Six Week Training Program

The Doodle Institute:
A Six-Week Painting Training!

A Live, Hands-On Painting Experience Designed to Help You Create with Confidence!

I created this program because I believe that painting should feel joyful, expressive, and accessible. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, this six-week training is designed to help you master painting techniques, develop your unique style, and feel confident in your creative process.

But this is more than just a course—it’s a live learning experience where you’ll get real-time instruction, hands-on coaching, and a supportive community to grow with.

Why This Training is Different

Live Weekly Classes – No pre-recorded videos! You’ll learn with me in real time, step by step.
Interactive Coaching – Extra time for Q&A, feedback, and refining your work.
Open Studio Sessions – Dedicated time to practice, explore, and get personal guidance.
A Proven Step-by-Step Process – You’ll go from blank canvas to finished painting, learning color theory, composition, backgrounds, character development, and digital refinement.
