Frequently asked questions
Is the course live?
This is a self-paced course. This means the content is made of pre-recorded videos you can watch whenever you want, at your own pace.
You can pause and play along as you paint, and come back to any lesson whenever you want to revisit a technique or try an exercise again.
Do I need any prior knowledge or experience?
No! You don't need any talent or a perfect plan. We start with simple, playful mark making using basic art materials and things you can find on a walk, then build up step by step through colour, grids and collage until you've made a small series of your own.
For how long will I have access to the course?
The course will be yours FOREVER! You can watch the videos as many times as you want and for all the time you want!
Why should I start this journey with you?
Because I've been where you are. I lost my artistic way for years, and I know how it feels to stare at a blank page. I teach the way I paint now: no rules, no perfection, just playing.
Is the course suitable for everyone?
Yes! Whether you're a complete beginner, someone who used to make art and put it down, or you already work in another creative field, this course is for you.
I don't give you a formula to copy. I give you a gentle structure and permission to play, so you can find a way of making art that feels like you.
Can I take the course at my own pace?
Absolutely! All the lessons are pre-recorded, so you can start whenever you want, pause, rewatch and take all the time you need. Even five minutes at the kitchen table counts.
Will I have support during the course if I get stuck?
Yes! You'll join a private Facebook community where you can share your work, ask questions and see what other students are creating. I'll be there too, and you can always reach out to me directly.
Are course registrations open?
No, the registrations for my course are currently closed! I am focusing on supporting my students and providing the guidance they need. But feel free to follow me on social media so you get the information you need when registrations open again. You can find me at @rachelwheatley.art on Instagram.
