Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Karen Bonaker

As a professional digital artist and traditional painter with over 30 years of experience, I know exactly what it's like to transition from the physical canvas to the digital screen.

I founded the Digital Art Academy to provide a patient, encouraging sanctuary for artists who want to master modern tools without the stress of "tech overwhelm." My teaching style is calm, step-by-step, and always focused on the joy of creating.

"Karen's teaching style is so patient. I was afraid I'd never 'get' digital painting, but she explains things in a way that just makes sense to a traditionalist."

Margaret S.Traditional Watercolorist

"Finally, a Rebelle course that doesn't move at 100mph! I can actually follow along and paint my own projects. It's been life-changing for my retired years."

James R.Retired Illustrator

Got Questions?

We've gathered the most common concerns from our artist community.

Yes! This course is specifically designed for those who may be hesitant about technology. I use a gentle, patient pace and explain every tool in a simple and understandable way.

You'll need a computer (Windows or Mac), the Rebelle 8 software, and a drawing tablet (like a Wacom, Huion, or similar). If you're unsure which tablet to buy, I provide a guide inside the first module!

Not at all. You get lifetime access to the classroom. You can watch the lessons as many times as you like, whenever works best for your schedule.

Yes. Rebelle 8 and this course are fully compatible with both Windows and macOS systems.

You are never alone in the sanctuary. You'll have access to our private community where you can ask questions, and my teaching style is designed to help you avoid common "tech traps" before they happen.
