Hi, I'm Miriam Schulman and I help artists develop their skills and profit from their passion through my online art classes, business coaching programs, and top-ranked podcast, The Inspiration Place.
I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn’t believe I could make a living at it. I skipped art school and went to work on Wall Street instead. Back in the 90’s you’d find me at the World Trade Center in my Ann Taylor suits, but after 911 happened, I took it as a sign from the universe and made art my full-time career.
Now, I help all artists (from absolute newbies to professionals) develop their skills, tap into their creativity, and grow thriving art businesses - so that they can have the time and freedom to create art and do what they love.

![🎨 Every time you look at a portrait, do you think “I wish I could do that?”
If you 💕love💕 to paint, you’ve probably thought about painting the people closest to you: your family👨👩👧👦, friends👭, grandchildren👶, or your furbabies🐶.
And yet, because portraits🖌 can be so powerful, they also tend to be 😳 the most intimidating to try
And that doubt and fear leads could lead you to miss out on one of the biggest gifts🎁 you can give - a portrait that contains all of the love❤️️ and emotion❤️️ that they feel.
✏️ When I first started drawing portraits, I too struggled to use traditional academic drawing methods. But then I stumbled upon a simple “TABOO TECHNIQUE” that easily captures people’s likeness and discovered it’s the DIRTY SECRET behind most professional portrait artists. They use this “FORBIDDEN” TECHNIQUE but don’t want you to know what it is.
🖌After completing dozens of 💵commissioned portraits that make my clients 🤩“ooh and ah” I’ve folded this technique and other short cuts into my “5 P” PORTRAIT PAINTING PROCESS🎨 and taught this process to hundreds of my students so that they could create portraits they could be PROUD of.

![If youve ever thought to yourself I dont feel like a real artist. Its okay. Weve all thought that at one time or another. That is all part of impostor syndrome. Another variation of impostor syndrome is Who am I to...
🌸
Maybe its your inner critic, but sometimes its more than just your inner critic. Were really just imagining somebody criticizing us. Its what that person is going to think.
😳
I suffer sometimes from impostor syndrome too. We all do.

Can you relate?
