Make art for 20–30 minutes a day and build momentum before the year ends.

Make art for 15 to 30 minutes a day using the supplies, space, and time you already have.

Art is good for your health.
"Arts engagement in our everyday lives can reduce our risk of developing depression, dementia, chronic pain, harmful behaviors, physical decline, even premature mortality."
— Professor Daisy Fancourt, Art Cure
"Kat is a fantastic teacher"
Because she is working on her own practice constantly, therefore her knowledge comes from her own easel. I have learned so much from watching her painting videos, and it also helped me gain the confidence to apply paint to canvas. Highly recommended!

Do any of these sound familiar?
 |
You're avoiding the thing you love most.Days and even weeks go by and you feel like you haven't showed up for your creativity, or not as much as you would like. |
 |
Coming back feels scary.You get a little anxious returning to the studio after a break. |
 |
You need accountability.Deep in the core of your being you know you're an artist. You have the supplies. You have the ideas. But somehow time keeps slipping and the work isn't getting made. |
"I was honestly blown away by this course."
Kat went above and beyond with her demos, tutorials, and group support. She modeled good art practices in her own studio and deeply inspired us all.

WHO THIS IS FOR
You want to make art.
Not someday. Not only when everything else is done. Not only when the mood is perfect.
But creative time is easy to lose.
A few busy days turn into a few weeks. An unfinished piece starts to feel heavier. You wait for a bigger block of time, then feel behind before you even begin.
This challenge is for artists who are ready to return to the work without making it complicated.
You are not behind.
You need a simple container that helps you begin again, keep going, and trust small daily progress.
For 21 days, the focus is not perfection. It is presence.
A little time. A clear prompt. A choice to show up. A body of work that starts to move again.
How it works
Follow along daily or choose your own frequency or daily time commitment.
If you drift or skip a day, just jump back in.
There is no falling behind in this challenge because the point is the practice, not the final product.
What if just 21 days jump started your momentum?
What if 21 days gave you a headstart and helped you build momentum you can apply to your professional or personal work?
Because you finally gave yourself permission to show up, consistently, inside a community that's doing it alongside you. Getting comfortable making time for yourself and your art is key. Feeling safe taking up time and space for your art feels like a selfish luxury at first, but over time you learn that you are happier, feel connected to the studio flow, and ideas seem to keep coming and building momentum.
The Spend More Time With Your Art Challenge is a 21-day commitment to your creative practice.
Whether you have ten minutes or a few hours each day, making space for your creativity is possible. This challenge gives you the structure, the accountability, and the community to actually do it.
P.S. This is not a painting course. I'll have a few demos of my process, but feel free to work on your own ideas and creative nudges.

What’s inside
A 21-day creative structure
Build momentum with a clear rhythm of short lessons, prompts, and practices that help you return to your art without overcomplicating it.
15 daily audio and video encouragement lessons
The main challenge includes Day 1 through Day 15 lessons with practical prompts, clear next steps, and gentle encouragement so you always know how to begin.
Grounding tools and creative prompts
Use grounding practices, reflection prompts, action steps, sketchbook exercises, intuitive painting, EFT/tapping, and kind self-talk to move through perfectionism and self-doubt.
Optional community accountability
Check in with introductions, reflections, books, grounding techniques, creative non-negotiables, or works in progress when sharing feels supportive.
Bonus painting demos and a downloadable 21-prompt PDF
Keep your momentum going with bonus demos, a prompt bank you can return to anytime, and low-pressure support for getting started again.
Use what you have in any medium
Paint, draw, collage, stitch, sculpt, photograph, work digitally, or mix materials. Any space counts, your phone camera is enough, and the goal is showing up, not perfection.
hey there, i'm Kat
Your guide back to your creative practice
Kat is here to hold the container so you can stay connected to your art.
Not to tell you there is one right way to make. Not to push you into producing for the sake of producing. Not to turn your creative practice into another pressure project.
Her role is to guide the rhythm, offer prompts, create accountability, and help you keep returning to the page, canvas, table, screen, or studio.
You bring the desire to make.
Kat brings the structure that helps you follow through.
Together, the next 21 days can become a practical return to your creative momentum.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You have a creative practice, or had one in the past, and you want to deepen it.
You've been away from your work and you want a structured re-entry.
You thrive in community and do better when others are doing it alongside you.
this might not be for you if:
You're a complete artist beginner looking for technical instruction. We have other resources for that, or we can point you to other amazing educators.
You want step-by-step painting lessons. We have some bonus demos, but this is about practice, not step by step lessons.
You're not ready to commit 21 days to your creative practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a professional artist?
No. This challenge is for anyone who wants to make art consistently and reconnect with creative momentum. You can be returning after a long break, building a current practice, or simply wanting more structure.
What if I miss a day?
You are not behind if you miss a day. The goal is to keep returning. The challenge is designed to help you continue without turning one missed session into a reason to stop.
How much time do I need each day?
Plan for 15 to 30 minutes. You can do more if you want, but you do not need long studio days to benefit from the challenge.
What medium can I use?
Any medium is welcome. Use what you already have and what you feel drawn to: painting, drawing, collage, fiber, mixed media, photography, digital work, sculpture, or something else entirely.
Do I have to share my work?
No. Sharing is optional. You can participate privately, share occasionally, or use the group accountability in whatever way supports your practice.
What kind of support and accountability is included?
You will have structure, prompts, and gentle accountability throughout the challenge.
Each day gives you a short lesson, a clear practice, and a simple next step so you are not left wondering what to make or how to begin. You will also have reflection prompts, grounding tools, bonus demos, and a downloadable 21-prompt PDF to support your creative momentum.
The community space is available for introductions, check-ins, reflections, and sharing your work if you choose. Sharing is optional. You can participate publicly, privately, or simply use the lessons on your own.
This challenge does not include live coworking, live coaching, or personalized feedback. It is designed to help you build consistency through short lessons, clear prompts, and a warm community rhythm you can return to at your own pace.
What if I do not know what to make?
That is exactly why the prompts are included. They give you a place to begin so you can spend less time overthinking and more time making.
Is this about finishing a final piece?
It can be, but it does not have to be. You may finish one piece, several small works, a series of studies, or a body of experiments. The deeper goal is to build momentum and end the challenge with work you are proud to have made.
What if I struggle with perfectionism?
You are welcome here. This challenge is intentionally built around small daily action, optional sharing, and process-based progress so you can make without needing every piece to be polished.
