"I have been given the keys to originality! So much I did not know about color theory is now making sense to me. I am ready to paint paint paint! So Good!"
-Charlotte Champlin

You've Already Got the Passion

now it's time to learn the techniques

 ↓

  • When I introduce abstract color, my paintings turn into a hot mess.
  • I'm embarrassed that my paintings don't stand out from the rest.
  • When I bring in a bunch of color, I feel like I lose control of the painting.
  • The work on the canvas isn’t aligned with the vision I have in my head.
  • I want to paint beautiful faces that look real.
  • I want to learn more than just skill & technique, I want my art to tell a story.
  • I want to mix my color and make art that makes you feel something.
  • I want to paint like Charla.

 You know the feeling.

You’re spreading paint around trying to make the perfect tone and suddenly your palette looks like a pile of mud. 

You want to know a secret? 

There is a science behind the magic.
You don’t need to be born with talent to create beautiful, realistic, bold, colorful art. There are clear-cut methods and techniques that will allow you to improve your skills and transform your art.

And we’re here to show you how.
