Painting: “Portrait of a Girl” by Michael Pearce
IN THIS MODULE…
We kick off the course by copying this contemporary masterwork to develop your eye for nuance and form.
This isn’t about copying mechanically, it’s about seeing deeply:
-
How did Pearce use light and brushwork to give her skin that glow?
-
Why do her eyes feel so alive with just a few shapes?
You’ll learn how to extract lessons from another artist’s decisions and apply them directly to your own voice.

What are Critiques and Why Are They Important?
When you enroll in this course it’s not a buy it and forget it purchase. You’re enrolling in an active community with 2x weekly coaching calls where you can get DIRECT help with your painting. Listen to my students as they talk about their experience with the live support.
Here’s An Example Of What A Critique Looks Like:
Lynn had never picked up a paintbrush before enrolling in the program and describes the feeling as ‘magic’.
Anyone can learn to paint Lifelike Portraits in Oil using this course!
My student Andrea had never picked up a paintbrush before, let alone ever painted a face, and in just a few matter of weeks she went from ZERO experience to having her work listed in a gallery! Here’s what she has to say about the program.
Meet Debbie Porter – a former ‘YouTube Junkie’ talk about the difference that having the live support made in her oil portrait journey.
I’ve provided a complete list inside the course, with links to my favorite places to buy. If you have painted in oils before, you probably have most of them already, and if not, I’ve made it super easy to get everything you need!
Meet Mary, who talks about what it’s like to learn from Rebecca – and having faith in yourself.
On the fence about whether or not this program is worth the investment?
Watch the video below where my students talk about their investment in this program has helped not only themselves… but their family, their relationships, and their community. After listening to this video, you’ll realize you can’t afford NOT to invest in this program.
Karin thought she was crazy when she signed up for this class, because she thought she was terrible at drawing and painting – but now considers herself an artist!
Meet Joan – who talks about how she wasn’t successful with the format of the traditional lessons but after working with Rebecca she was able to accomplish more than she ever thought possible.
You are supported every single step of the way!

Yes! I’ve had several students sell their first completed portrait, win art fair competitions, and have galleries and collectors approach them about shows and commissions, all from the VERY FIRST portrait. Listen to my student Andrea recall her experience having an Art Director price her painting!
Regardless of your experience The way I teach is designed to get you results quickly without all the fluff!
Having previous experience will help you master the concepts that I’m going to teach you even faster.
But if you don’t have any prior experience, that’s ok too! I’ve found that often, my best students are the ones that come to me “empty” because it’s easier for me to teach them brand new concepts! The most important thing is having a “I CAN DO THIS” attitude.
This course is completely online and available 24/7!
Listen to my students Mary and Nancy as they discuss their experience in their first online-only art class with me. Spoiler Alert: They both loved it, and decided online is even better than in-person!
