you love the idea of stepping aside from the chaos and craziness of your everyday to relax, breathe deeply, and give your creative side the attention it deserves.
BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
It looks like this:
• Having the confidence to pick up the right paintbrush and know what to do with it
• Sitting down to create and not being paralyzed by indecision
• Knowing how to mix your colors to get the hue you really want
• Having the basic knowledge in your back pocket to be able to paint what you really want to paint
Hi there! I'm Lucy Reiser Chapman.
I grew up in Georgia with a family full of artists. Both of my grandmothers were professional painters and showed me what it looked like to be a practicing artist.
After getting my Studio Art degree, I taught art to some super-talented (read: intimidating) high school students before diving head-first into what has become Lucy Reiser Fine Art.
Since then, I've been painting, consulting, and teaching people just like you how to tap into their creativity and bring more beauty into the world.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TAKE THE STUDIO SCHOOL COURSE?
The Studio School course has a few different payment options. You can purchase individual classes a la carte from $39 - $129, or you can bundle classes together for a better value.
CAN I SPLIT IT UP INTO SMALLER PAYMENTS?
You sure can. For class bundles I offer a payment plan that will help spread out your investment over a three month period.
WILL YOU TELL ME WHAT KIND OF PAINTS AND MATERIALS I NEED?
Of course! In each class I walk through every single step including which paints, colors, surfaces, and brushes/tools I use along the way. I also include a PDF with links to everything we use if you want to purchase anything for yourself.
CAN I BUY THE CLASSES INDIVIDUALLY IF I DON'T WANT THEM ALL?
Absolutely. Each class is sold individually so feel free to pick and choose, but, to be honest, the entire course bundle is a much better deal.
CAN I WORK THROUGH THIS COURSE WITH MY KID AS A KIND OF AT-HOME ART SCHOOL?
Totally! While this class is not meant to fit into any kind of school curriculum, and isn't a replacement for accredited art classes if that is what you need, it can certainly be a great way for you and your family to get creative together. I recommend sifting through the content first to see if it is an appropriate skill level for the age/grade of your child(ren).
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURSE?
Once you purchase Studio School, you will have lifetime access to all the content.
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
Due to the digital nature of Studio School and having immediate access to all the classes and downloads, the course is non-refundable.
