Tell Me More >It’s time to prioritize your art.
You know what it feels like: that free-flow creative space where you get out of your head and into your art. Where time slips away and creating becomes everything.
But life happens → You’re busy and there are so many other things that need to be done.
01.
You love to paint but the vision in your head feels impossible to transfer onto your canvas.
02.
The idea of taking your art more seriously feels exciting, but unless you’re going to make money with it, isn’t it a waste of time?
03.
You’ve taken classes before which have been great, but when you go to free-flow, nothing comes out right.
04.
You want to prioritize your passion but there are so many other things that seem to be more important.
05.
You want your creations to be beautiful and inspiring – something you can be proud to know is yours.
06.
You dream of sharing your visions with the world in a way that actually feels like you.
07.
You know your art is important, and you want permission to prioritize it.
08.
Your art feels too important to just be “a fun hobby” but you don’t think you have the talent to really make art that is impactful.
What if you have the right to take it seriously – whether it’s for profit or simply for your soul?
What if the art in you actually needs to be released – that your desire necessitates its creation?
What if that need NEEDS to be shared – because its purpose is to change the world, even if only one person at a time?
You’ve already got the passion.
With Bold School, you’ll learn the science behind the magic!
(because you don’t need to be born with talent to create beauty)
The secret to art isn’t really a secret. Learn the exact methods founder Charla Maarschalk uses to create bold colour art you’ll fall in love with.
