Make work that feels like you.
A 12-week program to help you return to your honest art. A full year of support.
This is for artists who’ve done it the right way &
still stand in front of the work thinking, this isn’t me.
This is for you if…
you’re returning to your art after a full life. Family, work, responsibility, everything that pulls you away. And you want your voice (back) in the work.
your work looks competent, but something feels missing
you often stop at “fine” because you don’t want to ruin it
you want work that carries presence—not just correctness
you want guidance that helps you return to yourself, not copy someone else
This is not for you if…
you want a step-by-step demo to replicate my paintings
you’re looking for quick tricks or a formula
you’re not willing to be honest with what you actually want in the work
When your work goes polite
Polite work is tricky because it can look good.
Competent. Balanced. Even beautiful.
And still feel quiet.
It usually shows up in one moment:
I don’t want to ruin it.
So you soften the color.
You correct the mark.
You make the safe choice.
And over time, your voice doesn’t disappear.
It gets covered.
Not because you’re lacking.
Because you’re protecting.
Sometimes it isn’t perfectionism.
It’s disconnection.
You’ve lived a lot of life.
And when you return, you don’t know what you like anymore.
You don’t need more rules.
You need a way to return to yourself.
“I noticed myself becoming careful when I want to make a mark and don’t, thinking it’s too big”
— Maura
“The two paintings I’ve done over the past weeks—actually three—I love more than anything I’ve done the past two years.”
— Marian
“I got caught for hours and forgot time… until I dropped off any care.”
— Esther
“Loosening my attachment to the end result made a huge difference.”
— Megan
A note from me
I work with painters who are serious about their craft—and who are ready for work that feels more alive, more honest, and more theirs.
Over and over, I’ve seen the same pattern: the work becomes polite. Not because the artist lacks skill, but because they’re trying not to ruin it. Trying to keep it safe. Trying to make it “good.”
After returning to painting myself, and teaching art for over 25 years, this is what I care about: helping you uncover what’s already there—so you stop performing and start making work you recognize as yours.
— Maurille
Why nobody taught you this
Most painting education rewards what looks correct.
It teaches you how to avoid mistakes, how to solve problems neatly, how to make work that fits a standard. And then, without meaning to, you end up making work that looks like theirs.
But it often doesn’t teach you what to do when the work goes quiet—when you can feel there’s something true underneath, and you don’t know how to let it through.
That’s not your failure. It’s a gap in the way art is usually taught.
The Artist’s Method is designed to fill that gap—with a repeatable way to return to presence, again and again.
To deepen your practice your way.
“I thought I was stuck, but all I needed to do was return to myself.
I had been dancing around this for a long, long time.
It wasn’t easy, but everything shifted.
Thank you so much. I just didn’t know.”
— Erica
The Artist’s Method is different
— that’s why it works.
It’s not more rules or formulas. It’s a way to get back to yourself in the work—so your technique supports your voice instead of covering it.
“The two paintings I’ve done over the past weeks—actually three—I love more than anything I’ve done the past two years.”
— Marian
The missing piece is this: you don’t need a new style or more rules.
You need a way to uncover what’s already yours—so your technique supports your voice instead of covering it.
That’s what this method is built for
“I noticed myself becoming careful when it was time to choose a color palette. I was hesitant about whether my personal palette looked good or ‘correct.’ Reminding myself this was more about exploring than creating a finished product helped me return. Loosening my attachment to the end result made a huge difference.”
— Megan
The Artist’s Method
Most painting advice is linear: step one, step two, step three. Like a formula.
But real studio work isn’t like that.
In The Artist’s Method, you return through three anchors in a circle:
Markmaking → Color → You → back to Markmaking
You don’t need more courses. You need one method you can live inside.
Markmaking, color, and you—so you can make work that’s both skilled and unmistakably yours.
A painting doesn’t come alive because you “feel good” first
It comes alive when you stop protecting it and bring something real into it.
One honest decision.
One risk.
One mark you don’t soften.
Presence isn’t a mood. It’s a choice.
That’s why we return to markmaking, color, and you.
Most painting education teaches correctness as if that’s what makes art.
It isn’t.
The best work is made from a strong voice.
And voice is found by working.
By listening.
By returning.
That’s what I want for you.
Because when you find it, you feel it.
And you know.
What we’re really doing here
This isn’t about painting for an invisible audience.
It’s not about longing for validation—from a teacher, from a course, from “success,” from a gallery, from being chosen.
Because that’s how polite work is made.
This is about returning to joy instead of stress.
Returning to truth and presence.
Returning to the freedom to play without apologizing.
So you can stand beside what you made and say:
Yes. This is mine.
That’s the art that lasts.
And the art that moves others.
This is the structure.
What it's for, is you.
What is The Artist’s Method
The Artist’s Method is a 12-week live program and a full year of support for artists who want to make work that feels like them.
Real and honest.
You’ll move through 12 modules released week by week, with a weekly live review + Q&A on Zoom (Wednesdays 19:00 CET — 90 minutes) and replays are included—so when you reach the moment you think, “I don’t want to ruin it,” you can see the next true move and keep going.
How it works
Each week a new module is released for you to watch on your own time.
We meet live on Zoom every Wednesday at 19:00 CET for a 90‑minute review + Q&A (replay included)
Between sessions, you use the workbooks + prompts to keep the work moving in your studio
You can use the 20+ foundation videos whenever you need support (mark making, technique, and more)
Watch the Masterclasses by guest artists to get in depth information straight from their studio.
You’re supported by the community space as you work
After the 12 weeks, you’ll receive 8 monthly coaching sessions starting in February (we’ll skip January).
You’ll be able to watch recordings of Artists’ Conversations about creative blocks, returning to your creative live and more.
“You don’t have to keep up perfectly—just keep returning.
What you get
The 12-week practice: modules + weekly live Zoom review/Q&A + workbooks
Ongoing support: community + foundation library
Go deeper: 2 guest masterclasses + Artist Conversations (recorded)
Continuation: 8 monthly coaching sessions (Feb–Sept)
12 Modules
incl weekly reviews and Q&A

“I absorbed by osmosis and I would say the two paintings that I’ve done over the past weeks—actually three—I love more than anything I’ve done the past two years.
Previously I was painting barns and doors and windows and rooms in an interesting visual style—competent, but not particularly interesting.
I like my recent ones because as I progressed, I now own my mark that I didn’t even know I had. In fact, it never occurred to me that a mark that was mine was hidden and was always there—covered up by life’s circumstances.
Again, thank you so much for everything. In a short time things have changed.”
— Marian
You don’t need more pressure.
You need a structure that keeps you close to the work.
“I missed the first live session, so between week one and two I watched the recording and worked on the prompts… This helped me return to a more open and creative frame of mind.”
— Megan
“This large painting had bold marks but a quiet palette—and the response to it was quiet too. So I started to think: maybe I need to fill it in with bright color. And I realized that would have been decoration. I have to admit I was seeking the ‘likes.’”
— Marian
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Wed Sept 23, 2026 at 19.00 CET.
The 12 Weekly live sessions are Wednesdays 19:00 CET.
From February on the sessions are monthly (first Wednesday and start at 19.00

-
If you’re thinking: “I want this, but my life is full,” you’re in the right place.
This program is designed for real lives—not perfect weeks.
Most artists spend about 2–3 hours a week on the work (more if you want to, less in busy weeks).
You’ll get a new module each week, but you can move through it at your pace
If you miss a live session, the replay is there.
You don’t “fail” by missing a week—you simply return
The method is a circle, not a checklist: you can re-enter at any point
-
If you often stop because you think, “I don’t know if I can do this,” that is where we begin.
That moment is exactly where paintings tend to go polite: you soften the color, you tidy the mark, you choose what’s safe—because you don’t want to make it worse.
But here’s the shift we practice:
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You need a way to make one honest decision—and to keep going from there.In the weekly live review + Q&A, we look at your work and find the next true move: not ten changes, not overwhelm—just the step that brings presence back into the painting.
This is how you stop protecting the work and start letting it become yours.
-
You don’t need to paint in a specific style to do this work.
The Artist’s Method isn’t about learning a style. It’s about learning how to return to presence in your work—how you make decisions, how you handle color, how you use marks, how you balance a painting, and how the story of the work becomes clear. So your voice can show up in the work you already make.
This is for artists working in any medium (oil, acrylic, mixed media, and more) and across styles—abstract, figurative, landscape, still life, interiors.
If your work looks “good” but feels quiet, you’re in the right place.
-
You don’t need to be good at tech to do this.
The live review and Q&A sessions happen on Zoom. You’ll receive a simple link. If you can click a link, you can attend.
If you can’t make it live, replays are included, so you can watch in your own time.
And if you ever get stuck, you’ll have clear instructions inside the program space so you always know where to go next. And support is just one email away. -
Each week we meet live for a 90-minute live Review + Q&A.
“This is not a teaching lecture. It’s a working session focused on one thing. What is the next step.”
You can bring a piece that feels stuck, careful, or unfinished, and we’ll look at it together. The goal isn’t to fix you or force a style. It’s to help you see:
where the work goes polite
what the painting is asking for next
the one honest move that brings presence back.
It’s about the conversation we have about the work.
You’ll leave with clarity you can take straight into the studio.
Replays are included.
You choose what you share. Feedback is volunteered. -
What if spending this on myself feels hard?
It often does.
Not because you don’t want the work.
Because you’ve trained yourself to be sensible first.If you keep waiting until it feels completely comfortable, you’ll keep postponing the return.
This is a way to take your work seriously again.
Without turning it into a performance.

Why this is worth it
This program is designed to give you the depth of an art‑school experience, without the financial burden of formal school.
Not by adding more rules. By giving you a method you can return to, week after week, until your work starts to feel like you again. By adding clarity so you will always know what the next step is.
Enrollment closes Fri Sept 18 at midnight (23:59 CET).
If nothing changes
It’s rarely dramatic. It’s quiet.
Weeks pass. Then months.
You keep making work that’s fine.
You keep stopping before it becomes yours.
You keep waiting for the day you’ll feel ready, or brave enough, or sure it won’t go wrong.
And the cost isn’t only the paintings you don’t finish.
The cost is not honoring your true expression, when it’s already there, asking to be made.
“I have been waiting for this for a long long time… I need to see this little scribble soo big, so huge, not to decorate the wall, but just to honor my feelings.”
— Lisa
How would it feel …
…to walk into the studio and not negotiate with yourself?
To stop walking away, right at the moment you think: “I don’t want to ruin it.”
To make one honest decision, then another, until the work starts to feel like you again.
To trust your color choices.
To let a mark stay because it’s alive, even if it isn’t perfect.
To look at the painting and recognize yourself in it.
Your voice isn’t missing. It’s been covered.
And it can return.
This is what we’re here for…
Have you ever fallen in love with a color?
Danced after you made a mark so honest it made you jump for joy?
Looked at your painting and thought, yes. Yes. This is me!
If you want more of that in your work, The Artist’s Method is open now.
Ready to join?
Enrollment for The Artist’s Method closes Friday, Sept 18 at 23:59 CET.
If you feel that “something is missing” feeling, and you’re ready to stop painting politely, seeking approval from others and start making work that feels like you again, this is your moment.
