Want to loosen up in your art?

If you’ve been wanting to paint, but feel like you don’t have a lot of time, I’ve put together my Watercolor Joy Mini Course, which has six instant-access projects.

Learn the techniques and supplies I use to develop my style and paint your own whimsical characters.

YOU GET:

• A step by step template for creating any whimsical character
• Six instant-access painting projects you can do with just a few supplies
• My secret for overcoming creative blocks and getting past the ugly stage

These are the techniques and art supplies I return to again and again because they work.

This online workshop is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to get creative and play.

ABOUT JULIETTE 

I’m Juliette Crane, the founder of The School of Happy Painting, a suite of online courses in fearless art and mess making that encourage thousands around the world to get creative and live their dreams.

With over 15 years experience as a working artist, I want to share what I’ve learned and what’s worked for me, in the hope that it’ll help you be more productive 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.

My hope is that in sharing my creative process, you feel more connected and supported as you create, and find more beauty and happiness in your every day.

I’ll see you in class!
