Both! The curriculum is delivered to you on a set schedule every week along with the relevant assignments. You post the assignments in the Facebook group along with any art updates. Our community is supportive and engaging. After the 8 weeks, you have lifetime access to the materials and videos, including future coaching call replays.

The curriculum is designed to meet all painting abilities. From complete beginners, to Master Degree artists, we guide you toward innovative approaches on color, composition, and technique to develop your voice. There’s no fluff here—only actionable, valuable information on how to paint for a lifetime.

I recommend you spend a minimum of 2-3 hours per week. This gives you plenty of time to complete assignments and attend coaching calls. The videos are short and to the point so you’ll have plenty of time to paint after the assignments too. Within a few weeks, you’ll be overflowing with ideas and inspiration while painting way more quickly and prolifically!

Nope! Show up as you are, and start with whatever you have. Give yourself a few weeks to adjust to the homework before adding new supplies. As long as you have paints, brushes, and a surface to paint on, you’re all set!

First, hi boss-lady! We have many students that are moms and work full-time. Our artists find that our program structure gives them the exact accountability and support they need to carve out painting time. It is totally doable to take our program on a busy schedule. And if you need the extra support or encouragement, we are with you every step of the way!

Better Than Art School™ was birthed out of my studio as a self-taught artist. I specialize in expressionist paintings that can be expressed in figures, landscapes, florals, and yes, abstract. This curriculum is the result of selling thousands of dollars worth of art paired with the knowledge I cultivated, which was NOT taught in art school. I’ve coached hundreds of artists over the past few years and I also sell my work full-time, work on commissions, and take on licensing projects. I know what it takes to run an art business and have been a supportive voice in the art community for the past 6 years. But rather than trusting me, trust yourself. You can do this and so much more!
