Why I chose this one

I fell for this scene because of the light

The sun pours through that big window and throws long shadows across the wall, and the orange chair just glows against all the cool blue around it.

In this lesson I'll show you how to paint sunlight and shadow so it feels warm and real. You'll see how a few bold strokes can say "leaves" without painting every single one, and how warm and cool colours sitting side by side make each other sing.

Don't worry if drawing isn't your thing. I'll give you the outline so you can get straight to the paint.

Hi, I'm Michelle

I've been painting for over 20 years and teaching for over 14. I paint loosely with lots of colour, and I love helping people find their own way of painting.

You won't become a copy of me. You'll learn a process you can take into your own work.

A few quick questions

Buying this painting gives you the Orange Chair lesson on its own, with lifetime access to that one lesson. Brush Flow is a monthly membership that includes this painting as well as over 80 demonstrations already in the library, two new paintings every month, the monthly challenge, live Q&A and feedback sessions, and the private community. If you think you'll want to paint more than one, Brush Flow works out better value.
Absolutely. You get a drawing template to transfer straight onto your canvas — with grid lines included if you'd like extra help with the proportions — so you can skip the drawing and get on with the painting.
Either works. I paint with acrylics and the approach translates well to oils — the materials and colour list tells you exactly what I used, so you can match it or adapt it to what you already have.
If you buy the single lesson, it's yours for life — come back and paint it as many times as you like. Brush Flow content is available for as long as you're a member.

Shall we paint the Orange Chair together?

One lesson, one painting, and a process you can carry into everything you make afterwards.
