Hi! I'm Ardith
I teach painters who are ready to find their own visual language and strengthen their skill sets as painters are what I base all of my teaching on.
From taking an online class, a one day local class, a week long workshop, or traveling the globe with me, I offer a range of course options.
“Ardith’s classes are so different from most of the classes I have taken in the past. Being a self-taught artist with a gift for communicating and a nurturing spirit, she has led me to a place where I am beginning to understand myself as an artist—what I like and don’t like, what inspires me, personal preferences, and what brings me joy in my art. She shares her knowledge and experiences willingly and abundantly, making each class a smorgasbord of new ideas and inspiration. If you want to grow in your art, Ardith’s classes are a great place to start.”

“ I have taken many online classes with Ardith Goodwin and can say that she is my go to instructor for many reasons. Yes, she is a talented artist but even more, she is a brilliant human being and excellent teacher who knows how to bring out your best work. Her classes have an abundance of content, balances with live interaction. Ardith has the depth of experience to know the questions you need to have answered, before you even know the questions to ask. Highly recommend any of her courses!!!!

“Ardith’s classes are truly fabulous. I love the mixture of process videos we can watch on our own time with the live sessions that allow for in the moment questions and impromptu demonstrations. Ardith really puts her whole heart into each class - it is easy to see that she genuinely loves the creative process and helping her students find their own way. I have never felt like her classes were about copying a particular look or style (like many project-based online courses). Instead, Ardith encourages her students to embrace their own style and apply the skills she so expertly teaches to further inform and develop their artistic individuality. I have loved every class I have taken from Ardith (both in person and online) and know that her guidance has had a tremendous impact on my growth as an artist."

“I’m a total Ardith addict. Her classes are outstanding. They are packed full of learning, she interacts in the facebook group way more than any on line teacher I have ever encountered. She really does teach....and she cares how her students are doing. The live facebook sessions are always lively, usually with demo painting and always with answering questions. The community she builds with each class is always supportive. I have great FB friends that I met in Ardith’s classes over the years. There is a wealth of text and video content which you keep for as long as you want. It’s really good value and ALWAYS fun!! Highly recommended.
