Have you ever thought…

“I’ll paint again when life slows down.”
“I’m just too busy right now.”
“I don’t even know where to start.”

I hear this all the time — and I’ve said it myself.

Here’s the truth:
Life doesn’t slow down.

But that doesn’t mean painting has to stay on hold.

Most people don’t stop painting because they don’t love it.
They stop because they feel overwhelmed, unsure, or are waiting for the “perfect” time.

This workshop exists to help you stop waiting and start painting — right where you are.

Not when life is quieter.
Not when you feel more confident.
Not when you have the perfect supplies or more free time.

This 7-day workshop was created for real life — full schedules, busy minds, and people who want to paint but aren’t sure how to begin. With easy-to-follow, approachable lessons and gentle guidance each day, you’ll learn how to be intentional with the time you already have and take simple steps forward without overwhelm.

You don’t need experience or talent — just a willingness to start, one brushstroke at a time.


 

What You’ll Get Inside the 7-Day Workshop

🌸 7 Days of Guided Painting with Christie
Simple, step-by-step instruction from a professional artist and experienced teacher — no guessing, no overwhelm.

🌸 Live Daily Painting Sessions (with replays)
Join live at 12 PM CT or paint on your own schedule with full access to replays.

🌸 Beginner-Friendly Painting Projects
Simple floral paintings designed to teach foundational skills you can use again — not paint-by-number projects.

🌸 Painter’s Toolbox Foundations
Learn how to mix colors, use your brushes with confidence, and understand the basics behind what you’re doing — so you’re building real painting skills, not just following steps.

🌸 A Quick-Win Painting
Finish a smaller painting in under an hour — perfect for building momentum and confidence.

🌸 A Longer “Trust the Process” Painting
Layer, loosen up, and apply what you’ve learned as you create a more in-depth piece with guidance and intention.

🌸 Mindset & Creative Encouragement
Gentle reminders and faith-based encouragement to help you let go of fear and enjoy the process.

🌸 A Supportive Private Community
A private Facebook group filled with encouragement, inspiration, and support as you paint.

About Christie Hawkins

Artist. Creative Coach. Founder of The Social Easel.

Hi, I’m Christie — and I help women who think they “aren’t creative” learn how to paint with confidence and joy.

I’ve been painting for over 25 years, with more than 5 years of college-level art education and professional training. Before taking my business online, I spent over 6 years teaching sold-out, in-person paint nights — watching women walk in saying “I’m not creative” and walk out with a smile and a painting they were proud of.

I started The Social Easel in 2013 with a heart to bring art to women everywhere — especially those who never thought they could do it.

After decades of painting and teaching thousands of students, I developed my signature teaching style, which:

  • 🎨 Breaks painting into simple, doable steps for absolute beginners

  • 🖌️ Teaches simple art fundamentals so you understand why things work — not just how to copy a painting

  • 💗 Encourages you to be brave, face fear, and embrace the process

  • ✨ Focuses on mindset as much as art — because creativity is about more than paint on a canvas

This workshop is a small taste of what we do every month inside my membership, The Tribe. My mission is to help women paint with confidence, embrace imperfection, and rediscover who they are through creativity.
