Make Gorgeous Little Paintings, 20 Minutes at a Time

An easy way back to your art, even when life is busy …

If you love to paint but finding time is hard, this video is for you. In this video, I’ll show you exactly how a little painting comes together in 20-minute sessions. I’ll give you three tips you can use tonight. And I’ll share what happens to your whole life when you start painting again.

Watch it here:

I made this video for you because so many of you told me the same thing. Time. You’re busy, you get in your own way, and it’s hard to get started.

I’ve been there too. So I started making little paintings, 20 minutes at a time. And now, when I know I have a painting going on my art table, I feel so happy. Everything in my life feels more sparkly.

In this video, I’ll show you exactly how one little butterfly painting comes together in three, 20-minute sessions. And I’ll share three tips you can use tonight.

It’s way more doable than you think.

Tell me in the comments

After you watch, scroll down and tell me. What’s a painting idea that excites you right now? Could you start the background tonight?

I read every comment.

Share the love

If this video made you smile, click like, and share it with a friend who paints. It’s so much easier to begin when you have someone on the path with you.

Want to know when my new class opens?

This Thursday, I’m opening my new class, 12 Days of Painting. We’ll make 12 gorgeous little paintings together this fall, each broken into 20-minute sessions. The first 10 women to join will get a set of my note cards in the mail.

Get on the list to be the first to know here

Beauty & Truth, Kellie! Great inspirational video and so doable. I like the breakdown of the 20 minutes a day as well as the option of moving in and out of twenty minute paint parcels in a day. It keeps the painting process lighter and more playful. Thank you for your continued sparkle and ways to support women’s creativity.
