My Teaching methods
I use a unique method for the visual enhancement of images, based on my book Create Perfect Paintings. Along with your session, you will receive any supplemental materials and resources needed to enhance your learning. These can include pdf versions of my books, helpful videos, articles, and demonstrations.
Your session is customized for YOU. We can focus on any topics relevant for you and your work and can include anything in the following three areas:
- Techniques & Technical: Direct one-on-one assistance to create the techniques, special effects and painting styles you want to achieve. Relevant demonstrations, videos and other materials are supplied to give you maximum results quickly.
- Aesthetics, Design & Philosophy: We can view your paintings together for optimal advice on strengths, and any ideas to make your work visually stronger, to get more attention and achieve optimum viewing attraction. I offer self-critique techniques to strengthen your ability to view images with a keen eye.
- Career & Business: Advice and assistance on pricing, exhibitions, gallery representation, agents, statements and other publicity materials, audience strategies, websites and web presence.
❝ Nancy’s coaching has been instrumental in my development as an artist. I was able to stop an internal struggle to finally become the artist that I wanted to become. Her methods enabled me to step back and critique my work thoughtfully. What I learned changed my perspective in all areas of my life. I am much more settled. I am finally painting for the love of painting. My struggles have turned into lessons of patience and humility. I finally feel I am on an undeniable road of personal and professional success. ❞

Nancy’s Teaching Philosophy
With all classes enjoy interactive, live instruction. I’m a professional artist and best-selling author, and I love to teach as much as I love to paint. Also, I care. At least that’s what I’ve been told by the thousands of artists I’ve taught over the past 30 years. I personalize your course material so you can build a unique creative toolbox, for a lifetime’s worth of painting wisdom and techniques!
Painting is more than just paint!
If you’ve ever taken a yoga class, you get it. It’s not just about the exercise—it’s a way of life. Similarly, painting is not just about making a picture. We paint to access our creative side. Yes it’s about paint but so much more! This is the heart of all my teaching. I can help you find ways to be in, and stay in, the zone; add more ease & flow to your process; and help you discover new ways for painting to energize you and your life.
Painting is also like yoga where we benefit the most taking each pose to its full expression. In painting when we take each aspect of painting to its full potential we have mastery. With my classes, learn to fine-tune your paintings and take your work from good to great. Get the results you want quickly. Attract new fans as dedicated as paint splatters clinging to your easel.
How can my coaching help you?
As artists we are creative and will naturally continue to evolve and change our art. We may change many things related to our art such as mediums, painting style and content, even color palettes, and especially our vision and goals. Change is inevitable to stay joyful, productive and creative. At times we may find ourselves happily in a flow and on a roll, while other times it’s just the opposite – and we feel unmotivated and ready for a big change. Either way I can help you move forward with your work. All levels of experience are welcome. Any painting medium or style will benefit.
