A 7-week course for hobby painters, starting late September 2026 — and a FREE gift while you wait.
JOIN THE WAITLIST→Hi there!
I'm Kathleen
I'm up to something. I want to tell you what I'm doing and why.
Right now I'm planning for my 7-week course for hobby painters called Essential Elements, starting late September 2026.
You may have heard of it — I created it during COVID, and over 100 artists (check out the what students have to say about it here.) have gone through it since.
I recently sat down to watch the whole thing again, thinking I'd need to update it. Turns out, no. It's pretty darn good. So I wanted to tell you about it now, so you can save the date.
Why offer it again?
It’s time to share what I’ve learned with more of you.
Over the last two years, I've heard similar comments from loads of artists and aspiring artists: you're itching to learn
🎨 To paint consistently good paintings with joy.
🎨 To know why you're making each stroke.
🎨 To know how to start, how to know what to do next, and how to actually paint the vision you have in your head.
🎨 To discover what master painters have known for hundreds of years but isn't taught much today.
Here's the bottom line:
Learning to use the 7 elements of art as a painting guide is the simplest way I know to build a repeatable thought process for every painting.
It's how I think through every painting I make, and I'll take you through it all in 7 weeks.

An audio version of my book, The Artist's Virtues, read by me.
Fair warning: I embellish a little, with a few stories that aren't in the book. My hope is that you'll find yourself somewhere in there, and know what you need to keep moving along your own artist's path.
Enjoy the book, and I'll see you in September.
