Testimonials

“Take this course (the Realist Academy™”). It’s nothing short of fabulous! I went from painting like average to painting realism in literally months! I am now onto the next step, creating the voice and making it sell!”

— Michelle Cyr

“I also want to send a huge thank you to @terezabarnard and her The Realist Academy™.” The class is beyond amazing, it has completely changed my art and let me finally paint the images I see in my mind. There are no words…just thank you, Tereza. And if you haven’t seen her work, it’s stunning! I highly recommend a look.

— Lauren Knollmeyer

“Hi Tereza, I just wanted to let you know I’ve sold the first painting in Applique series! It’s still a work in progress, but clearly, What I learned from you in the Realist Academy works and collectors can see what my work is all about! The RA was the best investment I’ve made in myself and art. Thank you again.
