Hello and Welcome!
I’ve been getting so many questions about which class to take next, so here’s a bit more info about each of my online courses and The School of Happy Painting Membership:
šØ Portrait Painting Masterclass – This is my newest, in-depth online course. It’s the perfect deep dive into developing your own style andĀ focuses on painting women’s eyes and faces.Ā
The Portrait Painting Masterclass is a mix and balance of both watercolor and mixed media. The goal is for you to paint. The lessons are intentionally succinct, building upon the techniques, so you can take any of the watercolor paintings and use them as a stepping stone for your mixed media paintings.
It has 21 watercolor paintings (created with watercolors and water-soluble pencil in 10 min or less), and 11 mixed media paintings (created mostly with high flow acrylics, water-soluble pencil, inks, paint pen in 1 hour or less), plus background paintings, where I demonstrate techniques for painting first layers.
“I couldn’t wait every day to see the next lesson and drive into my paints. I found a lot of freedom and joy in the process of creating these paintings.” -Pam C.
“I loved everything about this class! Painting faces has been something I’ve shied away from, as they seemed so intimidating before. But Juliette made the process so easy, AND FUN! I have learned so much and actually LIKE what I painted! I have joy in painting faces now!” -Dr. Cortney Baker
“This class style really accelerated my ability to lean into my style rather than trying to follow step-by-step instructions with the goal of replicating what Juliette made.” –Meg McAlister
šØ Happy Painting – Mini Course – If you’re looking to dip your toes into mixed media, this class has five instant-access projects and is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to get creative and play with various techniques and mediums.
This was the 1st course Iād taken and it was wonderful. It immediately pulled me out of the slump I was in and gave me permission to just have fun and explore my materials. I watched each lesson over and over and sometimes I would just play them in the background while I was creating because Julietteās voice was so reassuring. Before I knew it I had so much confidence in my new work and I was loving the freedom to create without having a plan. It was a complete eye opener to make art this way. I think so many people are scared they canāt make art and we really can! We just needed someone like Juliette to help us find the way!
šØ Watercolor Joy Mini Course – This class is perfect if youāve been wanting to paint, but feel like you donāt have a lot of time. You only need a pencil and watercolors to get started… there’s six, instant-access projects and it’s all about loosening up and letting go.
“I loved this class. I went through all of the lessons one after the other just letting myself play and be free. It was so therapeutic to paint these girls. I love watercolor and feel like it is something so accessible to everyone, you don’t need a lot of supplies but this walks you through how to make stunning pieces with just a water-soluble pencil and a cheap watercolor kit. Beautiful.” – Nicole B.
šØ The School Of Happy Painting Membership – The membership offers online access to seven of my classesāa library of video and text lessons and a private community.
The membership is the perfect way to try out lots of different mediums, styles and techniques. It will help you develop your own unique style, loosen up in your art, and confidently share your creations.
Each course has different videos and content and is carefully designed to help you on your creative journey.
Here is a glimpse at the classes that are included in The School Of Happy Painting Membership:
Serendipity 1 – Develop Your Style is all about developing your own unique style. Thereās twenty-five in depth projects, so thereās a lot of content and the focus is on helping you develop a cohesive body of work thatās in your own recognizable style, so with every project I share lots of new techniques and ways to find your voice and style along with my own inspirations for each project and how they helped me evolve that painting.
“This course was the in depth instruction that I was really looking for to take some of the quick pieces Iād done and really develop them further. Watching Juliette work through a piece until she really felt the character develop was so helpful. Knowing that I wasnāt making any mistakes and that if something wasnāt working just changing my tool or supply could get me right through that tough spot was so useful. I really found that after this course I was able to not let negative self talk that was holding me back so often with my art get me down. Juliette is so relatable that I felt sheās been there and felt that too and she had solutions that really worked.”

āJuliette taught me to sketch. I didnāt think I could do that. I thought each time I wanted to draw something ā I had to find something to copy. There was no way could I just put pencil to paper and come up with something… WRONG! I CAN!!!ā ā Dana Strickland

Here’s a little bit more of what students are saying about my online courses…
āSo many videos and Julietteās helpful commentary and guidance through the whole process. It really helped me loosen up while experimenting with many different media and techniques. Other classes Iāve taken just speed edit through the most important parts, while Juliette takes the time to explain what motivates her artistic process. That, for me, is the value of a class.ā -Isabelle Lafrance
āI love your forgiving approach and so appreciate your personal thoughts, especially tips for working through the creative ruts and dry spells we all encounter from time to time.ā -Kim Lacefield
āJuliette shares every step of her creative process in an honest way. The videos are worth watching over and over. I am inspired to try so many new things!ā -Mo Brady
āJuliette, you gave me more inspiration and courage than you will ever know ā I enjoy your easy going nature and that you show us your frustrations and how you make what you consider ugly characters into wonderful ones.ā -Joanne Summy
āThank you for teaching me to let goā¦ splash paintā¦ enjoyā¦ and discover the joy of serendipitous moments.ā ā Sandy Leamon Derryberry
āYour classes opened my eyes to having more fun creating. I now am not scared of starting a project and Iām having a blast creating backgrounds!ā -Nina Marie
āI learn best when I see you paint while you give information as to why your painting is working or is in need of correction. The way you work through your corrections gives me insight into my own issues and encourages me to keep going. Your videos are fun, light, colorful and always a pleasure to watch. Because of you, I enjoy painting and will try anything.ā ā Peggy Mcdevitt
āStarting was a big milestone for me but once I did it became my savior! Iād say that if anyone out there is looking for an online class that gets you just ādoingā instead of āthinkingā this is the one for you. At last Iāve found the style of art that I absolutely love and even though I canāt draw for peanuts Iāve been happy with the pieces that Iāve created ā thanks to the amazing guidance of Juliette who has the most lovely teaching style.ā ā Stephanie Banks
āJuliette shows how she works through creating a painting. What is especially great about this, besides the tips on technique, methods, and art materials, is that she shows how she goes through the ugly stages or the āthis isnāt workingā stages and pushes through. It is very inspirational (and comforting) to see a person who paints for a living also struggles with these issues.ā -Renata Wurster
