Struggle with painting fabric

Painting ruffles doesn't need to be overwhelming, if you have the right strategy

Maybe you want to paint something playful? Ruffles with all the texturizing you can use might be just that.


I used to avoid painting fabrics

Turns out I didn’t need to. You can turn your painting of fabrics into a success too if you:

  • Have a painting strategy

  • Learn when and where to use texture

  • Learn to use various mediums in your oil painting


In this course you will learn

  • How to paint the light blue-green ruffles featured in my painting “Expectations,” including the exact colour combinations I used.

  • How to build a sense of space within a ruffle painting using colour.

  • How to use texture to take your oil painting to a new level of realism.

  • Multiple ways of softening your brushstrokes.

  • Various ways of using brushstrokes to add a sense of dimension to your painting.

  • How to build a sense of space within your whole painting.

Hi, my name is Tereza, and I am a professional realist painter. I went from painting as a hobby to becoming a gallery artist. My work has been featured in the ModPortrait and ARC hardcover books, The Royal Society of British Artists’ annual exhibition and several press articles, including NY’s Create! Magazine. I was a finalist in Figurativas in 2021 and the Blue Review Art Prize.

In 2023 the ruffle paintings you see here and inside the course were at the LA Art Show with Arcadia Contemporary Gallery.

I turn my step-by-step strategies into courses to help people achieve the realistic painting results I have and better.

Tutorial on painting mint ruffles from Tereza Barnard’s painting “Expectations.”

The first painting video starts on a second of the painting “Expectations”. This video is here to make you quickly grasp the technique. For some this will be enough to know exactly what to do. For others it will serve as preparation for a tutorial on pink ruffles, which starts from first layer and uses more complicated colour combinations.

Painting without words

Some artists enjoy painting while watching others paint. It can be both inspiring and calming. For this reason, I have included a high-resolution video of me painting mint ruffles with relaxing background music and no talking.

Tutorial on painting pink ruffles from Tereza Barnard’s painting "Hopes.”

This is a more advanced tutorial as painting pink ruffles required more complicated colour combinations then painting the mint ruffles.

Lectures on Glazing and using texture

Separate lectures on using glazing and texture are also included.

Downloadable Booklet of “Little Secrets”

There is also a downloadable booklet featuring specific colour combinations for situations when you paint fabric over skin and the fabric needs to be looked through.

Short intro lectures on preparation of painting surface etc.

The introductory part of the course introduces materials and a typical colour set up. We also cover a simple under-drawing prep which uses pencils or Pan Pastels.

Reference images

The course features an array of reference images of various colours of ruffles for you to choose from for your own ruffle painting.
