This only happens once a year ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Hello {NAME}, For 7 long years of my life, I didn’t pick up a paintbrush. Despite the fact that I LOVED drawing and painting as a child, a time came when I believed I should put my passion to one side to pursue a ‘sensible’ career. Maybe you’ve had to bottle up your creativity too. It felt harder and harder to make even just a little time to get around to doing the thing I most wanted to do. 🖌️ I told myself I was too busy, and suppressed my urge to create. But we don’t have an ‘off’ switch. That creative energy kept building up inside me. With no outlet, a pressure grew that made it feel almost impossible to start. I wanted to burst but I also felt frustrated and frozen. I desperately needed something to ignite that energy. For me, it happened unexpectedly when I started to garden. I closely observed my plants as I tended them, and planned where to plant seeds. Suddenly I was connected with nature and my visual senses again. I had created a garden. It was simple, but it was the first thing I had actually created in ages. But summer ended. The leaves fell, and then the rain. And then more rain. And by the middle of winter, with more months of waiting impatiently for the garden to come back to life still ahead of me, I had enough. I could ignore the desire to paint and draw no longer. So, one dark winter afternoon as I was watering my houseplants, I realised something with a bolt of joy. ⚡ I’d found my muse: nature. 💚 This was the spark I needed. 💥 I didn’t want to waste another second. I focused my attention on the nature available to me: those houseplants and fruit from the supermarket. I invested in some quality watercolour supplies and set about capturing the detailed beauty I could see on my paper.. After lots of trial and error (and paper scrumpling 🗑️), I developed my own unique painting method that I could rely on to achieve the realistic results I wanted. Once my creativity had been ignited, there was no stopping me. And when spring arrived that year, it was the best EVER, knowing I could savor it by painting it! Within 2 years, I’d won a prestigious award for my paintings. Later, when hard times came, like facing thyroid cancer, divorce and IVF, my creative flame kept burning bright. It really helped me to stay strong through those times. Fast-forward to today, and I’ve now taught my watercolour technique to thousands of people around the world. I pass on everything I learned from my steep, paper-crumpling learning curve. Over 16,000 members have developed skills with me, learning my reliable method that lets them paint along with me, and move on to paint limitless subjects on their own. What lights me up even more than creating, even more than teaching the skills, is passing on the spark. It’d be an honour to pass it on to you too, {NAME}. 💥 Once your creativity is ignited, there’ll be no stopping you. Where all that pent up creative energy was stored, you’ll discover a new capacity you didn’t know you had. Making space in your life for artmaking will feel easier. You can become a more skilled painter, more quickly than you imagine. I really want to make 2023 a far better year than you’d thought possible.

I’ll leave you with some words and photos from some of our members. They were all in your shoes not so long ago, and they’re delighted to have taken the plunge: "I have learned so much from being a part of this school. I am often hard on myself and judgmental about my paintings, but when I take a moment to look back at what I was creating before I joined the school, I am amazed. You can see the difference between my lady slipper orchids and my cupcake. No need to tell you which one is more recent. Anyone can learn how to paint. My time spent painting is relaxing, fulfilling, and joyful. Thanks, Anna."  - Karen "To anyone considering joining Anna’s school, I can only say, "Give it a go!" I had always wished I could paint and believed that I would never be able to. A client showed me a painting she had bought from someone who had started painting at age 78 and so I thought there was hope for me. I bought… some cheap paints and paper. I signed up to the school and I was away! The tulip I painted in Jan 2021, 2 months after joining Anna’s school and I’ve continued to flourish."  - Di "I paint with 2 other ladies on Thursdays at my house. I recruited them!! They are part of this marvelous school… This would not have happened without Anna and the fantastic support from the team and wonderful tutorials starting from the very beginning. We paint at different levels. We enjoy each others’ achievements and we share our work freely. We have made monumental progress over a year together… All three of us started at mostly beginner level painting. We are in awe at the level we are painting now. Our eyes and muscle memory are so much more advanced to see and paint. We are so grateful!" - Peggy I really hope you’re feeling sparked to give this a go, {NAME}. 💥 It’s time to harness your creativity and show the world the real you.
