Online Art Classes
These are videos of Anna’s Paint Alongs – edited, step by step classes, complete with extra notes and printable guides.
With a huge range of subjects and mediums, you’re bound to find something you’d love to paint!
Demonstration Collections
From time to time Anna chooses a new (often eclectic!) theme and art supply and paints/sketches between 6 and 12 artworks.
These have been filmed live as Anna chats about her thinking and supplies. It might just get you sketching!
Paint Along each month
Make art a regular habit, and save $$$ with Anna’s Shiny Happy Art Club.
Each month you have access to a high quality Paint Along, in both acrylic and watercolour, and you’ll ‘accidentally’ learn to paint along the way!
Hi, I’m Anna,
Your artist + guide
I’m a colourful painter who lives in a slightly mad pole house in Toowoomba with a very long cat and my two youngest kids.
I’ve always loved to make art. 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.
Shiny Happy Art is where I share and teach my love of drawing and painting. My superpower is making art simple and beginner-friendly, so take a look around to find a subject you’d like to try.
Welcome, new Art Friend. Let’s make some art!
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.
