Tricia's skills have skyrocketed!

"All expectations were exceeded. My husband can attest."

 I went through all of the videos with intensity and now I am ready to go back and really dig in. I already have so much more confidence, I feel like I have been unlocked! The main part of the course and the lessons about flow state are amazing! I was surprised that once I understood some of the concepts, my skill skyrocketed.

Cailyn found her style

"My biggest challenge was, of course, finding my style. I have been painting for a few years but never really found my “thing”.

After going through this course, I pretty quickly was able to develop my style and I was absolutely amazed that it happened. I’m even more in love with art than ever before!

Celine found new inspiration

"This is the perfect course for artists who are stuck and feel uncreative!"

Furthermore, you do a deep dive into sketching from basics to advance and I feel like Section 2 ("Art School") alone is worth the price of the entire course!

"The sketching and shading in segment two is mind blowing."

I’m spending days on it and taking my time. There is so much to learn!!!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course for any level? Or just beginners/advanced artists?

Absolutely any level! This isn't your average art course. This is a go-at-your-own-pace style course and we cover all the right things for every level.

Is this course just for professional artists?

This course is for the hobby artist, the artist just starting out and painting things for friends, for the professional artist...all of the above! As a hobby artist, finding your style is just as important because it helps you to sit down and know exactly what to paint and creating pieces that you truly love and our proud of. Which makes you want to practice more!

How long do I get access for the course?

The course is all self-led! You'll have ongoing access for the lifetime of the course. You can watch the videos and go through the material at your own pace! Watch however slowly or quickly or as many times as you want!

Do I need any supplies/tech for the course?

Besides a device to watch the course videos, a large section of the course is all about sketching and watercolor foundations. You will want a pencil, eraser, journal/sketchbook and watercolor supplies!

Does the course come with a community?

The course is self-led with a lot of guidance/exercises/drills built into the videos and handouts, but you're welcome to join Patreon to join my art community!

Why is Flow School separate?

"Flow School" is for those who want to use their art practice mindfully, achieving flow state more regularly to create their best work. If you prefer a focus on foundational skills and creating your unique work, "Art School" and "Style School" are perfect for you!

What's the difference between The Art Within and Everyday Watercolor Companion Course ?

The Art Within is a course on masting art foundations (with a strong focus on sketching) and developing your own style as an artist. Everyday Watercolor Companion Course emphasizes key watercolor techniques from my books, helping you better understand and apply the lessons.

I paint with a different medium other than watercolor. Will this still apply?

Absolutely! This section is mostly working your sketching and observance muscles more than specific art techniques.

How do I add "Flow School" to the course?

Just click on the checkout buttons above for either the payment plan or one-time payment and once you submit your contact and payment information, you'll get the screen with the option to add it on!

What's the difference between the course and your Patreon/YouTube?

YouTube/Patreon are step by step tutorials that help you paint a specific subject. This course covers the foundational principles of art and style that will turn you into a proper artist, not just a tutorial copy machine. I help you build the muscle memory and technique necessary to see real results and also how to develop your eye and style as an artist as well!
