Barbara - "My work is more thoughtful... I have more control over my color, and my drawing skills are improving."
What is Accelerant?
It's journals, workbooks, tutorials, community, and a personalized artist plan
It is 6 months of goal setting, feedback, mentoring and accountability painting with Gail
It is strategies from a professional artist that strengthen artistic vision and mindset
I really encourage those who can to seriously consider trying this Accelerant experience

You'll benefit from a focused community of positive likeminded artists
All students get access to IGNITE! - an online library of tutorials, demos, and other resources
Having a mentor/coach asking hard questions and offering suggestions and encouragement has been very helpful.

There is no commitment in a call. I tell you about the programme, how it works, and if it's something that could benefit you, we go from there. 😃
Who am I?
Hi, I'm Gail. Professional Artist and the founder of the Gail Sibley Art School. I decided to offer a 1:1 ACCELERANT programme because so many fellow artists I run into at events like IAPS, Pastel Live, or on my in-person workshops ask me: "What advice do you have for me and my art path?" Well, there are a lot of things I wish I knew a LOT sooner than I did. That's why I created ACCELERANT - to help fellow artists who want 1:1 coaching to create success on their personal art path!
*Important Notice*
Enrolment is limited, and sometimes requires a waitlist. Book in a call to find out exactly what it's about, and how it can help you. ACCELERANT will re-open in February 2025.
What people are saying:
Gail sees things in the subject matter I am working on that I didn’t grasp and as the six months went on, I saw them more often for myself.
Gail has gone through everything there is to know about painting with pastels. What a great teacher she is. Her talent in communicating her enthusiasm is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
I highly recommend Gail as a mentor. Not many art instructors could coach both pastel techniques and art career development. Gail’s exceptional knowledge in resources and her strong commitments to help students is what makes her stand out from other teachers. Gail has always been extremely accessible, resourceful, and above all, fun to work with.
I love Gail’s enthusiasm and talk as she paints. Gail is truly an inspiring teacher.
Do you want to paint with confidence?
I've spent over 30 years teaching artists to paint confidently. To hone the basics and keep learning. Each art path is different, and each can be successful and rewarding. If you're an artist looking to accelerate your art making, lets have a chat, maybe I can help.
Accelerant Artist Review:
Liz J. ~ Fall 2023 Session Artist
Wow! Accelerant is not your usual online art course. If art is ‘in you’ then do this for yourself. It matters not whether you are just beginning or have been painting for a long time.
Wherever you’re at is where Gail will meet you. She will take you and your art to places you never thought possible.
I can’t believe how far I’ve come and I can’t wait for the second session. It may seem pricey but consider that you’re getting the highest quality 1:1 coaching and feedback on your work for 6 months! You can’t get this kind of support anywhere else.
Gail is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and her passion for teaching is infectious. You are ‘good enough’ to invest in yourself. Go for it!
