What is the Acrylic Diva Atelier?

First things first: Atelier is a fancy French word for “studio”—but with a twist. It means hands-on learning, mentorship, and making art in good company. Hans Hofmann-style (my hero). And that’s exactly what this is. And it is not inside any social media platform. It’s private. Just for us.

Our live sessions are the heart of the Acrylic Diva Atelier—a chance to connect, share your paintings, ask questions, get personal feedback, and learn alongside creative friends. Between gatherings, you’ll have a treasure trove of recorded painting demonstrations to sharpen your techniques, inspiring color palettes to spark fresh ideas, playful art challenges to stretch your creativity, and fascinating artists to discover. It’s a welcoming place to grow your skills, find your artistic voice, and keep your creative spark glowing—with plenty of encouragement and room to play!

“After more than 40 years of making art and teaching, I’ve learned that some of the best creative breakthroughs happen when artists come together to paint, share ideas, and learn from one another. That’s what I love about the Atelier. It’s a place where I can share what I’ve learned, help you find your own artistic voice, and enjoy the creative journey together.” — Tesia
