Book single or multi-session in-person painting lessons to learn the fundamentals of oil painting.

I’ll meet you wherever you are — from buying your first tube of paint to painting your 1st, 10th, or 100th painting. My goal is to help you better understand critical painting concepts and give you the structure and accountability you need to show up, practice your skills, and get better at painting.

I'll curate each session to address your goals and challenges related to the fundamentals of oil painting; like drawing with paint, understanding light and value, color theory, and paint mixing and handling — to name a few.

We’ll paint together so you can see what I do and get feedback and support in the moment.

Student testimonials

“I’ve already learned an exceptional amount from just two of our coaching sessions. The exercises and feedback for my homework are pushing me to improve my skills. The videos and tutorials information are helping me continue learning in my own time which is great.” - Emma

“I am learning to see the colors, Sarah, as you say. This is the way of painting that I always admired and although it is very hard reading and mixing the colors I see, I do understand the process. Your class has moved me to the next level. Thank you.” - Patricia

“I’m astonished with how much I learned.  When you showed me the bowl of lemons I thought, ‘She’s not going to make me paint that is she??’  It looked impossible.  I never thought I could advance to more than one object in a painting ... the process you showed me of seeing the object as a whole ... was wonderful.” - Kimberly

“This exercise is really helping me to simplify and I feel like I’m learning so much from it ... it’s the same old story: value value value. I’m counting on you Sarah to pound this into my head lol“ - John

“Through repeatedly working with Sarah, I have learned how to analyze a still life and my own work without her feedback. She’s given me the tools and confidence to be an independent painter.” -Stephanie
