Lesson Index

Finding the right lesson has never been simpler. Our gorgeous new Lesson Index gathers every painting from all our years together — over 300 lessons — into one beautifully organized document. Everything in one place, easy to browse, and in the digital version, just click to jump straight to any lesson. No more searching or scrolling — your whole library, right at your fingertips.

Outside the Studio

Our brand-new feature takes you with Marla beyond the studio walls for experiences we’ve never shared before — behind the scenes at gallery shows, through world-class museums with her own commentary, into the framing studio, and on location at workshops and events. This is the unvarnished life of a working artist, and you have a front-row seat.

A celebrated master known worldwide for his bold, energetic style and masterful use of color and light, Tony brings a lifetime of expertise to every demonstration — an ongoing gift for our members to learn from a leading figure in the world of pastels.

ArtSpeak w/ Masters and Students

ArtSpeak returns with a special twist — this year, featuring our own students! Candid conversations with members of our community about their journeys, breakthroughs, and growth as painters. After eight years, some of the most inspiring artists we know are right here among us.
