We understand how it feels to not have a place and resources that focus on religious art. We make our focus Biblical art and teach in an environment of transformation both of craft and spirit.

Do you struggle with:

  • Finding other artists helping you improve your art?
  • Finding art classes that are of high value?
  • Connecting with other Christian artists?
  • Hitting a wall with cost prohibitive classes that are not flexible?
We GET IT

Creating is a spiritual endeavor that is much better in community.​

Old Masters Meet New Technology

 

There are very few Art Academies that teach people excellent drawing and Painting skills while nurturing and helping fortify their belief in Jesus Christ. With the invention of the Internet we can harness believers worldwide that have a great propensity and desire to Draw and Paint Jesus’ life. We have the ability to network with Christians worldwide as well as believers worldwide in a system that can help each student succeed.

What our Students have to Say

These classes are really good … it pushes me to work harder on my art, no matter what type of material I’m using.

Whether it’s acrylic, pencil, oil, or watercolor my abilities have grown a lot. Thank You!
Joanna, Student
Before I wasn’t that motivated to do art. I would do it whenever I felt like it. After I started I would draw and paint all the time….. I’ve seen myself improve a lot. His classes are fun and every time I learn to do new things. It has also given me a chance to see the artist world and how I can put my work out there. I really enjoy it.
Anna, Student
I was trying to The Religious Academy because it is faith-based.... I paint from my imagination without reference and felt that my figures could use some improvement. I have been studying anatomy with Paul Grass for over a year now. My confidence and speed in figures has skyrocketed.
