“It is too good to be true! I have purchased and joined sooo many instructional tutorials/groups. Dropped and canceled them all. This is jaw dropping in content, support, and community. The real-time feedback itself is a game changer. Found my tribe!”
“How much easier it’s been than every other time I’ve tried digital painting. It is absolutely set up to help you succeed with the feedback and slow progression. I think the difference is the feedback before moving on to the next lesson and being able to take the time necessary. The feedback is invaluable!”
“I am beyond thrilled with this ongoing course. I have learned so much in just the first month. Michelle Parsley is a phenomenal teacher who shares her knowledge and expertise in order to make us all better painters. My ‘class time’ is my favorite time of the day. I could go on and on…”

Beyond the Brushes is a monthly membership program where you'll learn the skills necessary to create hand rendered, mixed media artwork. The goal is to become a master painter in Photoshop -- also known as a Photoshop Artisan.
With clone painting, you do NOT need any drawing skills. You start with a photograph and hand paint OVER the photograph bringing in your subject like magic and eliminating the most difficult stage of learning to paint -- the ability to draw!
If you have more of an artistic background and some basic drawing skills, it is absolutely possible to paint beautiful works freehand in Photoshop CC. As a matter a fact - the image at the top of this page is 100% freehand!
While most students in Beyond the Brushes opt for clone painting, there is absolutely enough latitude for those that wish to tackle freehand work once the tools are mastered!
Not with Beyond the Brushes.
In our thriving membership, learning to paint in Photoshop is accomplished in a close-knit community. It's more than rules, it's more than tools, it's more than technique... It is SO much more than that.
It's eye opening, "ah-ha" moments that spark the fire to learn!
Creative people need to be with other creative people in a creative space! Let me tell y’all — with all the negativity, ads, and suchlike — Facebook ain’t it!
