My Story

Hi, I’m Marcela. I’ve been painting for over 20 years and I’ve devoted the last 14 years to painting with oils almost exclusively. I’ve tried many ways and I’ve found what works for me.

When I switched over from acrylics to oils, I felt very confused and frustrated. I didn’t know what materials to pick or how to use them. I asked questions and heard conflicting information. Everybody was doing things differently and finding processes that worked for me was hard. After taking many  workshops and courses, I finally found the right approach and I am happy to share.  
 
This online course is for those persons wanting to get started with oil painting and are at the same spot I was years ago. 

There’s a lot I’ve learned about art, creativity, and working as an artist over the years. I’d love to share it all and walk alongside you in this next stage of your creative journey.
I hope you’ll join me!

Frequently Asked Questions

See what others have said about this course:

"Oil painting can seem a bit intimidating to those of us who use other media. As a watercolorist, it was really fun to try something new in a casual, fun setting. Though switching to oils has several challenges, Marcela helped us navigate the differences compared to watercolors or acrylics. Marcela is a dynamic and supportive teacher, so it was easy to get excited about trying a new medium!"

- Tiina S.

"Marcela's approach to teaching is clear, spirited and encouraging, and chocked full of painting goodies. On top of that she is a delightful person, the best instructor I have encountered. I recommend her highly."

- John M. 

"This course is really a very good vehicle to learn how to use oils in a very in-depth way. Marcela takes the time to personally work with every question asked. She also shares her style which is a very freeing method to explore this amazing world of oil painting with lots of demo time, talking about why and how we create. Most of all, it is fun!
