Hi, I’m Brandon Schaefer
Painting, learning, and building a meaningful life around art.
Follow along as I share new paintings, creative struggles, lessons, and ideas from the artist’s life.
I create paintings that inspire you to explore, reflect, and find peace in the world.
I share my journey, my paintings, and the lessons I learn along the way.
My goal is to help artists find their own path and keep going when the work becomes uncertain.
Learn with Me
As an artist, I have 15+ years of experience painting with acrylics, oils, and now exclusively watercolors and 30+ years of drawing practice.
I’ve taken what I’ve learned over the years from my own practice and created easily-accessible online courses to help grow your understanding and improve your own art practice more efficiently and effectively.
Collect My Work
I release original watercolor paintings in small collections.
Join the early-access list to see new work before the public release.
What Collectors are Saying
I love your art. I purchased a drawing of yours awhile back of a puffin with some blue color splash on it. I love it, thank you!

The paintings arrived and are gorgeous. Are they really originals? I thought I was buying signed prints for that price. I admire your work and character and find we have some things in common.

I bought your Tiger Painting a few weeks ago, it's brought me a certain joy.

I’m an artist and teacher with 15 years of experience painting and drawing. I have created hundreds of finished works, painted extensively from life, and learned firsthand how much doubt, experimentation, and imperfect work are part of becoming an artist.
I now help artists understand their materials, make clearer decisions, and keep working when a painting becomes difficult.
I believe art is something you return to over a lifetime. My goal is to help artists stay connected to that practice, with less pressure and more clarity.
