COURSES and
RESOURCES

Stephanie has a unique skill set as a live wedding painter, and her decade of experience in the field makes her especially qualified to teach and mentor other artists pursuing the same career path.

I'm Stephanie, and   I    help artists become more skillful, confident and profitable in their art business. 

There are countless paths to success as a professional artist, and I'm here to help you get really good at a niche and luxury service for artists: Live Wedding Painting. 

I'm here to coach you through self-doubt, push you past skill plateaus, and help you find and attract your dream clients. 

Along with wedding industry-specific advice, you will be transformed as an artist who in the past may have been limited to the copy-paste method of commission work, but moving forward will know how to craft interesting compositions, mix colors and apply paint in a way that is unique to your personal style, and capture the face and form in a flattering and convincing manner. 

I can't wait to help you book more weddings and commissions, raise your prices to match your work's increasing value, and create and execute a plan of sustainability for your art career.

Wedding Painter's Blueprint

Introducing my signature course

A 12-week online course for live wedding painters designed to build confidence, strengthen painting technique, and provide support for growing businesses.

All of this...
and so much more!

It has truly been amazing to have fellow artists who are willing to give advice and understand what we go through as live painters!

I noticed significant improvements in my composition, painting figures, committing to a light source and even my speed! I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made. Having learned so much from Stephanie’s WPB and this journey has been truly amazing. I hope to continue improving and that my experience inspires others to keep painting and learning!"

Courses for Painters Who Want Skill, Confidence, and a Profitable Art Business

The Stephanie Gaffney Courses collection is designed for painters who want more than inspiration — they want clear systems, stronger skills, and real momentum in their art and business.

Whether you are refining your portrait technique or building a full live wedding painting business, each course is rooted in real-world experience and structured to eliminate guesswork. This is education for artists who want measurable improvement, not vague advice.

Wedding Painter’s Blueprint

The Wedding Painter’s Blueprint is a comprehensive, premium program for artists who want to build a successful live wedding painting business from the ground up. This course covers everything from positioning and pricing to booking clients, managing wedding-day workflows, and delivering a polished client experience under pressure.

Inside the Wedding Painter’s Blueprint, you’ll learn how to confidently market yourself, price your services for profit, streamline your live painting setup, and create systems that support consistent bookings and long-term growth. This course is ideal for painters who want to turn live wedding painting into a reliable, professional business — not just an occasional gig.

Portrait Practice Course

The Portrait Practice Course is a skill-focused training designed to help painters improve portrait accuracy, speed, and confidence. This course teaches a repeatable portrait workflow that emphasizes value, color, and decision-making so you can stop overworking paintings and start producing stronger results with less frustration.

Through guided lessons and practical exercises, the Portrait Practice Course helps artists loosen up, improve likeness, and build a more intuitive painting process. It is especially valuable for painters working in portraits, commissions, and live events where speed and confidence matter.

Education Built for Real-World Painting

All Stephanie Gaffney courses are designed to support painters working in acrylics, oils, or mixed media and apply equally well to studio work and live environments like weddings and events. The training emphasizes systems, structure, and confidence — helping you work faster, paint better, and make smarter decisions both creatively and professionally.

Each course includes clear instruction, practical demonstrations, and frameworks you can return to again and again as your skills and business evolve.

If you are ready to elevate your painting, improve your workflow, and build an art career that supports your life, explore the Stephanie Gaffney Courses and choose the program that fits where you are now — and where you want to go next.
