I’m Angela Fehr

Every artist should be their own favourite artist. And only you can make the art you’re meant to make.
If you struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism or imposter syndrome when it comes to making art, if you fear the blank page and procrastinate when you want to be be painting, if you’re caught in the web of fearing you’ll just never be good enough, let me help you!
I know how it feels to be a perfection-seeking, mistake-fearing artist, just hoping that one day someone will see something beautiful in my art. **And I know how it feels to find freedom from that pressure and fear.**
Let me help you! Start with an online course at heartledartist.com or come and paint with me in person at one of my studio or travel adventure workshops.
You deserve to love the art you’re making today.

From my students

“Angela provides both the technical tools and the inspiration and encouragement to push past insecurities and learn to watercolor for the joy of working with the paints, to create pieces filled with emotion and memory. No more will I sit down at a beautiful lake and draw ‘water and a lot of trees’ - my pieces are becoming more impactful and individual through the use of the planning, refining, and method (as well as specific painting techniques) Angela demonstrates. Her love of watercolor and of teaching is apparent in every video. Whether you are a seasoned watercolorist needing refreshment or a fledgling artist looking for direction, you will find value in Angela’s course! Her obvious love of teaching and her students’ artistic development - expressed beautifully as excitement for students to succeed - not to paint like Angela paints, but to discover how to paint like Stacie paints!”

“I was struggling for more than 2 years of not being able to paint anything I wanted to share with others, they did not make me happy, and I felt confined and stuck in a place where I did not want to be doing the ‘same old same’, but I had no idea how to escape from that place. I was very discouraged, frustrated and longing to be inspired, but, nothing really grabbed me and I felt as though I was sliding backwards, head first down a steep incline with no way of stopping the dismal failures I was painting. Now, I am stirred up, eager, excited, motivated, inspired, and most of all happy and filled with delight to continue onward on my own in the weeks and months ahead. I am thankful that I can refer back to the course whenever I want..I will be doing that a lot!!”

“My lack of confidence in my own ability was my biggest obstacle. With Angela’s generous sharing of her own tool box of strategies, I was able to move past the fear of failure...The feature I liked best about the course was that everyone was celebrated at their own pace and style. The safety in sharing your work in this safe space was so encouraging and freeing to be your own favorite artist.”
