Michelle is a wonderful teacher and I enjoyed this mini-course so much! I used to be afraid to attempt flowers in paintings. Now I have a tutorial and video to go by. I think I will try the rose now that I have this video and tutorial to refer to.

If I had to sum up Michele's teaching in one word it would be 'accessible'. Michele's explanations are clear and logical. She manages to break topics down to make them understandable, and does this without talking down to the student. The courses are fun, and I really feel that Michele wants me to succeed! The added bonus is being able to dip in and revisit a course whenever I need to remind myself of something. It's like having a tutor on call.

I would try a free course and see if I could do "It" I did it and learned so much. I'm not very artistic and throw all my pieces away but I find the process relaxing and still fun. I have lots of room for improvement so look forward to participating in more of Michele's courses.

I am retired and like to get into the garden when weather permits. But on those long dank shivery days I like to enfold myself in the warm blanket that is a teaching video from Michele. She is a wonderful teacher, entertaining and friendly. Here modular style of teaching suits my butterfly brain that flits from one time filler to another. She delivers insightful messages in bite size pieces. I love her command of colour and technique.

    Michele simply wants more people to know about her work, and for you to get personal experience of her tuition. The more people that know, trust and recommend her the more people she can reach!

  • What's the catch?

    No catch, but if you like the course we would love you to share it with a friend, in an art group, or on social media using the hashtag #MichelesRose

  • What other support will I get?

    In addition to email access to Michele, there is a dedicated Facebook group, just for students of Michele’s Thinkific courses, where you can compare results and get advice alongside other students. If you have any access or log in issues or trouble understanding how to navigate the site you can also find another copy of the PDF access guide pinned to the top of the Facebook group - it will make everything clear. If you don't use Facebook just email Michele, there's a form on her website.

  • How long will I have access to the course for?

    After you register for the course you have lifetime access, you can take the course at your leisure and re-visit it any time you like. Plus you will automatically have access to any additional content or upgrades that are added at a later date.

  • Will I get a ton of email spam now?

    Michele sends out an email newsletter approx once a week with new free and paid products, helpful advice and links to her latest YouTube videos. There are also pre-sale offers that only subscribers get when she launches new courses. We would love you to stay subscribed, but if you don't like the newsletter just scroll to the bottom of it and click 'unsubscribe' you will immediately be removed from the mailing list.

  • What materials will I need to buy?

    If you already have paper, paint and brushes you may not need to buy anything. This tutorial is designed to be as flexible as possible and does not insist you have exact colors and brands. However, there's a downloadable PDF with tons of advice and links to suggested materials so you can choose what to buy if you don’t have anything. Plus there's a handy list of 'color swaps' to show you alternative colors you can use.
