  • WOW!!!I just watched your 1st class last night and I wanted to tell you that in my 3 yrs of taking art classes and several abstract workshops you were by far the most incredible and knowledgeable teacher I have ever had!!! You are so wonderful about explaining every detail of the process and why you do things. I picked up so much just from your first 2 hr class. I am so glad I found you!

  • Paulette's class has truly changed my life. She taught me simple and creative ways to add more dimension to my art. I was so inspired by her class and her encouragement that I started painting every single morning. Now, I start my days by doing something special for me. Thank you Paulette! I can't wait to take the next one!

Hi! I'm Paulette!

I'm a passionate painter with nearly 19 years of experience, with 11 of those dedicated to abstract art. In 2024, I was a Joan Mitchell Fellowship nominee. Since 2008, I have had the privilege of teaching and guiding hundreds of students worldwide, helping them unlock their creative potential and transforming their work through my classes.

Like many artists, I have encountered my fair share of self-doubt and challenges along the way—experiences that are integral to the creative journey. I want you to know that you are not alone in facing these hurdles. These moments have enriched my understanding and empathy as an teacher, and I am genuinely excited to share my knowledge and love for painting with you.

I can't wait to see you creating more confidently, with more joy, freedom and ease!

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • While there are some overlaps in core concepts, my approach to creating this size of artwork (small abstract florals) is different than what I’ve taught in my other classes.

  • You get access as soon as you complete your purchase. Check your email to gain access...and be sure to check that spam/junk folder. ;)

  • My current online classes are all self-paced and don't come with individual critiques.

  • It is two hours long.

  • Yes of course! You don't have to live in the United States to take this class since it's online and you can watch the videos.

  • Yes and it is located on the class website, but if you already paint with acrylic paints and brushes then you probably already have most of what is needed for this class. If you need to see the supply list before signing up, go check it out here >> Workshop Supply List

  • You don't have to use exactly the same things I'm using, but do keep in mind that if you are using cheap craft or student grade paints and brushes, you will not achieve similar results. I recommend you use the highest quality supplies that you can afford...my favorite brands of acrylic paint are Golden, Liquitex, Matisse, M. Graham, and Sennelier because of their high pigment content. You will need good quality heavy body acrylic paints for this class. Cheap paints and tools will only cause you to be frustrated as they don't perform as well as good quality ones.

  • I would recommend it for anyone with at least a little experience painting with acrylics. If you've never painted before, you can still take it and get lots out of it since my teaching style provides plenty of direction because I explain everything as I go along....but with it being just a two-hour class, I mainly focus on painting techniques, rather than the basics of painting with acrylics.

  • There will be some computer/internet skills required to be able to access the class website and the recording, but I feel they are pretty standard and if you're able to create an account on a website, log in, know how to watch content from the web, then you'll have the skills needed.

  • There isn't a Facebook group with this self study class.

  • You will have access as long as the course exists and hasn't been retired...but I advise you not to wait too long to watch the videos and put what you've learned into practice. 

  • This is a one time payment and you will not be charged monthly, unless a payment plan is offered and you choose that option.
