Portrait of Naomi, founder of The Oil Painter's Studio

Meet Naomi

Made by a painter, for painters.

I’m Naomi, an oil painter and the creator of a growing family of practical tools for artists. The Oil Painter’s Studio brings together what I’ve learned at the easel: clear guidance, thoughtful technology, and the belief that painting becomes more rewarding when the next step feels understandable.

Whether you are learning to mix a convincing skin tone, testing a composition, or simply looking for encouragement to begin, you are welcome here.
