You can't go wrong with any of Heather's classes, tutorials, webinars, or brush sets whether you're a beginner or a trained artist in your own right. I purchased her Breaking Out of the Box Portrait Set tutorial when I first started out with Painter, and to this day I refer back to it when setting up a new computer or installation of Painter. I've taken several Painter courses and many are aimed at the advanced beginner or intermediate level, skipping over things like the Preferences panel and setting up the color space. She starts at the beginning and takes you step by step through the process, showing you all the little tricks along the way.

Her tutorials and webinars are well designed and presented in such a way that the material is easy to grasp. Your forever student…if you will have me!'Īrtist, 'Heather Michelle isn't just an accomplished painter - she's a gifted teacher. Thank you Heather, for your wisdom, your elegance but for inspiring me as a Portrait Artist with your ability to open my level of creativity to levels I didn't’ think I could achieve just a few years ago! Heather is always willing to help me when I’m struggling and I’ve never asked her a question that she couldn’t answer. It’s as if she is in the next room! The sessions are recorded which is so helpful because I can watch them over and over again as I practise. It’s crazy to think we are half a continent away from each other. I live in Canada and I look forward to our Webex sessions. This is a tremendous asset because we can talk on the same level with regards to posing a subject and the use of props and lighting with intension to further paint the image. I love this about her! Heather is not only a painter but she is also a professional photographer. She is NOT about the quick fix! She has taught me to see and breakdown all of the colours in skin, fabric and how to apply the appropriate brushwork to accent each detail. Her love and talent shines through as she has taught me about Art theory and utilizing tones within my paintings. I continue to work with her, 18 months later because I love challenging myself as an artist. I have studied Corel Painter for over 3 years and I could not be at the level i am today, without Heather. Heather is patient but instantly began to show me how to enhance my own work. I fell in love with her personality instantly! Her attention to detail and exquisite teaching manner helped me as I was just a beginner in Corel Painter when we started working together over 18 months ago. Each painting had emotion and depth but was unique in so many elements from tonality, flow and impact, When I found out that she also offered private online painting classes for professional portrait photographers, I was hooked. Artist., CR., CPP 'I discovered Heather’s work over 2 years ago as I was drawn to her beautiful brushstrokes and paintings of children. It launched my use of Painter into the stratosphere and now I’m creating art I never dreamed I could imagine!'

Not only did I save money by not traveling to expensive workshops, I got to learn on my schedule, I had Heather all to myself in one-on-one instruction that was custom tailored to my learning ability and my information needs. Using the internet, Webex screen sharing and Heather’s wonderful ability to communicate artistic techniques from afar were truly the best way for me to learn Painter. With very few workshops near me and the expense of traveling just too much to take on, learning Painter with Heather over the internet was the ticket! Amazing that I can watch her paint from 3000 miles away, then we can turn the tables and she can help me brush stroke by brush stroke to master the techniques I so desperately wanted to learn! One-on-one learning is how I get the most out of my education and Heather was there for me all the way. When I wanted to learn Painter, she made it so easy.
