SOUND FAMILIAR?
"I love the idea of painting a little bird... but I wouldn't know where to begin."
So you save other people's work, feel a flicker of "I wish I could do that," and put the brush back down. The blank page wins again.
That's not a talent problem. It's a starting-point problem. We begin with the simplest mark, the right brush, a single bird, and build, lightly and playfully, all the way to whimsical butterflies. One brushstroke at a time, together.
Hi, I'm Carolyn.
I'm a painter, illustrator and teacher based in Toronto, but I grew up in South Africa, surrounded by colour, intense light and the natural world. Birds, bugs and butterflies have always been some of my favourite things to paint.
For years I've taught at retreats and workshops across the globe, guiding artists of every level. Now I've brought it all online so you can learn at your own pace. My style is whimsical, loose and light, and that's exactly what I'll teach you.
