You’ll smile, be cheered on and inspired by each other motivated to paint more authentically.

I believe that EVERYONE CAN PAINT, they just need a hand and the confidence to get going. If you try your best you'll do your best.
As a Master Pastellist with the PSA I have 35 years of painting experience to share, helping artists to achieve that confidence, skill growth and painting success by providing expert guidance, creative challenges and a supportive global community.
Our online courses and library of demonstrations interviews and more, will help you transform your skills by learning more of the craft of painting so that you can make the creative connection to uncover the most authentic version of yourself and your art.
"TOAS has kept me motivated as an artist. I have learnt many valuable skills about tone, colour, perspective, edges, and composition design; all the important techniques. Karol has the unique ability to present complex ideas in simple layman's terms. Most valued TOAS gift has been the preparation framework for art creation taught by Karol. "

" I feel I have improved and developed my artistic skills immensely through our monthly challenges, and my personal growth and confidence in my artistic career shines through. Thankyou Karol."

About Us.......We are different.
We are different....and that's a good thing!
We are artists, creatives who have different styles of learning, different time frames and defiantly love being in the studio.
Our membership is not about an 'a b c d' transformation of middling to Master Artist in 5 easy steps. We are about LEARNING THE CRAFT OF PAINTING slowly, constantly and deliberately, building our unique creative repertoire one painting at a time.
Most months we have painting projects and challenges. This is where the real work is done, as together we learn a process that is part of the craft of painting and apply it in the project or challenge.
Master Artists from across the world are our tutors. They pass on their ideas and skills in the form of presentations, demonstrations with explanations then questions and answers.
Our members have direct access to these Master Artists to learn and ask those questions. Imagine a pastel artist being able to ask Harley Brown why he does those sort of backgrounds! Imagine the watercolour artist chatting with Kasey Sealy as he demonstrates washes in a landscape.
This is the real us. We are not a fancy shmancy hi tech bust your bum for growth style programme. We are artists, we are different, creatively different. We work nicely alone but not isolated.
Knowing we have a strong engaged community that encourages and supports us, no matter your skill level, painting style or media, your race, religion or colour matters. It takes courage to be creative and membership means no longer being isolated.
We have an annual check in to see how we are progressing with painting. These critique nights are valuable for artists whether it's your art-piece being talked about or not. Being involved in this sort of open discussion could be terrifying but it isn't, it is uniting. Our community is strong and supportive, we cheer each other on no matter what.
The transformations that members have made is obvious when we do these check-ins. Their changes have been made one painting at a time, trying new concepts, fine tuning others while consistently and deliberately making their next painting the best one yet.
Does this sound like the style of learning and creative hub you’d like to be part of? The come and join us.
