Progress NOT Perfection Painting

Would you love a calming, relaxing painting hobby?

Maybe you’ve already tried different styles of painting but just didn't quite 'get it' and ended up feeling more disappointed than relaxed and creative.

Or maybe someone told you that art wasn't your thing, so you've never even tried.

We hear that all the time.

But did you know there's a type of art that anyone can do?

Folk Art is a skill-based art, and with the right guidance, it's SO easy to learn.

That’s exactly what Progress NOT Perfection painting is about. 

Not only is Folk Art an easy way to learn to paint. We’ve made it simple and approachable, with step-by-step lessons inside our online classroom, a guided workbook to follow along with, all the art supplies you’ll need to get started and personal feedback on each lesson.

First Class Support

There is nothing more frustrating when you are learning something new and you have questions but nowhere to ask them! You NEED to know whether you're on the right track or why you’re just ‘not getting it’ Without this support, you are much more likely to give up. That's why me and my assistant Toni are always available via our private FB group, or via email. In addition as you complete each module we provide personal feedback and a certificate of completion when you've completed all 12 modules. 

An investment in YOU!

An investment in YOU!

Over 12 weeks, you’ll learn how to paint beautiful Folk Art designs and create projects you’ll feel genuinely proud of. 

We recommend you spend 2–3 hours a week, but it's completely flexible, and most students find themselves wanting to paint everyday!

There's no pressure. No perfection. And you don't need to know anything before you begin.

You just need small pockets of time where you can slow down, focus on something creative and mindful, and reconnect with a part of yourself that’s probably been buried under all the to-do lists and taking care of everyone else.

And while our students often surprise themselves with what they create, what they talk about most is how painting makes them feel — calmer, more confident, and happier in themselves again.

The Best Online Course I Have Taken I can't say enough about this course. The instructors are there every step of the way and make you feel as though you are sitting right there with them. Their encouragement and uplifting style of teaching helps you feel confident that you can do it! It is well put together and very professional

Carole G.

I am LOVING this course. Everything is beautifully presented, from the kit, the website, 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 provides support and encouragement. I'm now aged 76 and I only wish I’d started this journey earlier as I feel so empowered.

Melanie E.

Think you’re not artistic? I thought so too. But 3 weeks into this course, I was painting beautiful little works of art and even felt confident enough to gift these items to others. I couldn't LOVE this class anymore. BONUS: I also received hours of peace and mindfulness I hadn't expected! Best money spent on myself in years!

Personal Support

Carol has been teaching Folk Art for over 30 years and, together with her niece Toni, they will be there to support and encourage you every step of the way.

We will gently help you move through the inner blocks that can make starting feel impossible - perfectionism, procrastination, self-doubt, and the habit of always putting everyone else first.

Everything You Need

There is nothing worse than feeling excited to begin painting, only to feel overwhelmed trying to work out which supplies to buy and whether you’ve chosen the right things.

That’s why we include all the correct quality supplies, along with a beautiful full-colour workbook journal designed for you to paint directly into.

Online Classroom

At the end of each module, you will submit your work so we can personally guide you through your progress and help you grow in confidence as your skills develop.

Because learning something new is rarely about lacking ability — it’s about staying encouraged long enough to see what happens when you don’t give up on yourself

Beyond Beginners...

Once you’ve mastered the A-B-C's in the Beginners Course, you can move on to more advanced skills in our Academy Courses, much like progressing to ‘joined-up writing’ at school.

Just as some go on to write stories or novels while others simply use writing in everyday life, the Folk Art system we’ve designed helps you discover and nurture your creativity in an accessible and easy-to-understand way. Before long, you’ll be creating your own unique designs and colour schemes.
