Structure
Meets Freedom

Just enough structure to start. All the freedom to paint like you.

How it Works

1. Skip the Prep

Be ready to paint as soon as the mood strikes. Simply mount or tape up your starter canvas then break out the paint.

2. Pick your Starting Point

Choose loose, simplified shapes to help train your eye or more detailed, structured canvases that offer extra insight and guidance.

3. Work on What Matters

Stress less about drawing and composition. Spend more time having fun, playing with paint & finishing a piece you're proud of.

Two Ways to Start

After offers two styles of underpaintings to choose from. Both will help you paint with more confidence. The difference is in how much freedom you want — and how much support you’d like along the way.
