Aimee's Paint Club
ONLINE, Live, Ongoing. Paint Club meets twice a month. It's not a class, exactly, although there is instruction--it's more of a cross between a mentorship, a learning space/joy meetup, and a warm group of friends coming together for inspiration. Everyone is welcome! I have met so many of you in workshops and want to be able to support you and your learning on a regular basis.
- We meet twice a month in live online sessions. Meetings are USUALLY the first and third Mondays, from 9 to 11 am Pacific time (meetings will be recorded, so you can watch them later). Sometimes the meetings are on other days, always announced well in advance and listed on the Paint Club Calendar.
- Topics include:
- Paint-along color exercises
- Lessons on various painting problems
- Painting Makeovers (like the ones in Plein Air Techniques for Artists)
- Longer demonstrations
- There's a Chat Group where you can post your work, ask questions, and share inspiration
- I'm building a library of instructional videos and painting prompts, which you can access any time.
- You're invited to repeat the exercise, or design your own assignment based on what is alive for you.
All levels are welcome. I mostly paint in oil, but may also demo in other media. Regular meetings are the first and third Mondays of the month from 9 to 11 am Pacific time (please note there may be some exceptions to the schedule). Join us!

Three-Quarters Lighting Challenge
ONLINE at Acrylic University.. This is a pre-recorded series of eight videos.
Join Aimee Erickson in her studio as you create eight beautiful still life paintings. Walk with her through each painting using traditional 3/4 lighting. Explore how edges, highlights, shadow, and light bring dimension to your work.
Note: 3/4 lighting means that 3/4 of the object is in light and 1/4 is in shadow (a wonderful, classical way to describe an object.)
