you wish to translate them into another language. There is a live caption and live translation setting automatically built into Chrome. You can edit your settings here.
If the above doesn't work for you, try this Chrome extension.
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.
Having said that, here’s a list of everything I use in this art course:
- Watercolor paper 300gsm (I use Strathmore)
- Hand painted collage paper
- Masking tape
- Brushes (one-inch wide flat wash brush, medium flat brush, small flat brush, small round detail brush)
- Bamboo skewer
- Isopropyl alcohol (90%)
- Any pencil to sketch with
- Any dark colored pencil
- A few colored and white oil pastels (cheap ones are okay!)
- Gel pens
- Black (I use pentel)
- White, gold, emerald green, orange, light blue (I use signo uniball)
- White posca pen
- Gel medium or matte medium (any brand)
- Daler Rowney acrylic inks
- Paynes grey, indigo, flame orange, antelope brown, indigo, light green, dark green, olive green, waterfall green, emerald green, marine blue, rowney blue, brilliant yellow, yellow ochre, lemon yellow, white
- Amsterdam acrylic ink
- Light rose, red violet light, reflex orange
- Heavy bodied titanium white (I use Golden but any brand will do)
- Golden fluid acrylics
- Teal, pthalo turquoise
- Holbein acryla gouache
- Olive green, opera pink, ice green
Please note that a selection of acrylic inks and one heavy bodied white are a necessity for this course but the fluid acrylics and acryla gouache are optional.
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 have never used acrylic inks and also for those who wish to expand their techniques and practice with the medium. 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).
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!
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.
The only exception: all sales are final for the $7 digital add-on.

"I am an acrylic artist who lost her mojo. I signed up for a 3 module class with Tracy. It has been a wonderful enriching experience for me. She is organized, clear and so generously shares her abundance of artistic knowledge and experience. I truly recommend taking her courses. Thank you, Tracy, to opening my eyes again to the possibilities."
