Why consider learning with me:
Hi there, I’m Gabrielle Brickey! I’ve been creating art for over 20 years and I still feel as passionate about it as I did on day one.
I have a passion for art, but I also have a passion for teaching art because I remember how it felt when I first started to learn. It was a struggle! And I want to help you alleviate some of those struggles that come along with learning this new skill.
I’ve taught thousands of students how to improve their drawings and illustrations and I’d love to help you on your art journey too. Let me share with you the essentials of color that have taken me years of study to figure out.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with many companies over the years, including Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, Huion, XP Pen, Ohuhu, and more.
If you have always wanted to learn how to use color, but didn’t know where to start, jump into class today and let’s start creating.
Are beginners welcome? What if I’m more intermediate or advanced?
Beginners- We’ll start with the very basics: the three properties that make up every color. Then we’ll build from there! I try to get into the mind of the beginner when creating my foundational art classes, so beginners should feel at home in this class.
Intermediate or Advanced- you may know this stuff already! However, I have always pulled value from beginner courses myself, because they are taught from a new perspective. So more intermediate and advanced artists are welcome if you’d like a refresher or are interested in learning ideas from another perspective. I’ve found that everyone teaches color differently, so feel welcome!
