Testimonials
"I was searching to find a tutor that painted animals with realism. Quite by chance I found a free tutorial by Rebecca online, and that was it....hooked.
Rebecca is a born teacher, her tutorials are extremely clear and divided into different sections, making them a delight to follow. There are such a variety of tutorials, that there is definitely something for everyone.
I have only been a member for a year with Rebecca , but I have learned so much just in that short time. My biggest regret was I hadn’t found her sooner!
I encourage anybody of all age groups to try this wonderful school. I love that if a member of the school is struggling, there are constantly people driving you forward with encouragement.
Rebecca replies to all your questions at all times, and of course with her wonderful teaching drives us all forward to a higher standard all the time.
I honestly would be at a huge loss without art and Rebecca. Huge thanks."
- Jennifer
"I have just completed Rebecca's free lessons over the last few days. I never thought I'd be able to create something like this but Rebecca's lessons are so easy to follow."
- Michaela
"Thank you Rebecca! I was feeling discouraged … how did you know?
I really love your realistic style and I appreciate your teaching because you seem to know when I get lost in a painting. For example … when you started the “Dog’s Eye”, after you transferred the drawing to paper, you outlined in pale grey, so you wouldn’t get lost. That’s what happens to me! It was an “Ah-Ha” moment.
Loved it when you said "don’t worry about that … we will come back later and fix it … it looks a bit sloppy right now, but that’s ok." That helped me tremendously, because that was my problem! I would look at what I had done and give up. I lost the confidence I had when I started. Thank you for giving it back to me.
Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your help! I feel refreshed again that I can do this!"
- Karen
"The online classes are taking me on such an exciting adventure and I feel her classes are also taking my work to another level.
The very first painting that I did, following her wonderful concise instructions allowed me to sit and smile at my finished painting.
Her work is outstanding and her classes ... well, I can't say enough good things about them.
Everything is explained so well and shown so clearly that I feel she's sitting right there next to me!
PLEASE, take the time and visit her online school where you can watch some of the step-by-step tutorials in real time."

Can I Sell or Exhibit my Painted Images from the Tutorials?
The tutorials are designed to teach you the technique to develop your skills, and should make up a portfolio for your own records. Copyright of the actual course images remain with Rebecca Rhodes, therefore the paintings should not be exhibited, sold, or reproduced as original work by the student without written consent; they can, however, be gifted to friends or family and should be labelled in the title as taken from a Rebecca Rhodes tutorial.
Should you find similar subjects, live or from photographs, you can use the techniques shown in the course to create an original piece for exhibition sale or reproduction. Following these guidelines should avoid any accusation of breach of copyright by the gallery or art exhibition curator.
It is advised that painters always credit Rebecca Rhodes when sharing any work derived from this site. See "Terms of Purchase" for more information.

Before becoming a full-time artist, I enjoyed a 27-year career as a public school Music Educator. In 2015, I retired from teaching to focus on painting and founded this online school in 2017. I love to teach and hope that you find these courses enjoyable and helpful. Always feel free to contact me if you have questions or suggestions.
