There are 4 ways I teach
Online Paint Alongs
These are videos of my Paint Alongs – edited, step by step classes, complete with extra notes and printable guides.
You can purchase these individually or simply join the Shiny Happy Art Club and save $$$.
Demonstration Collections
Each month I choose a new (often eclectic!) theme and art supply and paint/sketch between 6 and 12 artworks.
These are filmed live, in real time, and I chat about my thinking and supplies. It might just get you sketching!
In Person
I regularly host Art Holidays in Queensland, and sometimes overseas. I also occasionally run local art workshops for adults and/or children

A Painting
Every month I design, paint and film a brand new, high quality Online Paint Along that guides you through a painting, step-by-step.
And you accidentally learn things while we paint.
With Simple Supplies
They’re all done with just one set of paints and brushes.
It means that setting yourself up to paint is easy.

Hi, I’m Anna,
Your artist + guide
I’m a colourful painter who lives in a white brick house in Toowoomba, Australia, with Maeby the Studio Dog and my two younger kids.
I’ve always loved to draw. That some people think they “can’t even draw a stick figure“ makes me very sad. And anyway, stick figures are overrated!
Being able to pick up a pencil or brush and confidently draw or paint is a fabulous way of living. It’s a gateway to Creative Problem Solving and that’s important for all of us.
Another bonus – Art Friends are the best friends.

An amazing teacher
Anna – you’re an amazing teacher! So lovely! You used the “think aloud” strategy better than anyone I have encountered (I was a teacher and administrator for 37 years, so I’ve seen a lot of teaching). This was fun!
My skills and confidence grow every time…
I am loving the Shiny Happy Drawing Course, Anna. Congratulations on such a wonderfully creative and informative program. The way you’ve differentiated, to accommodate participants’ time and experience is fantastic.
I can’t stop!
Anna is a natural teacher. She scaffolds the learning and I have so much more confidence to draw and paint now. I can’t stop.
My skills and confidence grow every time…
I have done many of Anna’s courses and have seen my skills and confidence grow every time. I highly recommend her classes.
