MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I’m David — digital artist, educator, and founder of Paintable.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve helped thousands of self-taught digital artists go from “dabbling” to confidently creating the kind of polished, imaginative illustrations they’ve always dreamed of — even if they started late, struggled with self-doubt, or felt overwhelmed by life.

I’ve built Digital Painting Academy specifically for artists like you, so you can finally create consistent art from imagination… and become the artist you truly are.

Join today! Become the artist you were always meant to be!

Don’t Let Another Year Go By

If art is an important part of who you are, it deserves a place in your life.

I know how easy it is to let it slip when things get busy. But this part of you matters—it’s how you connect with your creativity, your joy, your sense of self. You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to keep going. And I’ll be here to help you along the way.

It’s not because you’re not trying—it’s because you’ve been doing it alone. Without a clear path, professional feedback, or a supportive space to grow, it’s easy to get stuck repeating the same mistakes.

The truth is, raw practice isn’t enough when you’re navigating this all on your own. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

My big Promise:

Spot The Difference in 30 Days, or It’s on Us!

STILL UNDECIDED?

Give It a Try—Totally Risk-Free (30-Day Guarantee!)

I genuinely believe you’ll love going through the Academy, just like the thousands of students before you who’ve seen real results.

But hey, I get it… not every course clicks with everyone.

That’s why I offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you dive in, complete the lessons, and give the exercises your full effort (but still feel like it’s not the right fit), I’ve got your back.

No hard feelings, no weird hoops to jump through 💛
