A SOLUTION to Overwhelming Choices

Open the box.

Press play.

Start painting.

When I first started in my oil painting journey, I was SUPER overwhelmed with picking supplies.

TOO many options!!!!

A quick look onto Dick Blick (online art super store) and you would be SERIOUSLY inundated with decisions like:

⚠️ What brushes are good for a beginner?

⚠️ Why can’t I use my other art brushes?

⚠️ What the hell size is a #4?

⚠️ What paints should I try? I didn’t want expensive stuff but I didn’t want shitty paint either.

⚠️ What would I paint ON? Canvas? Other options?

And all this with the thought -

😖😖😖😖😖 WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE PAINTING WITH OIL? 😖😖😖😖😖😖

I was painting with acrylics and I liked it. But I could see that oil paints were SO much richer in depth and color and I REALLY wanted to try them. But I was also worried about things like:

❓ What about dry time? I don’t want to let my paintings dry that long!

❓ GOSH, oil paints are so much more expensive!!!

❓ I hear that blending colors is so risky!

❓ Are they toxic and STINKY?

❓ What is this fat over lean shit?

My FIRST of many investments in Oil painting was about $300 and that was only the beginning!

So, I was determined to make this EASIER for beginners.

A SOLUTION - because the struggle was REAL!

A low risk startup kit. Try it and no remorse if you hate it and want to pitch it all.

So I built what I wish I had.

✅ A simple setup that has been tested.

✅ Brushes that move the paint the way they’re supposed to.

✅ A surface that doesn’t fight you (this part matters more than you think. More to come.)

✅ And most importantly — a place to start

These kits include access to a step-by-step painting tutorial along inside this community so you’re not just looking at supplies wondering “What the F💣 do I do now?”.

Open the box.

Press play.

Start painting.

And if you already have supplies?

There is a list of what I teach with there in the link too.

This isn’t about buying stuff.

It’s about finally starting.
