The Artist Thinkup™

What's a "thinkup?" It's another word for mastermind, conceive, concoct, dream up, cogitate.

Great words if you're looking to build an art practice.

Are you looking to incorporate art making into your busy life? Having trouble finding the time and/or space to make art?

You've come to the right place! It's tough to find time to create art. I know this firsthand. I have a busy teaching and speaking schedule, lots of family stuff and oh yeah, run to the gym once in awhile! Where am I going to find time to actually paint?

Project 1 - Draw!

Project 1 - Draw!

The Artist Thinkup™ will introduce you to the concept of creating an art practice in bite sized chunks and incorporate art into your everyday life in a manageable, efficient way. It's the exact way I work; in chunks here and there.

Every project is broken down into pieces that you can fit into 20 or 30 minutes, every day, every other day or once a week.

Wherever you are in your art journey, the tools and techniques in this program will add valuable material to your art toolbox. Here's what’s inside.

  • Over eight hours of video!

  • Six projects with training videos and worksheets available 24/7 from any device.

  • Imagine getting your art material questions answered before you spend the money! 

  • Can I do that? Get your technical questions answered by a bona fide acrylics expert. Imagine the hours of frustration you will save by being able to ask an expert those tough technical questions. Go on! Try to stump me!
