Whether you're a beginner or an amateur artist, our program is designed to help you unlock your creativity and develop your skills in a fun and interactive way.

Do you dream of painting realistic wildlife but don't know where to begin?

So for years I practiced and experimented with paint - painting animal after animal, until finally people started telling me that my paintings "looked so lifelike that they could touch them".

I've learned a lot over the years when it comes to painting realistic animals & wildlife…

And I can’t wait to teach you everything I know.

Our program is designed to be flexible, so you can learn at your own pace and schedule.

All of this is available for just $27/month – that's less than the cost of a single painting class!
Plus, you can cancel anytime with no commitment.

“It has completely made my painting so much easier! No repeated layers trying to get the shading right. Much easier to glaze later!

I don't have any "Before" photos because I've never attempted to paint a tiger before. Thought it was beyond my ability! But her painting tutorials made it so easy to paint a beautiful tiger!”

Carol Raethel

“Danielle's tutorials make creating beautiful portraits of animals a reality even for a complete beginner!

I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up but her explanations are so clear and the steps are so easy to follow!

I even got my art friends to join so we can create animal art together!”

Cathy Haines

“These are incredible courses to improve creating depth and glazing techniques for fur and animals!

Very easy to paint along with too.”

Christine Hyde

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why join The Wildlife Painting Academy?

    I've invested YEARS of my time & energy into learning how to paint realistic wildlife - this membership is like taking a peek inside the library inside my head.

    The real time tutorials complete with my voice guiding you through allow you to jump past the long & tiresome process of trial & error.

    In a nutshell, The Wildlife Painting Academy is like your own personal art teacher that will fast-track your progress

  • How much does it cost to join?

    I'm a total believer that if you set your mind to something, ANYONE can achieve success.

    That's why I'm committed to keeping the cost of this membership low so that you don't have to sacrifice anything in order to get the help that you need to paint beautiful & realistic wildlife.

    So The Wildlife Painting Academy is only $27/month. That gets you access to full tutorials for tons of subjects, with more being added often.

    Need to take a break from The Academy? Cancellation is made easy from within your own account (so no need to awkwardly ask us to cancel it for you). Plus you are more than welcome to join again at any time in the future!

  • What's the commitment?

    I hope you stay for awhile (because trust me, it's pretty awesome inside) but you are totally free to cancel at any time.

    No hard feelings.

    Stay for as long as you find your membership beneficial, and leave whenever you feel that you are ready to move on. Wish you the best of luck!

    To cancel your membership, you can either click the "cancel membership" button inside your user account.

    After you cancel, you'll continue to have access to all the membership content until the end of your billing cycle.

  • Will the price always be $27/month?

    To be frank, nope!

    As the platform expands and the library of tutorials becomes larger, the price of the membership will increase.

    Here's the cool thing though - if you join now you'll be locked in for $27/month for the lifetime of your membership.

    (Yes, that's right - as long as you remain a member we will NEVER raise your rate.)

  • When do I get access to the tutorials?

    You have immediate access and will have lifetime access to all of the course materials.

  • I like to paint but I'm not very good at drawing realistic animals - will this get in the way of my success?

    Thankfully we have your back!

    Each masterclass tutorial inside The Wildlife Painting Academy comes with a printable sketch of the animal subject so you can get painting fast without having to spend hours making sure your sketch is just right.

  • What's the refund policy?

    If you join The Wildlife Painting Academy and the fit isn't right, you can request a refund within 7 days of purchase.

    On the month-to-month, you can cancel anytime. No strings attached or sneaky 12-month commitment hidden in there.

    Because of the nature of digital products, this is a pretty generous refund policy. Don’t be the person who joins, downloads all the material, checks out every lesson, and then asks for money back. We can see that on our course platform. It’s just bad karma.
