Do you ever feel stuck while painting?

I help abstract artists make clearer decisions from the first brushstroke to the last, so you can stop freezing, stop overworking, and finally feel more conifdent in your process.

After 40+ years as an artist, I’ve built unique systems to simplify and demystify the art process to make expressing yourself on your canvas feel doable, and not at all scary. 

My techniques will help you:
  • Know where to focus
  • Make decisions
  • Keep your paintings moving forward

Techniques you won’t find anywhere else…

because I invented them

Some of those systems:

The SCALE method. Triangular color-mixing systems. Painting guides. All-new techniques, all accessible to you through the Art with Adele Academy.

testimonials

“The series of steps Adele takes you through immediately builds confidence. No matter how unmotivated I am, after watching a lesson I’m always running to my garage to attack some canvases.” 

Rambeau Studios

“You’ve given me the courage to try to make art. Sounds silly, but a blank piece of paper or canvas intimidates me — or should I say it USED TO intimidate me.”

TLC

“You come up with great systems to clarify and simplify the complex problems we all encounter in the process of painting. I would not have thought of that on my own, so thank you!”

Ellen

“I’ve learned more from you than all the previous classes I’ve taken. Now I can giggle while I paint.”

Bianca Mace

“I’ve learned new ways of approaching the canvas. Adele and the Art with Adele community is a safe place for honest positive feedback.”

Beth Neuhoff

“I am no longer afraid of making mistakes, I use them, I play with them and too bad if the result is less than satisfactory. I learned and I had fun.”

Exclusive Excerpt

Look Inside

Questions other artists have asked before joining the Academy

I’m new at painting. Is the Art with Adele Academy right for me?

I’m new at painting. Is the Art with Adele Academy right for me?

Yes! This is a perfect place to start if you’re new to abstract painting. 

The Academy includes videos that show you my unique color-mixing system (the first step for any artist standing in front of their canvas). There are also simple exercises to help you gather ideas, and videos where you can watch me paint in my step-by-step manner so it feels like you are sitting right next to me and learning all the way through.

Unlike a traditional online art course, the Art with Adele Academy gives you full access to all 250+ exclusive tutorials, so you can continue using it as your skill set grows. (And don’t worry: as soon as you enter the tutorial library, our Learning Paths will show you the best place to start as a beginner.)

I’ve been painting for many years. Will this really help me?

Yes! The Art with Adele Academy community is full of experienced (and professional) artists like you. 

Even as a long-time professional painter, I consistently take courses because I learn something new each and every time. Even if you know color theory, you have never had the chance to learn my unique triangular color-mixing system. The tutorials in this course are designed to inspire breakthroughs with new techniques and new ways of creating.

What is the cancellation policy?

You are able to cancel your membership to the Art with Adele Academy any time you like. 

Is there a certain order I have to go in?

No. Just like Netflix has movies for all tastes, the Art with Adele Academy has videos to cover all aspects of your art practice. 

However, we do give you tools to make it easier to know where to start. Our Learning Paths will help match your skill level to the videos that you might be most interested in watching first. Our Video Guide (included in your Art with Adele Academy membership) also lists all the tutorials by title and date, so you can easily scan the list and know where to start. 

Can I go at my own pace?

Of course! As long as you are a member, you can freely pause and return to the tutorials when you have time to jump back in. 

What if I don’t have time for this right now?

Instead of thinking about the Art with Adele Academy as an online art course, think of it as a living tutorial library. 

As long as you have the membership, you can easily pause the videos during the busy periods of life and come back to them when need inspiration in your abstract art practice. 

How much does it cost?

How much does it cost?

The price will never go up for you once you join. Your price is locked in for as long as you are in the Academy. The monthly cost will go up periodically for new members but not for you.
