Painting As a Practice | Chapter 1
LAYING SOLID FOUNDATIONS
Are you struggling to find the time and space for a regular art practice?
Or feeling stuck or not knowing where to begin with mixed media painting? Or perhaps you are feeling burned out and deflated in your creative practice and want to reignite that spark that you lost along the way?
I have felt all of those things in my 10 years of being a professional artist and that's why I created 'Painting as a Practice'. This approach to painting is designed to help you bring play, experimentation and fresh discoveries into your art practice, whatever your level of experience.
In this extremely accessible first chapter I'll teach you what an art practice is and why it's valuable. And I'll show you how to make one that's fun, easy and thus build a beautiful foundation for art making for years to come.
Learn My Approach to
MIXED MEDIA PAINTING
In Chapter 1 of my painting as a practice trilogy you will learn all about my personal approach to establishing a mixed media art practice in a way that is both beginner friendly and juicy for experienced artists. I'll walk you through exactly how I paint as a practice and demonstrate what art materials and supplies I make in my own practice. You can follow along in my detailed instructional videos or springboard off them to create visions of your own, the choice is entirely yours.
I created this approach to painting as a way to bring fun back to the studio when I was feeling burned out creatively. It brought so much fresh creative energy and expansion to my work, that I just HAD to share this powerful framework with my fellow artists.
This instant-access course is available to begin anytime and is completely self-paced. All lessons become available when you register to watch as quickly or as slowly as you like.

TESTIMONIALS
-
Susan's classes are chock full of delicious instruction! She walks you step-by-step through her painting process and generously shares several painting projects from start to finish. Along the way she offers you many delightful tips about color theory (she makes color theory very easy to grasp) and how she uses different media to add more visual interest and mark-making in her work. Susan is so inspiring and encouraging. I never fail to get a boost of inspiration and motivation when I take part in her classes.

What I love about Susan’s courses is that they ignite the magic within. As a beginner artist I find her courses easy to follow in a way that I can also find and express my own personal style. When I paint with Susan I feel like a painter, not a student.

I just love Susan's courses. I have taken many on-line art courses and this is the best I have ever taken. Can't wait for her new one to come out. I love that she shows us her practice and then step by step process of how to draw and create these amazing colourful flowers and abstract gardens. She is the best!!

I’m Susan Nethercote (she/her) and I am a painter living in Ballarat Australia.
My artwork examines the relationship between the cultivation of flowers and botanicals, and the ways we seek to create a sense of home, place, and spiritual connection through both domestic and public gardens and the broader landscape.
In 1998 I received my degree with honours in Fine Art at the University of Melbourne, where I also lectured and tutored. From 2000 until 2015 I established and ran the independent clothing label ‘Manque Design’.
In addition to maintaining a significant online presence, I sell my artwork globally, license to various lifestyle, fashion, and decor brands worldwide, host the ‘Studio Insider Art’ podcast with over 230,000 listens, teach via online classes here, and create videos on YouTube.
In 2018 I hosted an artists’ retreat in the south of France. My first solo exhibition in 2022, ‘Autumnal Dreamscapes’ was a sell-out success and she have exhibited in numerous group exhibitions. I was the 2022/23 winner of the AGES Society Art Prize. In 2024 I am commencing her MA in Visual Art.
I’m passionate about teaching art to others and I look forward to welcoming you to my classroom.

No, you truly don't. Painting as a practice is very much about starting where you are and getting creative with what you already have. I encourage you to gather together all those supplies you already have (including those that might be hanging out in the kids art cupboard) and begin by using those. You may be clearer on which supplies you choose to invest in throughout the course, which is completely fine.
