Welcome to Painting Polytechnic...

…the new online program and resource for serious painting students.

Modeled on the founder’s painting education while earning a BFA in Painting/Printmaking at the prestigious Kansas City Art Institute, Painting Polytechnic strives to provide the best of an art school education in a systematic, accessible, and affordable manner.   

A Different Approach...

Painting Polytechnic differs from other online painting courses in important ways.  Firstly, we provide parallel instruction to students who want to paint abstractly along with those wanting to paint in more traditional styles.  Secondly, we love all styles of painting and provide an education that teaches you to learn from all of the different historical styles from across many cultures.  Painting is a uniquely human expression; we teach you how to paint better and then we teach you how to critically think about the ideas, experiences and history that influences your artwork.  Our coursework gives you the opportunity to develop both your skills and unique artistic voice.
