Not at all! Most of the women who join me are complete beginners. I break everything down into simple, doable steps that are great for all skill levels— plus, I provide a traceable template on certain painting lessons so you don’t even have to worry about drawing. If you can follow along, you can paint!

I’ve taught thousands of women just like you how to paint over the past 12 years. Painting is just a learned skill like anything else in life. Once you start doing it and the more you practice, they better you get! 

I’ll give you a full supply list for each project so there’s no guessing. You don’t need anything fancy to get started — just some basic synthetic brushes, acrylic paints, and a canvas. Many members even use supplies they already have at home.

That’s the beauty of the Painting of the Month Club! You’ll have lifetime access to each monthly tutorial in your private member library. That means you can paint on your schedule — stop, pause, rewind, and come back to it whenever you’re ready. Each lesson only take a few hours a month so you can fit it in to any schedule!

Take it at your own pace. There is no such thing as being behind!

On the 1st of each month, I release a new, pre-recorded video tutorial to the website!  Create a log-in at checkout and then access your tutorial whenever you want! With 24/7 access you can go back to the tutorials again and again! 

Your monthly membership fee will be automatically drafted the same day each month as when you signed up. For example, if you sign up on September 29, your next payment will automatically draft the 29th each month after.

You are going to get hands-on experience learning to paint with me like no other! Drawing on a lifetime of painting experience, I’ve taught thousands of women just like you. I’ve been teaching for over 12 years and painting for more than 25.

My simple, step-by-step approach takes away the fear and frustration so you can actually enjoy the process. My goal isn’t just to teach you techniques — it’s to help you find JOY in painting and in giving yourself time for YOU.

The great thing about POTMC is that you can cancel at anytime so there is no commitment! 

If you only want this class, all you have to do is email support before the 15th of the next month to cancel, however, I don’t think you will want to! I have so many good ones already picked out for you to keep your creativity flowing! 

ALSO...As a member, you will get an early sneak peek of what is coming before the public so you can make that choice. This is the only way to get Christie’s tutorials for only $20! You will not find these anywhere else as they exclusive to members only! 

I get it, friend — it can feel hard to spend money on yourself. But think about it: $20 is about the same as lunch out with a friend, a couple of coffees, or a quick trip to the craft store.

For that same $20, you’ll get lifetime access to a full painting lesson, time to relax and recharge, and a beautiful piece of art you’ll be proud of.

All of that for less than $1 a day!! 

You are worth carving out a little time each month just for you.

PLUS...don't forget, you can easily pay for your membership by selling your artwork! Win-win!

Yes! While the club is primarily about learning and enjoying your creativity, you also have permission to sell your finished paintings and even teach these projects at in-person paint parties in your local community if you’d like.

You are welcome to:

• Sell your original paintings that you create from my tutorials.

• Create products with your art — like prints, cards, mugs, or other handmade items.

• Teach in-person paint parties or local workshops using my designs.

This means not only are you growing in your skills and confidence, but you also have the opportunity to earn extra income and share your creativity with others if you’d like. Some of my members have even built small businesses around what they’ve learned here!

So whether you want to paint purely for joy, to gift to friends and family, or to turn your creativity into a side hustle — the choice is yours. 💛

If you teach Paint Parties, this is a great way for you to build your business using my paintings instead of having to come up with new material each month! (Please Note: The teaching of any of my material online is strictly prohibited)

Absolutely not. 💛 You are never too old to learn something new or to discover a part of yourself that’s been waiting to shine. In fact, many of the women who join me are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s — and most of them have never picked up a paintbrush before!

Pauline (one of my members for over 5 years) is 82 years old and not only painting, but selling her artwork and even teaching small paint classes. 

My step-by-step process makes it simple and stress-free, no matter your age or skill level. Painting is about joy, creativity, and giving yourself a little time each month to do something just for you. And trust me — it’s never too late for that. 🎨✨

That makes my heart so happy! If you’re ready for more, the next step is my Tribe Membership — and this is where the magic really happens. Doors are closed right now but as a POTMC, you will have the opportunity to upgrade a few times a year.

When you join Tribe, you’ll get everything included in the Painting of the Month Club PLUS:
✨ 2 live, step-by-step painting tutorials every month with me.
✨ Access to our private, supportive community of Tribe Sisters — women just like you who will encourage and inspire you.
✨ Monthly devotionals to fill your heart as you fill your canvas. 💕
✨ Immediate access to the Vault with over 200+ past tutorials to explore at your own pace.

So, if Painting of the Month Club gives you a taste of the joy of painting, Tribe opens the door to a whole creative world waiting for you. 🎨✨
