The Studio Circle 

is a monthly membership for painters who know the basics but keep losing momentum. Paint regularly, loosen up, and finally finish paintings you're proud of, with structure, feedback and a warm community beside you.

Does this sound like you?

You've taken the classes. You've watched the demos, bought the books, and done a workshop or two (or ten). You kind of know what composition and values are.

And yet...

  • You start paintings and never quite finish them
  • You block in your shapes, then don't know what to do next
  • You overwork everything until it turns to mud, or lose it in the final touches
  • Your paintings come out tighter and more photo-like than you want
  • You know some or all of the theory, but it doesn't make it onto the canvas
  • Weeks go by without picking up a brush, and every time you come back it feels like starting over
  • You have no one around who really gets it to share your work with

You're not a beginner. You don't need another course. You need to paint and gain momentum.

Why another course hasn't fixed it

Most painting classes give you a burst of inspiration, and then they end. You you learnt  is slowly but surely forgotten as there's nothing to keep you practising, no one to give you feedback, and no one who notices when you stop showing up.

That's not a lack of talent. It's a lack of structure and support.

The Studio Circle is designed for what comes after the class: steady practice, honest and kind feedback, and a community that keeps you painting.

What's Inside?  

In The Studio Circle, you’ll receive

  • 🎨 A monthly lesson or set of lessons with demos to inspire and challenge you. These are focused on principles of art applicable to all mediums. We cover topics like painting shapes and not things, colour theory, value studies, planning your painting,  and so much more!  All done in a friendly manner that will help you improve your art no matter what level you're at as we can always go deeper and refine our skills.  

  • 💬 A monthly Paint Party aka Live Q&A Zoom Call where you can ask questions, get feedback, and stay motivated

  • 💡Weekly Prompts, Photo Inspiration and Monthly Challenges so you always know what to paint!

  • 📺Recordings available so you can watch again. On your own time, as often as you like.

    Access to all past content in the Studio Circle. Start anywhere and fill your gaps.

  • 🤝 A Warm Community. Share your work, ask questions, and cheer each other on.

  • 🎯Gentle accountability. Enough structure to keep you showing up.

Your Creative Home to Keep Moving Forward


Whether you're working in oils, acrylics, watercolors, or something in between.
This is your space to keep growing, without pressure.

Imagine six months from now…


💫 You're painting every week, not just when inspiration strikes

💫 You know how to plan and start a painting, and what to do in the different stages of a painting

💫 Understanding how materials work

💫Your colours stay fresh and your values read clearly

💫 You know when to stop, before it turns to mud

💫Your brushwork is looser and more confident

💫 You have a stack of finished paintings you're proud to hang, gift, show or sell

💫 You are daring to call yourself an artist, and you believe it

Is the Studio Circle right for you?

It's a great fit if you:

  • Have taken some classes or workshops and know the basics

  • Paint in oils, acrylics, watercolour, gouache, or a mix

  • Want to paint more consistently and keep growing your skills

  • Want feedback, ongoing support  and community, without pressure

  • Are returning to painting after a break and want to rebuild your practice

  • The art you occasionally create leaves you feeling disappointed and embarrassed.

  • You want to continue adding skills to your tool box.

  • You scroll through social media, seeing other artists flourish, while you're stuck feeling guilty you don't paint often enough.

  • You don’t even know where to begin to be "a better painter"!
