Watch the video to hear a brief introduction to the course.
Embrace the light of the coastline or landscape.
Have you ever stood and looked across a vast coastline/landscape and felt completely in awe of your surroundings? It’s natural to want to capture those feelings, absorb the view, and preserve the fleeting moment. While a photograph can serve this purpose, an artist's true aspiration is to translate that vision onto canvas through paint.
Painting the horizon connects us to something greater than ourselves. It's that thin blue line between heaven and earth.
This is what you will explore in Paint the Light, an experimental seascapes painting course for artists who want to capture the beauty and expansiveness of our amazing coastlines, or landscapes.
I’m excited to start this journey with you.
This is a techniques-based course, for curious artists on their art journey. It is suited to artists with some painting experience, however, you do not need to have much experience to take the course, as I cover a lot of the basics to help beginners to improve their skills. More experienced painters will enjoy learning the techniques and processes as a springboard to help improve and develop their own art journey.
The course will be delivered on a platform called Podia. Having signed up there will be a period of ‘onboarding’ while you gather your supplies. The course usually starts in September when the content for Week 1 will be released. During the first 4 weeks there will be a 'live' Q&A with me on Zoom where you are free to ask me any questions. This is usually on a Thursday evening. The course lasts for 4 weeks and after the 4 weeks you will have access to the course material for one year.
You will have access to the course videos and material for 1 year.

Paint the Light came about when the requests for a convenient online course became too loud and too frequent to ignore from Tracey's students and followers.
Previous students from this online course have this to say:
"It was recommended Tracey's online course, and I was so glad I did. The content in the videos is vast and I keep going back to them, as there is access to the course for a year. Having Tracey available for the zoom calls was invaluable and she is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge.
I have learnt to be brave and sketch outdoors (even got photographed recently as 'an artist in action'!) and the tips Tracey provides for this are so helpful.
My paintings have improved so much using the techniques Tracey demonstrates in her course. My work is freer, has greater depth and I feel a truer sense of self as I continue to explore the landscape and develop my painting style.
I have shown my work to a gallery, which I wouldn't have done without Tracey's wonderful course! What a confidence boost!"
"I loved “Paint the Light”. I hadn’t touched a paintbrush for 50 years and since retiring wanted to start doing some art again. Tracey’s instructions and demonstrations were excellent - very instructive and comprehensive. I learnt a huge amount and am very grateful to Tracey for the wonderful and generous instruction that she gave. It certainly got me back on track again. I have finished the course and found it so good that I am starting it all over again. Big thank you Tracey.” Cathy R..
The aim for this week is to fall in love with using acrylic paints and learning about colour mixing.
