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.

  • Who is this workshop for?
    This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in classical painting, whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your skills. If you love the works of masters like Odd Nerdrum, Rembrandt, and Titian and want to learn how to create paintings like theirs, this workshop is for you.
  • What materials will I need?
    You don’t need any materials to get started with this workshop! I will provide you with all of the info you need to help you choose the best materials and create a studio space you love.
  • Do I need a large studio space to participate?
    Not at all! We'll teach you how to set up an efficient and inspiring studio space, no matter how big or small your area is. The workshop includes tips on optimizing your existing space to enhance your painting experience. I’m aware that most people have fairly small spaces so that will be specifically addressed in the workshop!
  • I'm a complete beginner. Will I be able to keep up?
    Absolutely! This workshop is designed to be accessible for beginners while still offering valuable insights for more experienced painters. The goal is to help you get the ideal studio setup and supplies.
  • Is there a refund policy?
    We believe in the value of this workshop, but we understand that it's important for you to feel confident in your investment. We offer a satisfaction guarantee, so you can enroll with peace of mind.
  • What if I can't attend all the live sessions?
    While attending live is the best way to get the most out of this workshop, we understand that life can get in the way. All sessions will be recorded, so you can catch up on anything you miss at your convenience.
  • How will this workshop help me improve my painting skills?
    Through step-by-step guidance on selecting and using high-quality materials, setting up your studio space, and overcoming mental blocks, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to elevate your classical painting skills. Our goal is to help you create paintings that you're proud of.
  • Can I purchase materials through the workshop?
    We will provide a list of recommended supplies and where you can purchase them. We focus on recommending materials that will truly make a difference in your work.
  • Is there support available after the workshop ends?
    Yes! Participants will have access to an online community where you can continue to share your progress, ask questions, and get feedback from peers and instructors.
  • Will there be opportunities for one-on-one feedback?
    Group feedback sessions are part of the workshop, where you'll receive personalized advice based on your needs. For more in-depth one-on-one feedback, please check our additional offerings post-workshop.
  • Aren’t high-quality painting materials too expensive for beginners?
    It’s true that high-quality materials can be more of an investment, but they also make learning easier and more enjoyable, leading to better outcomes with less frustration. We'll guide you on how to choose materials that offer the best balance between quality and cost, ensuring you invest wisely as you grow in your craft.
  • I've tried painting before and didn’t do well. How will this workshop be different?
    This workshop is structured to build your skills from the ground up, focusing on understanding materials and techniques that align with classical painting practices. With personalized guidance and a supportive learning environment, you’ll find yourself making progress you can be proud of.
  • Can’t I learn all this from free resources online?
    While there are many free resources available, they can be overwhelming and inconsistent. This workshop offers curated, comprehensive content tailored to classical painting, combining technical knowledge with practical application, all in one coherent program. Plus, the live sessions and community support provide value that's impossible to find elsewhere.
  • Will I really see improvement in my painting after just one workshop?
    Yes, the focused nature of this workshop on materials and workspace optimization is designed to provide noticeable improvements in your approach and execution of classical painting. Consistent practice and applying what you learn will continue to drive your progress even after the workshop ends.
  • What if I don’t have a dedicated studio space?
    A dedicated space is ideal, but not necessary to begin with. We'll show you how to create a functional and inspiring painting area within the space you have, ensuring that your environment supports your painting journey, no matter the size.
  • How much time will I need to dedicate outside of the workshop sessions?
    The workshop is designed to be comprehensive within its scheduled time. However, applying the concepts outside of sessions will be essential to enhance your learning experience. The practical application is flexible based on your schedule and pace.
