Why this Membership?
Show Up, Stay Inspired, and Paint Better—Every Week
Most painters aren’t lacking information—they’re lacking structure, momentum, and a sense of shared purpose.
This membership gives you a rhythm.
A place to return each week to reconnect with your work.
And most importantly—a community of painters who are showing up alongside you.
It’s not just about learning more.
It’s about feeling like you are part of something.
And finding the energy and inspiration that only comes from being around others who are doing the work too.
You Don’t Just Want More Information. You Want a Routine and Friends to Share Your Painting Journey With.
Welcome to Kitsch Town
-
Structured Practice
One live demo or Q&A per week—so you stay focused and inspired.
-
A Community Who Cares About Timeless Painting
Painters who care about skill and beauty, not trends.
-
Content That Builds Skill
All rooted in classical techniques: structure, brushwork, edges, values.
What My Students Say
"Two days in studying your lessons and I’m already improving and understanding so much."
-Demetrius
Serein
"My work has improved significantly thanks to Nic's comprehensive mentorship. It doesn't matter what level you're at in your painting; the beginner, intermediate, and professional all have a place here. I would recommend learning with Nic to anyone."
Liliana
"I would like to just say thank you for being so generous with your classes. You are an amazing teacher. Calm and patient! Thanks again!"
Erik
“Nic is incredibly insightful and motivating. I'm so glad I decided to learn with him — best money I ever spent. Don’t wait another moment, just join him. You won’t regret it.”
"The lessons are clear, practical, and packed with techniques that I can apply immediately to my own work. I’ve gained confidence with colour mixing, brushwork and layering techniques. I can already see a huge improvement in my painting after only a short period of time."
-John
