THE PAINTER'S MASTERCLASS
Color and Composition Bootcamp 

provides clear guides, strategy, and support so that you can begin to create paintings that help you to show and sell your work.

If you're like most painters I've had the pleasure of working with, chances are you'd love nothing better than to share more of your genius with the world. 

the problem is...

You have brilliant ideas and great taste, but once you get to the middle stage of the painting, your confidence takes a dives. You tell yourself it's better to start over and you justify abandoning another painting. The idea get's left behind and you judge yourself for waisting time and materials.

You feel overwhelmed by the technical aspect of drawing, design, color mixing, brushwork and style.

You're stuck in a perfectionism loop. Your high expectations keep you studying and watching what others create, rather than experimenting, and finding the joy in your own work.

You're trying to change your style or paint a new genre but when the work doesn't meet your expectations, you become blocked. You don't want to spend the time creating another failed painting so you avoid the studio like the plague. 

You're signed up for so many free art courses, each of these shiny objects beckons, distracting you from doing the truly essential first work of building essential skill and having a solid plan to move forward.
