This is the year everything can change. Your Art and Your Life.
It’s no accident that you landed on this page, right here, right now. Something in you knows it’s time to put yourself out there, to see just how good you are. This is your invitation to overcome whatever stands in your way to making art.
I’ve been a fine artist and teacher for over 31 years, and I believe the world needs art—now more than ever.
I know how hard and scary it can be, so I’m going to give you 3 ways to make better art for the rest of your life—with greater certainty and way more fun.
FROM MY STUDIO TO YOURS, JOIN ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE MAKE ART TOGETHER.
“I feel so moved by this.
I literally found myself crying with joy.”
ERICA CLEVERLY
This is it. Once a year I do this free workshop. And I friggin’ love it.
Why? Because I already know what is going to happen.
In 5 days, your art will get way better than it is right now.
Way better.
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU’RE STARTING OUT OR ARE SUPER EXPERIENCED. THESE 5 DAYS WILL BE A GAME-CHANGER FOR YOU.
I will be sharing with you my approach to making strong authentic art.
The kind of art that keeps you up at night. The kind that makes you lose track of time.
The kind of art that makes you say quietly to yourself:
“I think I love this…”
That is the giant breakthrough I want you to have this week.
I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE ART THAT FEELS MORE LIKE YOU IN A FUN, EASY, AND FAST WAY.
And when that starts happening, well,
a whole bunch of other things do too…
You feel more
like yourself
than ever before.
YOU GET MORE ENERGY.
MORE CONFIDENCE.
MORE SALES.
MORE TIME.
AND, OF COURSE, BETTER AND BETTER ART.
AND THIS HAPPEN FAST.
5 DAYS FAST.
Over 80,000 people from all over the globe come to this workshop every year. You know why? They want to overcome the challenges every artist faces along the way. They’re uninspired, they’re inconsistent, and they feel stuck.
Can you relate?
“I finally got what I’ve been searching for!”
“This was definitely an A-HA moment! I have taken dozens of classes, read numerous art books, and never understood the underlying substructure of good paintings. I searched for classes and all I got was another technique—while design and composition eluded me. After yesterday’s Design video, I finally got what I’ve been searching for! I can only imagine the gems that will be presented next in Value and Color.”

THE MOST COMMON CHALLENGES WE’LL HELP YOU SOLVE:
Uninspired
When your art stays “just okay” for too long, it can leave you feeling flat. Ugh. It’s draining to keep making the same old art—the kind of art that no longer gets you fired up. No bueno. This is fixable. And I can show you how.
Inconsistent
Some days you like what you make, but often you don’t. Does making art sometimes feel like a rollercoaster? Up, up, up but then inevitably down, down, down. Not knowing how or why this is happening is defeating and stressful. It doesn’t have to be.
Stuck
The number one challenge artists have is just not knowing what to do next. Is your next move going to hurt whatever you’re making? Talk about pressure. This is not fun. If you’re overthinking and it’s holding you back, if perfectionism has you stopped in your tracks, I will be sharing 3 principles that will help you get unstuck and back to playing. Once you learn these, you will always have a way to get yourself unstuck and come back to flow.

Every artist experiences these feelings.
It’s normal, and it’s solvable.
“I’m wholeheartedly diving in!”
“Connecting my art to my life is blooming this week. The angst, procrastination and indecisiveness have been tossed out the window! I’m wholeheartedly diving in. Thank you, Nicholas!”

Here’s how
Being artists puts us on the wildest, most meaningful path to becoming our true selves. It’s scary and hard to do it alone. My mission in life is to help you stay on that path and share your work with the world.
This week will help you do just that—with the tools I wish I had learned in art school and thousands of friends by your side. No one takes this brave path without the right tools and good friends.
3 LIFE-CHANGING TOOLS TO CREATE THE ART OF YOUR LIFE:
ART2LIFE PRINCIPLE #1:
Design
Learn why some art is more impactful than others. Understand the power of design and how to use it to make art only YOU can create.
ART2LIFE PRINCIPLE #2:
Value
Take your art from good to great by learning this single most powerful principle. It’s amazing how few artists understand value. Once you do, you’ll see it and feel it in everything you make.
ART2LIFE PRINCIPLE #3:
Color
If you want to feel totally free as an artist, you must understand color. Learn how easy it is to mix colors that take your breath away.
Irresistible art that you love.
That’s what this week is all about.
THE FIRST LESSON WILL BE RELEASED IN
How it works
This FREE workshop is held over five consecutive days (March 3-7).
Most days will start with a short video lesson delivered to your inbox. It will give you a 20-30 minute overview of what I will teach in the Live Studio Training later that afternoon. I will go deeper into each day’s lesson in this longer training (50-60 min).
We will be making art together, and you’ll get your questions answered live, in real time. You are going to meet some amazing artists, see some incredible art, and maybe even win some very cool prizes. Most of all, you’ll get back on the path to making the kind of art only you can make.

“I am just blown away”
“I am just blown away by this orientation to art and creating. I taught art for many years and also worked as an Art Therapist, but these workshops are like drinking honey. The sweetness, clarity and ease Art2life creates for me is a new awakening. I have a completely new understanding and grasp of how to create, view and speak about art. Love it! Thank you!”
