Everything you need to paint "Pumpkin Perch"
Most people who want to start painting never do, because the first step is a shopping list. Paints you have not heard of, tools you are not sure about, and a trip to a store where nobody can tell you which one is right.
There is no list here. One box arrives, and you sit down and paint.
- Five 4 oz jars of DabblePaints: Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Red Light, Medium Orange, Titanium White, and Ivory Black.
- Ten blank cards with envelopes
- A mini set of palette knives and brush sett
- Ten paint scoops
- Jen's full "Pumpkin Perch" lesson, filmed start to finish, yours to keep
Ten cards, not one. Paint the first one for practice and the rest for people.
There is enough paint here for many more cards after these ten.
Your hands already know how to do this.
No drawing skills needed for this one. There is no sketching and no pencil.
You scoop up thick paint with a palette knife and press it onto the card. One small dab, then another over the top of it. The tree builds itself out of the dabs. That is the whole technique, and it is the same one I use on work that hangs in galleries.
Your hands have been making beautiful things your whole life. This is simply the next beautiful thing they were always meant to make.
You don't need to find your inner artist. She's already there.
I am with you the whole way.
The lesson is filmed start to finish, from a blank card to a signed one. You see every layer go down, in real time, from my side of the table. Nothing is sped up and nothing is cut.
Pause it. Rewind it. Paint the whole thing in one sitting or come back to it next week. It is yours to keep, so there is no rush and no clock.
Why a card and not a canvas.
I could have started you on a big canvas. I did not, on purpose.
A card is small enough to finish. You sit down after lunch and by the time you get up there is a finished thing on the table with your initials in the corner. That matters more than size does, the first time.
And then there is what happens to it. You give it to somebody. It goes in a drawer, and it stays there. Most cards get thrown out the week after. The ones somebody made by hand do not.
Paint the first one for yourself. You will know what to do with the other nine.
XO, Jen

Water, a paper towel, and a flat surface.
How long do I have the lesson?
It is yours to keep.
What if it does not turn out?
Reply to any email from me and I will sort it out personally. A refund, or a different kit, whatever makes it right. No forms.
