Access curated creativity and make gorgeous art without the overwhelm.
Great paintings don’t require talent. Painting is a skill set that I can teach you, starting today. Save years of struggle and join me to learn everything you need to create joyful art that you’ll be proud of. Leap toward the creativity you’ve always desired.
Leap of Art is currently closed to new members, but will re-open again in June. To join the waitlist, add your name to my Studio Insiders group and I”ll be sure to let you know as soon as the doors open again.
Benefits from your creative practice…
As a bonus, you’ll give yourself the gift of better mental health, stronger resiliency, and learn how to make your own meaning in the process. It all happens while you access that flow state of mind that feels effortless and fun.
Paint your own heirlooms
Have you ever wanted to make gorgeous art for your own space? I know that feeling! Join me and I’ll teach you how to make art that you can feel proud to showcase, gift to loved ones and use to make an impact in your community. There’s magic in the making.
I’ve taught over a thousand art students, from public schools to the yacht club and ages 5 to 95. As a teacher and professional artist with over 25 years of experience, I can show you how to make gorgeous, fulfilling art too. Plus, we have a blast! No talent required. Promise. ~ Katie
What is Included?
Monthly Art Skill Building
Each month, I’ll teach you skills and techniques to improve your creative abilities. I’ll demo paintings in real time and help you go step-by-step so you can create gorgeous art right from the first month. These will be video based and accessible anytime, anywhere. You can slow them down, rewind and watch them as many times as you like. Art lessons include watercolor, gouache and oil paint, but any painting medium would work with my lessons, including acrylic or mixed media. You get to decide how to apply the lesson to your artistic practice each month.
Coaching Calls and Creative Inspiration
Each month we meet via Zoom for a Q&A and to talk about the monthly art topic. You can choose to share your work and get feedback, ask any art questions you have, or sit back and take it all in by listening at your convenience. We also have periodic bonus guest speakers to inspire you on a variety of topics. These calls will also be recorded and available anytime for folks who can’t make the live calls. Upcoming speakers include an artist who makes her own watercolor paints and an oil painter who specializes in small detailed paintings and sourcing beautiful antique frames. I also hope to have a palette knife artist and an art therapist join us soon!
Friendship and Community
The group includes access to our kind, uplifting community where you can reach out to other creatives, make friends and get personal feedback for your art. We currently post and interact in a private Facebook group. My long-term goal is to build a group of artists that would like to travel together for art workshops as we progress with my pipe dream as Europe and beyond! (am I right?!) However, I’d also love to take a small group to the coast or the mountains for a fun painting workshop and a bit of rest, relaxation, culture and good food indulgence in the near future. Last year we met at a boutique flower farm in N.C. for a delightful meet and greet. Members of Leap of Art will have first access to any travel registrations.
The details
Pricing
The membership is currently open for $33 a month. You can lock in the current monthly price for as long as you’d like to stay. You may cancel at any time before the next automatic monthly payment and you will not be charged again. If you would like to re-join the group at a later date, you must re-join at the current price, which may likely be higher than the current pricing.
Community
After you join, you have immediate access to a vault of fantastic art lessons, previous coaching calls, bonus sessions with guest artists and a tool that helps reduce overwhelm to maximize your progress. Each month, we meet on Zoom for real-time feedback and help, and you are always welcome to share and post in our private community group. My only ask is that members are kind and supportive at all times in our community and that they offer feedback that is helpful, respectful and well intentioned. Members exhibiting unkind and unprofessional behavior in the group may be removed without refund.
Input
As a Leap of Art member, you will have great influence over the direction this group takes. Katie is excited to learn what you would like her to teach and what kind of bonus speakers you’d like to meet. Art therapists, interior designers, floral designers, other artists, potters and authors are all future possibilities.
