Paint with Kat

Your Monthly Creative Practice

$15/month - 2026 Founding Member Pricing


Create and live an artful life

In a world of constant screens and notifications, taking time to paint is a luxury. Paint with Kat is your permission slip to slow down, get messy in the studio, and devote yourself to analog creativity without pressure or deadlines.

This space is about discovering new processes, sharpening your skills, and spending more time doing what you actually love: making art.

The Luxury of Offline Time

Painting is analog. It's tactile. It's present. When you're mixing colors on your palette or watching paint move across canvas, you're fully engaged in the moment—not distracted by emails, algorithms, or endless scrolling.

Paint with Kat gives you a reason to protect that creative time. To turn off your phone, step into your studio, and spend an hour (or three) with your hands covered in paint, doing the work that feeds your soul.

âś“ You want to paint more consistently but struggle with accountability
âś“ You want high-quality instruction without the pressure of live classes

Frequently Asked Questions


Are there live calls or coaching?

No. Paint with Kat is designed to fit your schedule. All content is pre-recorded so you can watch, pause, and paint along whenever works for you. This keeps the membership affordable and accessible while giving you maximum flexibility. There is a community chat area where you can share your work and get weekly support from Kat and other members.


What skill level is this for?

All levels are welcome! Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or you've been painting for years, these demos and lessons are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow.


What mediums does Kat use?

I primarily work in oil painting, but also teach watercolor and pencil drawing. You'll see sketchbook work, expressive techniques, alla prima (wet-on-wet) painting, and occasionally layered painting approaches.


Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There's no long-term commitment. You can cancel your membership at any time through your account settings.


What's your refund policy?
