Every lesson is a gift. You unwrap and sometimes feel, “hmmm that’s not for me, I won't use that (color swatches 😜) and then you discover the amazing gift Pam has given you. It’s always invaluable.

I enjoy the self-paced nature of the course as I tend to take a long time to work and rework things that are "deep". There is an extensive resource of videos to learn from and the whole course seems very well designed and redesigned from previous years of the course. I think this course is a great way to get in touch with the artist within each of us.

This entire course and program is amazing and led by a master painter and teacher Pam Caughey, is truly an incredible experience for every artist. I have learned so much from her program and applying everything I have been learning into my own painting practice! I am a much better artist and becoming even better as I go.

This is an incredibly enjoyable and comprehensive masterclass focused on shape and size. After an outstanding introduction to the design element of shape, Pam offers a wide range of prompts that help you discover and develop your own visual preferences.

While there’s a strong emphasis on play and having fun, this is far from a lightweight course. That playful approach has helped me overcome my tendency to overthink my next move in a painting and make quicker, more confident decisions.

The Art and Success Masters class feels comparable to an advanced university-level curriculum. Pam’s enthusiasm and generosity as a teacher truly shine through and make the experience even more meaningful.

I can’t recommend this class highly enough!

This is one of the most comprehensive art schools ever. I appreciate P. Caughey’s in depth teaching in design, visual language, materials, and everything you would expect to get in an MFA.
Great community and willingness to go along side of anyone on their painting journey.
Professional artists and mid beginning recommended.

Pamela Caughey’s Art and Success Master Class is a truly comprehensive training for artists. Every lesson is thoughtfully designed to foster real growth. Through this program, I’ve gained tremendous confidence in my ability to problem-solve while creating my art, and I feel like I’m well on my way to finding my unique voice as an artist. Pamela’s guidance makes the learning process both inspiring and empowering.

The module on value was worth the entire course. Very in depth discussion and excellent examples, exercises and challenges to help the student understand all the aspects of value. There's also plenty of opportunities for continued exploration of this so important design element.

I am just finishing up Master Class 1 -- will be revisiting and continuing to work on the two sketchbooks I started in this section. I really appreciate and respond to the methodical direction of Pam's teaching, balanced with a clear understanding that how each person responds to and interacts with these lessons is open. Use what resonates now, come back later or not, there are no rights or wrongs beyond engaging fully as you are. This is not a lightweight course. Pam's familiarity with contemporary art is refreshing and sharp. I would say this course is for people who are serious about moving their art forward through better understanding of design principles, color theory, etc., and by becoming aware of universal and individual experiences and struggles and through better understanding of oneself.

Really enjoyed the unit on shape. The videos and assignments made the concepts clear and there were lots of ideas for further exploration.

This program is well planned and given in bite size pieces that can expand as desired. I am very impressed with the quality of work of the other artists. I enjoy the community of artists.

Pam brings a very organised and in depth approach to these classes and shares lots of ideas to help get you started. Since the class I have continued on my journey of looking out for and collecting examples of line and texture that I may use in the future. I really notice I have more tools at my fingertips now with which to resolve my paintings.

It is so easy to find your place in this program. The website works wonderfully for keeping track of the lessons you have completed and what you might have skipped. Right now, although we are starting a new year going through the program, I am going back to the point last year where I lost focus. I can make up or catch up at my own pace.

This experience was worthwhile because of Pam's extensive knowledge of art and art-making. She presents material in an organized, clear progression making it easy for all levels of artists to understand and benefit from.

Content and consistency is always Pam’s expertise!
An amazing talent for all levels of Artists!
Love her!

My second year in ASM has really ramped up my learning, it’s a process, a journey of discovering more and more of my personal voice and having the ability to use the design principles to problem solve and interpret what I am seeing and feeling on the surface. Pam is an extraordinary teacher and her admin team backs her up and enhances the learning experience!

As I progress into my second year of the ASM Pro course I wanted to share my experiences and the positive impact ASM continues to have on my growth as an artist.

Revisiting the course content has proven immensely beneficial. It has not only reinforced my understanding of design basics and color theory but also deepened my appreciation for the importance of continuously engaging with these fundamental principles. Each session provides new insights and strengthens the skills I am working to develop.

I particularly enjoy participating in the large group ZAP sessions. Despite their length, these sessions are incredibly valuable. They offer a workshop-like environment that is both inspiring and informative. Hearing about the techniques, supplies, and tools others are using broadens my perspective and introduces me to possibilities I may not have considered independently. The diversity in artistic voices present in the ZAP sessions is especially enlightening. As someone who is still in the process of finding my unique artistic voice, these sessions are instrumental. They expose me to various styles and approaches to painting, prompting me to explore what resonates with me and what does not.

The Admin-led discussions, too, are a significant source of inspiration and learning, particularly in understanding other artists' methods and approaches. This focused analysis is incredibly helpful as it encourages me to reflect deeply on how I might similarly use or adapt these elements in my own artistic endeavors. For instance, this month's focus on Line and Marks was particularly enlightening. I recognize my preference for both structured, solid subjects and free-spirited mark-making. Previously, I felt conflicted trying to choose one approach over the other, but the discussion opened my eyes to the possibility of harmoniously integrating both styles in my work. Understanding that it doesn’t have to be an 'either/or' decision has been liberating. It allows for a more expansive expression of my artistic voice, and I am excited to explore this blend in my future projects.

This course, with its rich variety of learning formats and opportunities to interact with fellow artists, plays a crucial role in my artistic journey. It encourages me to reflect critically on my preferences in art and nurtures my development in a supportive and engaging community.

Thank you Pam and Admins for your guidance and for facilitating such a dynamic and enriching learning environment.

This is course is not a how to draw or paint class. It's about understanding the elements that make up art and your reaction to them. It doesn't matter what medium or style of artist you are. You will be a better artist than you were before you started.

I have just completed Master Class 6 and am about mid-way through the one-year course. I went into this course hoping to "find my voice" as an artist and I have been surprised to discover my love for marks/line, color, and shape!

I am turning 70 this month and sometimes you think you know yourself and nothing will surprise you. So you can imagine my surprise when I had ah-ha moments! How did I not already know this about myself?

Already I can see how these newfound discoveries can and will influence my work. Now over the next 6 months I will have the challenge and pleasure of doing just that.

Thank you Pam! You are a talented artist and teacher.

Pam is a generous gifted instructor. I've loved the variety and professional organization of the material. I feel that I've learned so much in just 6 months. I'm excited to put that learning to use in the next 6 months.

I explored value using watercolor as this is the medium I prefer. Although it was difficult I learned from ASM yr 2 more about watercolor. There is no pressure and so much encouragement that I have enjoyed every month and resisted the temptation to move at a faster pace. There is so much value in going deeper into value!
