"I started painting professionally since I was 15, with a background in graphic design, theatre, traditional and contemporary art. But it was abstract painting that changed everything for me.

 

In this course, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned—the practical, the emotional, and the intuitive—so you can build work you love and believe in. This is the course I wish I had when I started."

Frequently Asked Questions

What supplies do I need?

You’ll get access to a detailed supplies list and behind-the-scenes videos showing everything I use in my own studio. These include the specific mediums, tools, and brands that help me create my signature textures and visual effects. I also include tips on how to substitute materials, so you can work with what you already have or adapt based on your preferences and budget.

 

Many of the exercises—especially in Module 1—can be done with any paint medium you currently use, whether that’s acrylic, watercolor, gouache, or oil. You don’t need every single supply I use to get results. You’re welcome to watch the full supplies overview before you begin to decide what resonates with your own practice. There’s even a bonus lesson on how to make your own collage papers if you prefer DIY to buying!

Can I take this if I work in watercolor or gouache?

Yes! While the full painting demos in Module 2 focus on canvas-based mixed media and oil techniques, the foundational work in Module 1 is fully adaptable to watercolor, gouache, and other mediums.

 

You’ll get deep insights into color, composition, and visual storytelling that translate across all mediums. The course is designed to help you strengthen your eye and voice—not to copy my process. You can apply the principles and exercises to your sketchbook, paper works, or even develop your own process inspired by what you learn.

How long do I have access?

You get lifetime access. You can move through the lessons at your own pace, revisit videos anytime, and take as long as you need to complete the exercises or paintings.

Is it beginner-friendly?

Yes. The course is designed to support artists at any level. Module 1 breaks down essential concepts like composition and color into approachable, practical exercises. You don’t need prior training—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

 

Everything I teach is rooted in years of formal art education, but it’s distilled into tools and ideas you can actually use—without overwhelming theory. You’ll build confidence in both your skills and your intuition.

What if I’ve been painting for years—will it still help me?

Absolutely. If you have an established art practice, this course will deepen and refresh your understanding of abstract composition, color relationships, layering, and mixed media techniques. I bring a wide perspective—from classical to contemporary art, across various mediums—and I share unique approaches that have evolved over years of professional work.

Is the course available in other languages?

Not yet, but we're working on it! Soon, we'll have subtitles available in German, Spanish and French.

Will there be any discounts?

Confident Abstracts is always offered at the lowest price possible - it's been created over a 10 month period and we've poured countless of hours into it. It's already a steal! ;) As we are planing to add additional lessons to the course, its price will raise in the future. If you'd like to receive those upcoming updates for free, then now is the best time to enroll. Every future addition to the course is included in the current price.
