PAINTING OF THE MONTH CLUB
Paint something beautiful. Feel calm again.
Learn to paint from home with clear, guided lessons you can follow
at your own pace.
Flexible. Creative. No pressure.
December's Painting
This month the painting is Cherry Blossoms. It's one of our most loved paintings at the studio. It is calm, beautiful, and full of possibilities. You will paint a soft background in the color of your choice, learning blending techniques, then bring the branches to life with light, shadow, and form. Choose pink, red, or white blossoms, or mix your own colors, and let the painting feel natural and expressive. This one is always a favorite, and for good reason.
If you love this one, don't miss your chance to grab it. It's only available until December 31st and then it goes back into the vault.
What Is the Painting of the Month Club?
Each month you’ll receive online access to one complete painting lesson, filmed start to finish and designed to help you slow down, learn real techniques, and create something beautiful.
You’ll get:
-
A complete step by step video lesson with Bruce, guiding you through each part of the painting.•
-
A straightforward list of colors and brushes, nothing complicated or expensive.
-
The freedom to pause, rewind, and paint whenever it works for you.
-
Full access for as long as you are a member.
-
It’s more than a video lesson. It’s a quiet space that’s yours. A few hours that remind you how good it feels to focus on something real and finish with a painting ready to hang on your wall.
Only 15 euros/15 dollars per month.
No contracts. Cancel anytime. No questions asked.
You don't need more noise in your life. You need a pause.
Does this sound like you?
-
You want to paint but need something that fits your real life, not one more appointment on your calendar.
-
You want calm time for yourself, without noise, pressure, or your phone pulling you away.
-
You want clear instruction that does not rush you or leave you confused.
-
You want to actually learn technique, not shortcuts that fall apart when you try to paint alone.
-
You want to finish paintings that feel good to make and even better to look at.
-
You want guidance you can trust, from someone who knows how to teach adults gently and clearly.
If any of this feels familiar, this is your place to start.
What You Will Learn
Each month, you’ll paint something different with Bruce, a new subject, a new challenge, and a new way to see.
Every painting teaches techniques you can build on, helping you understand how real paintings come together from the first layer to the last touch of light.
You’ll learn:
-
How to mix natural, balanced colors that bring your painting to life•
-
How to build form through layering, blending, and glazing
-
How to use shadow and light to create depth, contrast, and mood
-
How to choose and use your brushes for precision or softness, and in some lessons, how to paint with a palette knife for added texture
-
How to create strong, balanced compositions that guide the eye
-
How to add the final details that make a piece feel complete
-
How to trust your own judgment, see color differently, and paint with confidence
Over time, each painting builds on what you’ve learned before. You’ll start to notice color more clearly, handle your brushes with ease, and feel proud of what you can create.
Each lesson teaches something new, and each time you paint, whether it is your first time with the monthly painting or your fifth, you will keep building real techniques that help you understand color, layering, shadow, light, and composition.
You will learn real techniques, but what stays with you is the sense of progress, the clarity that comes from understanding each step, and the pride of creating something beautiful with your own hands.

About Us
We are Alisa and Bruce, a married couple who have been teaching art and building creative communities for more than thirty years.
We opened our first art school in Los Angeles in 1999, then ran fine art retreats in the French countryside from 2008-2017 and then in 2017 we created Arte Bar here in Barcelona. Thousands of people have learned with us over the years, many picking up a brush for the first time or again after a long time away.
Bruce has taught art for decades and guides people in a way that feels calm, clear, and genuinely helpful. His lessons focus on real technique and understanding, not shortcuts.
The Painting of the Month Club grew from something we kept hearing over and over. People wanted to learn from Bruce but could not come to the studio. Now they can learn from home with thoughtful instruction that builds real skill and confidence.
