"Manifesting a painting is no different than manifesting any other experience in our lives."  

– Dennis Perrin

 

Unleash the artist you know you’re meant to be.  

Every painter carries a vision of the work they dream of creating – luminous, confident, unmistakably their own. That vision isn’t out of reach. It’s already inside you, waiting for the right guidance to bring it forward.

The Perrin Method was born from the genius and generosity of master painter Dennis Perrin, whose teachings have transformed thousands of artists around the world. His approach blends clarity, precision, and poetic sensitivity to light – giving you the tools to rise to your highest artistic potential.

What would it feel like to paint with that level of confidence and ease?

Let’s find out, together.

 

 

Meet Our Resident Artist Coach

Aimee Perrin

Aimee’s journey has always been intertwined with the artistic evolution of Dennis Perrin – from the moment he picked up his first brush to the final masterpiece he completed in 2021. She witnessed every breakthrough, every discovery, and every insight that shaped The Perrin Method into the transformative approach artists cherish today.

While earning her degree in Fine Art, Aimee supported Dennis as he pursued psychology, later becoming the muse for many of his iconic figure paintings. After dedicating three decades to raising their family, she stepped back into her own creative practice – relearning how to paint through the very method she had helped nurture and refine.

Aimee assisted Dennis in workshops across the world, played a key role in filming and shaping his online courses, and has spent years absorbing the heart of his teachings. Today, she carries that torch forward as the official Artist Coach for The Perrin Method, offering grounded guidance, clarity, and a deep understanding of what it truly means to grow as an artist.

Dennis Perrin – beloved husband, father, master painter, teacher, and spiritual guide – passed on November 13, 2021. His legacy continues through the art he created, the lives he touched, and the body of work he left for artists everywhere. His teachings remain alive through the courses, videos, and wisdom we are honored to preserve and share with the world.

The Perrin Method exists so that any artist, anywhere, can learn from Dennis’s lifetime of brilliance – and continue the journey he began.


 

Tune in anytime, anywhere in the world

Go at your own pace

 

Through a consistent process of vivid interaction, including live-streamed demonstrations, lively, interactive discussion, individual research projects, and real time Q & A, along with one on one mentoring, we explore and discover together personal, creative terrain that has yet only been imagined. Anytime you want to submit your art for feedback, your coach Aimee will be right along with you.

By eliminating conflicting, dissonant beliefs, and sharpening focus on real, attainable yet lofty goals, you will soar to heights of painting and creative expression that you may not have thought possible. 

Oh, and we also delve into more “realistic” topics like, simplification, value identification, design and composition, color theory, the power of temperature shifting, paint application, palette principles, and so very much more!

Hear from The Perrin Method™ Virtual Students:

  • Dennis Perrin Fine Art

    “As a bare beginner, I have taken many of your online courses and then I just kept painting with what I learned ... now I have gone back and revisited the courses again  chasing the light!!!!
    I have finally painted something that I am excited about, as I used all the info from all the courses and I am happy with the result . I know there is lots more to learn...but I wanted to tell you how much your courses have brought to my art and my life. Now during the lock-down in New Brunswick Canada...I have time to really paint A LOT!”

    “You will learn more from Dennis in weeks or months than you will learn in years from almost any university art school!

    It took me a while to finish this painting but I have noticed that I am now starting to enjoy the process. It is not a struggle anymore. Just love it! Looking forward to my next assignment.”

    “My challenge (as a very new student of Dennis) is to keep reminding myself of the simplicity of shapes and how to stay with the abstract, not the literal. The other challenge, is to keep my pools of color to at most 4 as I proceed. But I am loving the structure and the deliberateness of the process. It's really helping me!”
