Folk Art Masterclass for complete BEGINNERS

Have you ever dreamt of learning to paint but were discouraged by a teacher who said you weren't good at art, had past unsuccessful attempts, or maybe the belief that you're too old to learn something new?

After teaching thousands of doubting students to successfully paint, we can assure you that you DO have an inner artist and it's never too late to find it.

Folk Art Painting (also known as Tole Painting) is centuries old and is commonly known as the 'art of the untrained artist' It was mainly used to create functional items like furniture, but can be used to paint any type of project from a greeting card to a wardrobe.

The best bit? It's a type of art ANYONE can do!

A fulfilling and exciting journey I am loving the course. Everything is beautifully presented, from the kit, the website, the course materials, and each module is explained in great detail so that anyone can easily attempt it and enjoy success. Also, the Student Community group provides support and encouragement. I'm now aged 76 and I only wish I’d started this journey earlier as I feel so empowered.

Think you're not artistic? I thought so too. But 3 weeks into this course, I was painting beautiful little works of art and even felt confident even with my skill to gift these items to others! By nine weeks into the course, I'm gifting the course to others who, like me, have the desire but don't feel they have the talent. I couldn't love this class any more. Bonus: I also received hours of peace and mindfulness I hadn't expected! Best money spent on myself in years!

Fantastic Course! I thought long and hard before I bought this course. It’s been worth every penny! I’m learning so much, at my own pace and with individual positive feedback at every stage. I’m producing art that I could never have imagined. The Facebook group is such a happy place, we’re all in it together, no matter what stage. If you’re interested but uncertain, then just jump in, you won’t regret it.

Best investment in my painting I’ve made yet! Incredible! I’ve been Tole Painting since 1997. But, I didn’t learn it by beginning with strokes. Even when I learned from a well known and talented Tole Painter, she never started me back on strokes. I learned things LITERALLY in the very first lesson. How did I not know this all these years?! I’m loving this course. It’s the best investment in my painting abilities. I’m spreading the word everywhere, to all my painting friends on FB! 🤙

I was fortunate to be introduced to Folk Art while living in Australia in the 90's and learnt from some amazing tutors. Now with over 30 years of experience, teaching around the world, including my time as DecoArt’s Artist Coordinator, I’ve crafted this course to give beginners everything they need to succeed. Alongside my niece Toni, we offer more than just a painting course—we help you overcome mindsets that can hold you back, like self-doubt, perfectionism, and the struggle to prioritise yourself.
