JOIN THE WORKSHOP!

This acrylic painting class is meant for anyone who’s never picked up a paintbrush before to seasoned artists who want to learn new skills, a new style, and a new FUN painting!

 
In the Be the Sunshine lessons, Christie will teach different lettering options, paint color mixing, and how to use paint pens in your art for a new look. Join the workshop to learn how to layer all those colors and textures into one gorgeous piece of art, and of course, have fun being creative! 
 

Scared you can’t do it? Don’t be!

I will teach attendees fundamental acrylic painting techniques, answer all the questions, and encourage practice before beginning the final painting.

 
Here is the thing I love, messy is good! Mistakes are welcome! Leave perfectionism at the door, let loose, and have fun! The imperfection that comes with this whimsical style of painting is what makes it so satisfying, freeing, and beautiful!

There is a creative side in each and every one of us and Christie is going to help uncover that!

 
My hope is that everyone will feel the love I have for art and the joy it can bring others! Let's spread some sunshine and happiness in this world! 
 

If you are ready for a fun challenge, come join me and the encouraging community of ladies you will be a part of!

Christie will start each lesson with a mini devotional.

I will help you overcome the fear that is stopping you from painting, many of those feeling are things that most of us deal with in life and in our journey with art!

Love • Joy • Trust

Come ready with paintbrushes and a cup of coffee! All of this will happen inside of our own private group with a community of like-minded people. We are meant to do life together!

This group is going to allow attendees the opportunity to not only learn but also to share, get loved on, and love on others!

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret… It’s about a whole lot more than just painting! It’s about letting loose, having fun, trusting God, and building amazing connections!

What do I need?

A few basic supplies to grab:

  • Paint Pens in your favorite colors (Christie recommends having at least a black and white for all those accent marks)

*Note: No need to prep anything ahead of time. Christie will start from the very beginning in the first lesson. Her recommendation for all students is to watch first and then paint at the pace that works best for each person. This allows each student to really focus on what is being taught without trying to "keep up" during the lesson.

This will make the entire event much less stressful and allow for everyone to sit back and enjoy learning!

Hi, I am Christie

I am the owner of The Social Easel and also the founder of Christie’s Inner Tribe! And I LOVE to paint and to teach others!!

I believe we all have a creative side to us. Sometimes we just need help pulling it out! That’s what I am here for! Over the past 7 years, I have taught thousands of people, just like you, how to paint! And get this, most of which had never picked up a paintbrush before! 

I’ve taken my over 30 years of experience with painting and developed an easy-to-follow system to teach you how to paint with no experience needed! I want to help everyone find that creative ability that I believe we all have!

I come from a line of artists in my family.  It’s ingrained in me and brings me so much joy! I’ve been painting since I was a child! Now I want to bring that joy to you! I believe God created us in His image. He is the original Creator. He has instilled a creative side in all of us, some of us just haven’t found it yet.

My goal and purpose in life is to bring that out of others and help them find the joy in painting and what it can do for your life! 

XOXO Christie
