A TIMELESS PRACTICE, MADE YOURS

There's something magical about oil painting. The richness of color, the ease of blending, the quiet rhythm of brush against canvas. And there's something even more powerful about turning that practice toward the human face capturing not just a likeness, but a feeling.

But for many, both feel out of reach. The materials, the techniques, the confidence to move from a blank canvas to a finished piece that feels alive.

This bundle is here to change that. You'll start by building a real foundation: setting up your own creative space, understanding your tools and materials, and learning the techniques that bring oil paintings to life through thoughtfully guided lessons.

From there, you'll bring that foundation to portraiture. When light, shadow, and form are working together, everything starts to click, your paintings feel more cohesive, more intuitive, more your own. You'll learn to see value more clearly, understand form with more confidence, and approach each portrait with a process you can trust.

With every brushstroke, you'll build not just skills, but the confidence and clarity to make this practice fully yours so your portraits don't just look right, they feel alive.

It's your time to begin.

Hi, I’m Jess Currier, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I'm a full-time painter based in Los Angeles, where I live and work in one of the world’s largest artist-in-residence communities. I’ve been dedicated to practicing oil painting for over a decade, and I developed my expressive style through years of still life, floral, landscape, and portrait paintings! You might know me for my signature figures layered with translucent floral patterns that explore themes of longing, resilience, and beauty as an act of brave rebellion.

But you might not know that I also have an MFA in studio art. I've studied painting in Florence, Italy. My work is exhibited across the U.S. and Europe and collected around the world. And I teach hundreds of students the foundations of painting through my local workshops! But at my core, I’m still just someone who fell in love with oils and never looked back.

I’m creating this course to be the kind of resource I wish I’d had at the beginning of my journey: accessible, encouraging, and rooted in experience. Whether you’re brand new to painting or just want to reignite your creative spark, I’m here to help you build your skills as an artist and find joy in the process!
