Join me for a fun Zoom workshop - Color Inspired!

This session is all about color—intuitive, expressive, playful. I’ll share pages from my sketchbooks, talk about how I gather inspiration, and walk you through a full mixed-media painting, step by step. You’ll get to see my process in real time, from that first uncertain mark to the final touches.

I’ll be working with a black water-soluble pencil, watercolors, and high-flow acrylics, but please feel free to use whatever supplies you love. 

📜 A link to the replay along with my full art supply list, simple shape template, and inspiration images will be sent via email once you've registered.

It always starts the same way: I open my sketchbook, brush in hand, with no plan and no expectations. Just movement. A scribble, a swirl, a meandering line. And then, something shifts. The noise fades, space opens up, and for a moment, I can hear myself again.

This is why we make things. Not for the end result, not because we have it all figured out, but because the act itself is enough. It reminds us who we are.

I’ll share the full process—including trial and error—so you can see how a piece evolves.

Let’s make something beautiful together.

Happy painting!

WHAT DO STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY?

“Juliette was wonderful at answering my questions right away. She gave me great tips for the times when I was feeling stuck, to move forward.” - Christy Nimehy

“I have a long way to go until I am working as completely from my soul as Juliette works, but I am finally on that path.” - Tana Lopez Younger

"My tendency used to be to rip out the page and wad it up. Because of you, I am learning to not be so harsh on myself… to just keep building layers and see what emerges!" -JaneAnn Harper

"Juliette does a great job of breaking down the elements so anyone can follow and create art they can be proud of. Once I saw the creative process broken down and how it morphs or changes I felt much more at ease." -Julie Brastad

“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

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 on your creative journey.

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.
