Let's Talk Modules
The breakdown
MODULE 1
Your Creative Reset
Release the blocks keeping you stuck and step into your identity as a confident artist
What if the real reason you’ve not progressed isn’t your skill level… but your internal story?
Before picking up a brush, you will start by rewiring the thoughts, patterns, and hidden fears that quietly sabotage your progress — the same ones that make you doubt your talent, hesitate with every stroke, or feel like you’ll “never catch up” to everyone else.
This module gives you the internal shift that most artists never experience… and it changes everything.
Inside you'll explore:
-
5 Mindset Shifts Confident Artists Live By - You’ll know exactly how confident artists think, decide, and create without fear.
-
Your Creative Confidence Tracker: A simple, powerful tool to capture your "before" brilliance and map out your road to artistic freedom.
-
Your Welcome Pack: A quick-start guide ensuring you have the support and resources you need
MODULE 2
Create Artwork That Captivates
Composition is your secret superpower for creating art that stops people in their tracks.
In this module, you’ll stop relying on luck and start using proven, simple frameworks to structure your art. You’ll uncover the unseen principles quietly shaping every beautiful painting, with two simple composition guides that instantly end the “where do I put this?” struggle.
These tools take the guesswork out of designing your painting, giving you clarity, confidence, and layouts that feel balanced and intentional every time.

The unexpected reason your painting isn't 'working' and how to fix it
-
Learn the techniques masters use to tell stories, create narrative, and make your subject the focus of your painting

A step-by-step method for capturing or selecting the perfect reference photo for your best painting yet!
MODULE 3
Learn To 'See Like an Artist'
If you’ve ever said, “I just can’t draw” — this module proves you wrong (in the best way). You don’t need years of drawing classes. You just need to learn how to see in a new, simple, powerful way.
You’ll learn the quickest, most effective methods for nailing proportions and using simple tools like charcoal to find your confidence. This is the game-changing shift that allows you to stop worrying about accuracy and start painting with flow and freedom.
Inside you'll experience:

-
Learn the easy tricks professional artists use to ensure their shapes and proportions are accurate.

Scribble your way to confidence with loose, expressive marks that lead to confident foundations.
Prepare for the 'A-ha!' moment when your artist's eye sees the world in shapes for the first time!
MODULE 4
Create Depth, Drama & Atmosphere
This is the fast-track to ditching the 'flat' amateur look forever.
You'll unlock the foundational elements of depth, drama, mood — everything that makes a painting feel alive. And once you learn this, your art transforms instantly.
You’ll learn how to use contrast intentionally, crafting the exact emotion you want your painting to hold — whether it’s high drama or soft dreaminess.
Inside Module 4 you'll explore:
-
How to instantly add depth to your paintings, to uplevel your paintings from amateur to gallery-worthy art.

Use light and shadow to create softness, drama, or dreaminess — not by accident, but by choice.

MODULE 5
The Secret Language of Colour
In this module, you’ll learn to see colour the way confident artists do — to understand how different hues interact, how light and shadow affect temperature, and how glazing can make your colours pop!
You’ll unlock the Colour Mixing Magic Formula for mixing any colour confidently (without muddy results!) and discover the secret to making colours visually vibrate using complementary pairs
Inside Module 5 you'll explore:
- The only 3 colours you need to mix EVERY colour you can imagine
- How to use warm and cool shadows for incredible depth and atmosphere

MODULE 6
Unlock Your 'Signature Style'
Every successful artist has a voice, and this module is where you find your unique ‘signature’ style that makes your artwork instantly recognisable and authentically you. You'll dive deep into brush confidence, texture, and techniques that will define your personal style, allowing you to create a collection of work in your own style.
You’ll learn how one simple reference photo can open countless creative pathways, allowing you to decide how you want your unique voice to shine through.
By the end, you’ll be painting with loose, confident strokes, knowing that every mark you make is part of your powerful, evolving style.
Inside Module 6 you'll discover:
- Brush techniques & tools to experiment and express your unique style
- Practical exercises to use your tools like an extension of your hand, allowing you to execute loose, expressive, and confident strokes

Your Original Masterpiece
This is the moment everything comes together — the colours, the shapes, the confidence, you. In this final module, you take all the skills you’ve been building and create your own original, frame-worthy masterpiece from start to finish.
From preparing your canvas, to underpainting for depth, to blocking in your big shapes with confidence — every step is broken down so you can paint boldly.
You’ll refine your details with flow and ease, learn the art of knowing when your painting is done, and even add a luminous glaze that makes your colours sing.
By the end of this module, you won’t just have a finished painting… you'll have proof of what’s possible when you combine the right skills with belief in yourself.
This is where you finally step into your identity as an artist — with a masterpiece to show for it.
Inside you'll discover:
- The method to go from a simple sketchbook idea to a full-scale stunning painting with confidence
- The foundational technique that guarantees rich, vibrant colour and incredible depth in your final layers.
- The vital skill of knowing when to stop to keep your work fresh and vibrant

Snapshots of the course...
Real. life. results.
"None of the courses I have taken have taught me this much."
"I always looked at my paintings and sketches with a lack of something, and I couldn’t tell what it was. I felt stuck; I couldn’t create anything exciting, and I desperately wanted to find my own style.
When I started “Learn to Paint with Confidence," my brain began to shift. Suddenly, I didn’t feel that my art was only a hobby. It was also a way to connect with my true self. “Learn to paint with confidence” resonated and connected with me in such a deep level...to find inspiration, to see colors, values, shapes, and compositions in such a different way. People would ask me what happened to me, and why suddenly my art became so good.
I’ve been painting for so long, but I never felt so confident in my skills or in myself."
Melany Guzman Velderrain
"...all the tools needed to finally declare myself as an artist."
"I am thrilled to have taken Katie's course. Not only did I learn the proper steps to create a painting from beginning to end, I also gained confidence as an artist to paint my own work.
The broken down steps are perfectly offered in a way that I didn’t feel overwhelmed and the positive feedback from Katie in the community of other artist is a safe space for all to share.
Thank you Katie for providing me with all the tools needed to finally
declare myself as an artist."
Melanie Kis
"The Painting with Confidence course has helped to transform my art"
"I am a person in their late 50s, who has done various art classes and workshops over the years. I have always tried to create artwork which I was proud to see however, I was not totally happy with the end result. They lacked the interest and depth I wanted to see.
In particular, the ‘Painting with Confidence’ course gave me clearer perspective about my art, I had a process to use and I was able to identify and understand what I liked and did not like about my work. I experienced a transformation and identifiable breakthrough from concept to creation.
My greatest learning was with Katie’s teachings about highlights and shadows, the clear explanation of warm and cool tones really changed my struggle with this.
The course also gave me the confidence to approach a small local café with my art and now I am the resident artist, I just can’t believe that I have sold multiple paintings! "
Eleni McGinty
“This course has had a tremendous positive impact on my artwork (and my life)! It is giving me a solid foundation in painting and seeing myself as an artist. It is helping me see the world through new eyes, which is so exciting for me.”
Terri Wilkinson
“Thanks to the course I finally fulfilled my dream and now I create paintings I am proud of and truly love. I highly recommend “Learn to Paint with Confidence'' to anyone looking for a sure way to improve their skills and to create art with freedom and joy.”
Zuzanna Jalowy
“This course was the best thing I could have done for myself and my painting. Katie's class teaches all the basics I was lacking.”
Eileen Coker
Katie's class taught me so many things and helped build my confidence as a painter. The course was so easy to follow and truly helped me work on skills towards painting something I was proud of.
If you are a beginner painter like me who feels stuck or frustrated, definitely do this course! You will not be disappointed!
