Do any of these sound like you?

• I like the idea of being creative, but have no idea where to start

• I want a comfortable, judgement-free space to develop my skills

• I've though about taking an art class but feel intimidated and/or unqualified

• I love to create but get nervous that I'm not doing it "right"

• I don't quite know how to make something specific

• I wish I could paint but I don't see myself as "creative"

• I want to paint more but I need some guidance

• I can picture what looks good in my mind, but it doesn't come out on paper the way I want it to

If you said "yes" to any of those, You're not alone...

Studio School

The comprehensive online art course teaching you everything you need to know to step into the studio with confidence

I am an artist that has taken several random classes and experimented a lot, but never went to art school, and wondered what I was missing.

Lucy's Studio School changed all that. The classes are engaging (I stayed up til 2am because I wanted to keep going), and I feel like I just got all the best take-aways of art school without the years of attendance, money and endless homework assignments and grades.

This is absolutely the best art course I have ever taken! Lucy's teaching style is excellent. No detail is missed in making sure the students know exactly what materials you are using from moment to moment. Thank you for offering this opportunity to learn to paint.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced artist, I highly recommend Lucy's Studio School!

I have been so discouraged from landscape painting because many instructors present it as a technical and daunting process. Lucy made it really easy to learn. Thank you!

FAQ:

WHEN IS IT OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT?
Studio School is open to join year round!

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.
