"I am loving the course. Everything is beautifully presented, from the kit, the web site, the course materials and each module is explained in great detail so that anyone can easily attempt it and enjoy success. Also the Student Community group provide support and encouragement. I'm now 76 and I only wish I’d started this journey earlier as I feel so empowered."

What I love most about this course, is the fact that you submit assignments and get real feedback. In every other thing I’ve tried to stick to, I’ve thought, “Oh I really should find time to do some art”, but then days run into weeks and I never actually get anything done. So in this course, I’ve been giving myself weekly deadlines and submitting on a Sunday and this really helps my progression. In the feedback, you can tell that you’ve really looked at what I’ve produced, and I look forward to my emails each week. Thank you for such a well run course, I’m so excited to keep learning, it’s given me new inspirations and I don’t ever want it to end.

INTRODUCING PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION PAINTING

Folk Art Painting (or Tole Painting) has been around for centuries, and traditionally known as the art of the “untrained artist.” It was created by everyday people using simple, cheerful designs to brighten their homes.

That’s the idea behind Progress Not Perfection.

A Folk Art Painting Masterclass that teaches progress over perfection—because perfection is what holds us back.

It’s simple, relaxing,and completely doable for anyone.

Everything You Need!

Folk Art painting is easy when you have the right supplies.

After 30+ years of teaching, we know you might already have paints and brushes, but using the exact tools we use, along with the step-by-step color workbook and templates, makes all the difference.

That’s why we include everything in one beautiful art kit, shipped free worldwide and already covered in your course price.

Just open the box, log in, and start painting - no stress, no extra shopping, no guesswork.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Folk Art uses 'brushstrokes' it's like learning to paint the same step-by-step way you learnt to write.

One Brushstroke (letter)
One Flower (word)
One design (sentence)

With every brushstroke, flower and design, you'll experience how this type of painting
nurtures YOUR creativity and creates calm..

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at painting and you want to learn at your own pace with amazing support from the tutors and the You Can Folk It community, this is the course for you, it is worth every single penny of the course fees and I’m so glad I took the plunge and gave it a try, I love the course and the fact that it gives me some time just for myself.

Donna B. UK

The set itself looks like a very nicely presented but small painting kit - but don't let this fool you. The kit itself is just a small part of what you get. The really good stuff are the two tutors, Carol and Toni; their online tutorials and personal feedback, and the Facebook community. I feel as if I'm getting personal tuition, and I hadn't expected that

Rebecca B. UK

As with everything one buys online, often one just don’t know what you’re going to get. Well you don’t have to worry about this one and believe me, you won’t regret buying it! I am so enjoying this course. You get everything that you need sent to you so as soon as you receive your package you can start straight away. There are NO extra charges once you buy the course. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Clare B. UK

Absolutely brilliant. I am loving the course so far. Both Carol and Toni are fabulous teachers. I pondered for ages looking at the course wondering if I should join I finally decided to go for it and I am so glad I did. Just go for it , it's the best course I ever joined. Very friendly and helpful.

Helen G. UK

This is an extraordinary course! I decided to commit to learning how to paint this year and signed up for the course. The course was so fairly priced that honestly, I didn't expect nearly as much as I've received. The kit is complete with all the materials needed for the course. And the workbook is beautiful. I was not expecting feedback from the teachers (I've never taken an online course like this) I absolutely love this course and recommend it to anyone who might be thinking about it.
