Free Workshop: 8 Ways to Feel More Comfortable Making Art Outdoors
Ever felt like ‘plein air’ is something for the landscape oil painters with fancy pochade boxes and portable easels? Not sure how it would fit into your own art practice? Feeling uncomfortable about people asking questions or watching you at work?
This free workshop shows you how to set yourself up for a beautiful plein air experience, with less awkwardness, more confidence, and an approach that works for you and how you want to make your art.
Courses and Workshops
Make Cards from Your Art $9
You know that pile of paintings and drawings on paper you have stacked up in the corner, looking reproachfully at you?
This workshop will help you put them to good use, in the easiest, most fun and relaxing way possible. Not to mention you end up with a batch of cards of your original art at the end, to use for any occasion.
Painted Postcards $49
Have you been wanting to get off the ‘one painting at a time’ hamster wheel and try creating art in collections? This simple and doable workshop shows you how to put together your own collection of small original paintings, with very few supplies, to keep, give, or sell.
Artist Inspired II $247
What if there was a way to be inspired by other artists that went beyond copying, or even being ‘heavily influenced’ by them?
What if you could actually use what you learned from those artists to inform, develop, and strengthen your own unique art?
There is, and you can. This course takes you on a journey with a selection of artists {who also happen to be women}, showing you how to take your inspiration and run with it as you develop your own distinctive style.
Into Nature $247
Stuck between creative projects? Lost your mojo and missing the muse? Feeling a bit world weary?
Pack your art supplies and bring a thermos – we’re heading off on a restorative and inspiring artist’s adventure … Into Nature.
A course for low inspiration times, lost mojo times, between projects times – collaborate with the natural world to bring new life and fresh energy to your art.
Price: $247

Loosen Up $247
This is the course for when you find yourself defaulting to getting tighter and more realistic than you want to, and can’t seem to work out how to move away from old habits and more traditional painting approaches.
You CAN release the realism and make looser, more expressive, more abstract art. Loosen Up shows you how.
The Way of the Happy Artist $297
If you could be an artist in exactly the way you want, what would that look like? The Way of the Happy Artist is more than a course – it’s a foundational program that will show you how to uncover your unique voice and vision as an artist, bring it to life, and share it with the world, with confidence, and so much more clarity.

With joy. With support. And lots of experimenting.
"I want to say a huge thank you for creating this Happy Artist Studio. You’ve already helped me such a lot by moving me on and allowing me to develop and take a huge leap to create the kind of art I knew I wanted to, but just didn’t have the confidence to tackle. But now being able to access so much material at once feels like a genuine luxury. I’m so glad that I found you in amongst the myriad of art support out there."
