Live the Dream of Becoming a Professional Artist:
Have you secretly always wanted to become a professional artist?
Is a lack of interested buyers and commissions keeping you from making art your day to day job?
Are a lack of time and your current career keeping you from pursuing your true calling?
Are you done being asked to do paintings, because people just see you as being able to paint?
What if I told you it’s possible to make a living as a painter, without all the fancy art school degrees? Without having all the time in the world to do so, with having other career commitments and without being asked for commissions of copies of other artists’ art.
You don’t need countless workshops and seminars, every style of paint, a-million-and-one brushes and tools and all the time in the world to paint to live the dream of having a career as a professional painter.
Perhaps you’ve already done some of that…
And you’re no closer to your goal…
In fact, you may doubt your talent, or feel selfish for continuing to try… and you are CERTAIN you don’t want to go back to school or deal with BS like homework EVER. AGAIN.
Or maybe you don’t even really try, because you feel like you can’t spend time and money on you pursuing art when there is so much else that NEEDS to be done.

Hi, I'mTereza Barnard
And I’m a realist painter and online course creator. But I also have degrees in psychology, and once upon a time, I was a junior clinical psychologist, and I loved that work!
When I moved back to my home country, the Czech Republic, for a couple of years, I had to wait for my degree certifications from the UK to be recognized and in the meantime, I landed a career in interior design, working for hotels… (I liked that work, sometimes.)
But if I’m honest… something was always missing… and it took reading a book about our ‘true calling’ to wake me up and make me realize… I wanted to paint. Professionally. That was only four years ago, while I was a new mum on maternity leave…
All I wanted to do was spend my days getting my hands dirty, joyfully creating art that flowed from the depths of my soul onto the canvas for people who couldn’t wait to pay top dollar for my work.
It wasn’t a smooth and seamless journey. I had my share of bumps in the road, but that’s what I’m here
and a collector waitlist – you need someone who’s done it before to show you the way.
My work has repeatedly been chosen as finalists in world-renowned to help you navigate. If you want to be a full-time artist with art available through reputable galleries realist competitions such as ARC Salon, ModPortrait, and hardcover books and magazines. Recently, a New York gallery took my paintings
to the LA Art show.
How? Well, that’s what this DIY course will show you. I held nothing back, so you’ll get EVERYTHING you need.
I cannot WAIT to see what you do next!

You Find Realism Too Tedious
Half of this course applies, no matter your style, but all of the painting instruction is based in realism.

Not sure if this course is right for you? Send us a question at studio@terezabarnard.com
Does it matter if I'm new to oil painting?
Not if you are ambitious. This course shows the whole painting process, including what surface to paint on, which brushes I recommend using and what colours I have on my palette. If you are serious about your ambition, then this course is for you
Is there a limit to my access to course materials?
You will have access from the moment you enrol for at least 24 months and often longer. However, most of my courses I run for years. You will have access for as long as I keep it available
Will I learn something if I work in acrylics and not oils.
Absolutely. The first 4 modules of the course are all about oil painting. Some things will be different for acrylics, such as not having to be mindful of drying times across different mediums used with oils. But a lot of what I teach is applicable to a variety of media, such as using texture to create a three-dimensional realism. The second part of the course is all about your art and how to strengthen and develop your own visions and present them on your website and social media. This part is applicable to anyone.course is for you
I only want one part of the course, can I buy it.
Naturally, everybody is on a different level and delving into different aspects of becoming an artist. There will be parts of the course you will be more interested in and you'll want to know more about them. That's perfectly natural, but it's very important that you don't miss any crucial pieces of the puzzle and have access to the whole course to have a full picture.
