Why I Teach Using Florals
People often ask if I'll ever teach a Landscape Masterclass or a Wildlife Masterclass.
The truth is...
Florals are simply the subject I chose because they provide one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to learn color, composition, value and design.
Once you understand the creative process, those same skills can be applied to virtually any subject you choose to paint.
AÂ Letter From Christie
Â
Â
For over 30 years, I've been creating art, and for the past 13 years, I've had the privilege of teaching thousands of women how to paint. Today, more than 2,000 students paint with me every month through my online programs.
But after years of teaching, I noticed something.
My students could follow a tutorial beautifully. Yet when it came time to create something of their own, so many of them felt stuck.
They'd ask me:
"How do you come up with your own ideas?"
That's when I realized the missing piece wasn't talent.
It wasn't more inspiration.
It wasn't another tutorial.
It was a repeatable creative process.
That's why I created Inside the Art Studio™.
This isn't about teaching you to paint one more project. It's about guiding you through the same creative process I use to transform inspiration into original artwork, so you can confidently create paintings that are uniquely yours.
I know taking this next step can feel intimidating.
Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped believing we were creative. We became afraid of making mistakes, wasting paint, or not being good enough.
I don't believe that's how your story has to end.
I believe God placed creativity inside every one of us. My hope is that when you finish this course, you won't just have beautiful paintings to hang on your wall. You'll have the confidence to trust your own creativity and a process you can return to every time you sit down to paint.
Choosing to invest in yourself and your creativity is a big step, and I'm honored you're considering taking this journey with me.
I truly believe creativity is a gift that continues to grow the more we use it. My hope is that this Masterclass not only teaches you new skills but also changes the way you see the world around you.
I can't wait to paint alongside you and watch your confidence grow.
I'd love to be your guide on that journey.

Christie's Creative Process™
Your Journey Through Christie's Creative Process
Every original painting begins long before the first brushstroke. That's why I've organized this Masterclass to walk you through the same creative process I use every time I begin a new piece of artwork.
Â
Each module builds on the last, giving you the confidence to move from inspiration to original artwork, one step at a time.
Â
BELOW IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN EACH MODULE.Â
- EACH MODULE IS BROKEN DOWN INTO LESSONS AND MINI-SESSIONS
- SHORT LESSONS MAKEÂ IT EASY TO FOLLOW AND IMPLEMENT
Module 1 • Gather Inspiration & PlanÂ
INSPIRATION - ORGANIZATION - PREPARATION
Every painting starts with an idea.
In this module, I'll show you how I gather inspiration from my own photographs, Pinterest, nature, still life arrangements and even AI. You'll begin training your eye to recognize possibilities everywhere and build an inspiration library you'll return to again and again.
You'll learn how to:
- Discover my 4 signature sources for finding endless painting inspiration
- Organize your ideas so you never wonder what to paint next
- Transform your own photos into creative inspiration.
- Learn how to create simple still-life arrangements that spark original ideas
- Create Inspiration Boards that you build your own composition from
Module 2 • Building Your Composition
SIMPLIFY - DESIGN - CREATE
Every painting starts with a design before you paint. Â
Before I ever pick up a paintbrush, I spend time making creative decisions.
I'll show you how you simplify what you see, create stronger compositions, use thumbnails, understand the Elements of Art, and develop a solid plan before painting begins.
You'll learn how to:
• Simplify complex scenes
• Create stronger compositions
• Prepare with thumbnail sketches
• Learn the importance of design elements in your art
• Design your composition before you paint
Module 3 • Understanding Color
COLOR -Â VALUESÂ -Â HARMONY
Learn color in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.
I'll walk you through the same methods I use to choose palettes, understand value relationships, create harmony, and use color intentionally to bring a painting to life.
You'll learn how to:
- Build harmonious color palettes
- Learn the secret to avoid muddy colors
- Discover how to create vibrant bold colors
- Use value to create depth
- Create mood through colorÂ
Module 4 • Finding Your Unique Style
EXPLORATION -Â TEXTURE - STYLE
Play with possibilities to find what you love.
One of my favorite parts of this journey is helping artists discover what makes their work uniquely their own.
We'll experiment with texture, mark-making, backgrounds, creative exploration, and the artistic choices that help your paintings develop their own personality.
You'll learn how to:
• Experiment with confidence
• Develop your artistic style
• Create texture and movement
• Explore new creative possibilities
Module 5 • Bringing It All Together
TECHNIQUE - DECISIONS - EXPRESSION
Now it is time bring all your hard work to life!
You'll bring together everything you've learned as I walk you through creating original artwork using the same creative process we've built throughout the Masterclass.
This isn't simply about finishing a painting.
It's about understanding why you're making each creative decision. This is just the beginning of your journey in creating!Â
You'll learn how to:
• Express yourself with confidence
• Discover your own artistic voice
• Refine your painting with an artistic eye
• Repeat the process with each new piece you create
Module 6 • Sharing Your Artwork
PRODUCTS - PRINTS - PAINTÂ PARTIES
Your artwork deserves to be shared.
In this final core module, I'll show you how I photograph my paintings, prepare them for prints and products, and confidently present my work to others.
Whether you're painting for yourself or dreaming of selling your work someday, these lessons will help you present your art beautifully.
🌟 NEW BONUS MODULE
Module 7 • Studio Critiques & Creative Coaching
REFLECT - LEARN - APPLY
One of the most valuable ways to grow as an artist is by learning alongside others.
You'll receive access to an extensive library of critique sessions from previous Masterclass students.
Listen in as I answer questions, offer feedback, solve common painting challenges, and encourage artists through the exact obstacles you're likely to experience yourself.
Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from hearing someone else's question.Â
🌟 NEW BONUS MODULE
Module 8 • Beyond Florals: Applying the Process to Any Subject
Throughout this Masterclass, we use florals because they provide a beautiful and approachable way to learn the creative process.
But don't let the flowers fool you.
The principles you've learned can be applied to landscapes, birds, still life, coastal scenes, and virtually any subject that inspires you.
In this brand-new bonus module, I'll take you behind the scenes of a variety of my own paintings and walk you through my creative decisions from start to finish. You'll see where the inspiration came from, how I developed the composition, what I changed along the way, and why.
Because once you understand the process...The reference changes. The process doesn't.
Â
Learn at Your Own Pace
Inside the Art Studio is now completely self-paced.
The moment you enroll, you'll receive immediate access to all eight modules, bonus content, downloadable resources, workbook pages, and critique replays. Whether you choose to work through the lessons in a few weeks or savor them over several months, you'll have lifetime access to return whenever inspiration strikes.

YES! I'm Ready to Learn the Creative Process
I am ready to enroll!Meet Florals Masterclass alum, Nancy W
Nancy works in real estate, and she's always had art as a creative outlet. She knew she had some natural talent for painting, but she didn't have any formal training.Â
The Masterclass gave Nancy insight to the process of creating a painting that she needed to level up and feel confident creating her own original paintings!Â
Meet Florals Masterclass alum, Laurie S
Laurie is a retired kindergarten teacher who started painting with Christie about a year before she enrolled in the Masterclass. Before that she didn't have any painting experience.Â
She now has the confidence to paint her own originals and is noticing the elements of art in her daily life!Â
Meet Florals Masterclass alum, Cheryle P
Cheryle has been painting along with Christie in Tribe and Workshops for several years. She shared that her biggest takeaways from the Masterclass were a deep understanding of color, and experimenting with composition in Procreate.Â
Here, Cheryle talks about how valuable she found the support from our community of students in her Masterclass cohort.Â
Meet Florals Masterclass alum, Pauline G
Pauline's been painting with me in Tribe for 5 years. When she joined the Masterclass, she gained the confidence to create her first original painting—something she never thought possible!Â
Pauline also realized the true value of the course, saying the knowledge and confidence she gained were worth every penny.
Now, she’s back for another round, eager to keep learning and pushing her creativity further. Her advice? “Throw fear out the window—you’ll be amazed at what you can do!”
