Not Just Another Painting Course (Or Another Marketing Course, Either)

I’m Tereza Barnard, and if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to doodle a Christmas postcard, this is not the place.

There are plenty of painting courses out there, but The Realist Academy is different. Here, we’re not about dabbling—we’re about mastery. High-level realism, serious skill-building, and a no-nonsense approach to making your work stand out.

But painting well isn’t enough. You also need to know how to get your work seen, valued, and sold. That’s why The Realist Academy doesn’t stop at brushwork—we cover the business of being an artist too.

And beyond artists, I work with visually-driven brands—tattoo studios, creative agencies, and businesses that understand that good visuals aren’t just decoration; they’re strategy.

What You Won’t Get Here:

❌ Basic “anyone-can-paint” beginner courses.
❌ Generic marketing fluff that could apply to any industry.
❌ Trend-chasing advice that turns you into just another forgettable brand.

What You Will Get:

✔ Advanced realism training—because skill should be taken seriously.
✔ Marketing & branding strategies that actually work—because “just post consistently” isn’t a strategy.
✔ A clear path to making your work stand out—whether you’re an artist or a brand.

If you’re looking for a shortcut or a hobbyist online courses, this isn’t it.

But if you want to master realism, market like a pro, and build something worth noticing? You’re in the right place.
