What Is The School of Happy Painting Membership?

 

The School of Happy Painting Membership is a monthly subscription that provides online access to seven of Juliette’s classes.

Each class is thoughtfully designed to build seamlessly upon the previous one, starting with the foundational Serendipity 1 - Develop Your Style. From there, you have the option to explore Serendipity 2 - Loosen Up & Let Go, perfect for adding more creative freedom and flow to your style, or delve into painting eyes and faces.

You’ll paint watercolor portraits, whimsical animals, women with flower crowns, and so much more! There are paintings you can do in just a few minutes or totally dive in with layered mixed media paintings on canvas and two big paintings from start to finish.

The classes will motivate and inspire you, guiding you to love the creative process, connect more deeply with your style, and find joy as an artist. 

If you're feeling uninspired, stuck, or searching for new techniques and variety, the Membership is here to guide you. Everything is prerecorded and accessible anytime, so you can do it all on your schedule. You're never behind, and there’s always plenty of time.

How does it Work?

 

Whether you want to dip your toes in for a month or deep-dive for a year, The School of Happy Painting Membership includes seven online classes, lessons you can complete in under 10 minutes, along with in-depth mixed media paintings, loosening up exercises, over 200 class videos, and much more.

Each course offers different videos and content, carefully designed to assist you on your creative journey. You will delve into different styles, overcome blocks, create fearlessly, and build a cohesive collection.

You'll have direct access to Juliette in our private Facebook group, where you can connect with other artists. This provides an encouraging, safe, supportive, and friendly space to share your in-progress or finished artwork, ask for feedback, or simply share and see what others are working on.

There are only a few basic supplies you need to get started. You can get more materials as you go or easily include what you already have and use in your creative practice. You’ll also receive a detailed supply list with brands, colors, and details within each class.

Members receive exclusive invitations to Juliette’s in-person classes and early access to new offerings.

What do students have to say?

“This course was the in depth instruction that I was really looking for to take some of the quick pieces I’d done and really develop them further. Watching Juliette work through a piece until she really felt the character develop was so helpful. Knowing that I wasn’t making any mistakes and that if something wasn’t working just changing my tool or supply could get me right through that tough spot was so useful. I really found that after this course I was able to not let negative self talk that was holding me back so often with my art get me down. Juliette is so relatable that I felt she’s been there and felt that too and she had solutions that really worked.” - Abi Bell

“The best thing about this course is that I can share it with my 5 children. I am a homeschooler, and my 3 girls & son cannot wait for our weekly “art classes” with Juliette.” – Tasha Miller

“I’m having so much fun with Juliette and her Joy Of Painting class. Playing with new materials and exploring different styles and techniques is such a nice way to switch things up when I need a little creative boost.” -Steph Joy Hogan

“This class changed my art life forever! One of the best classes I have ever taken. Juliette is so clear and easy to follow along. I never thought I would be able to paint an owl, or any animal. Now I just paint them easily! I am forever grateful to this class!” -Angelica Escalera

“So many videos and Juliette’s helpful commentary and guidance through the whole process. It really helped me loosen up while experimenting with many different media and techniques. Other classes I’ve taken just speed edit through the most important parts, while Juliette takes the time to explain what motivates her artistic process. That, for me, is the value of a class.” -Isabelle Lafrance

“Your instruction is not just an instruction on how to paint pretty pictures but it’s for creative process. It helped me in facing my fear of I'm-gonna-mess-this-up or I'm-not-a-good-artist. I really love that you guided me through openness so I can let what wants to appear, appear. So grateful” -Zoi Fuji

“I love your forgiving approach and so appreciate your personal thoughts, especially tips for working through the creative ruts and dry spells we all encounter from time to time.” -Kim Lacefield

“Juliette shares every step of her creative process in an honest way. The videos are worth watching over and over. I am inspired to try so many new things!” -Mo Brady

“Juliette, you gave me more inspiration and courage than you will ever know — I enjoy your easy going nature and that you show us your frustrations and how you make what you consider ugly characters into wonderful ones.” -Joanne Summy

“Thank you for teaching me to let go… splash paint… enjoy… and discover the joy of serendipitous moments.” – Sandy Leamon Derryberry

About Juliette 

I’m Juliette Crane, the founder of The School of Happy Painting, online courses to help you loosen up, develop your own unique style, and connect to your heart through creativity.

Painting has always been a healing process for me. With over 15 years experience as a professional artist, I want to share what I’ve learned and what’s worked for me, in the hope that it’ll help you be loose in your art and develop your own style faster.

Art was the thing I loved to do growing up and in high school. But when I graduated college, I felt like my creativity didn’t matter. I stopped painting for more than ten years. I went to work as an editorial assistant at a newspaper, occasionally writing a music review or gallery feature.

It took SO many different jobs as a photographer, gallery assistant, floral designer and more before I finally realized the only thing I could put my heart into was being a full-time artist.

I’ll see you in the membership!
