INTRODUCING:

 Creative Breakthrough Blueprint 

 

This is an 8-week transformational art program designed to teach you the tools to create powerful, personal abstract art — and to connect your creative process with a mindset that brings your unique voice to life on the canvas.

Rooted in over 30 years of experience as a licensed teacher, counselor, award-winning artist, and gallery owner, this one-of-a-kind program blends technique with soulful exploration. You'll learn foundational abstract art skills, uncover your personal creative rhythms, and finally feel confident creating work that’s meaningful, expressive, and 100% YOU.

Who is Creative Breakthrough Blueprint for?

  • Artists of all levels that want to learn more about abstract art and finding their artistic voice from experienced to total novice.
  • Anyone and everyone who has ever dreamed of creating.

You feel the calling to create, to paint powerfully from your heart in a way that is uniquely you.

 What's stopping you? 

  • You feel insecure about your artistic abilities. You want to create wildly with abandon and courage but you feel like you don't have the tools you need.

  • You are overwhelmed with where to start. The blank canvas feels like a ball and chain and you need a roadmap to begin your creations.

  • You are stuck and alone in the process, not sure how to get out of your rut but know you need to do something different. You need a guide, and a community to support you- a blueprint to show you the way.

 

Meanwhile, time passes, none of us are getting any younger, and you are discouraged, wondering if you will ever get there...

Fiona | London, England

I was working with oil paints, timidly moving paint around...I wanted to learn skills and gain confidence. Lisa's course asked me questions I hadn't thought about before that immediately gave me a clear understanding of the process, and my work blossomed in astounding ways. My work feels meaningful to me, which is the biggest gift of all. I know exactly what to do so I don't get so stuck.  I'm having so much more success  and fun, because I'm not so worried about the outcome.

Debbie | Portland, Maine

One of the main things that's so great about Lisa's program is the group dynamic. I didn't realize I'd bond so deeply with the other participants. Lisa is by far the best teacher I have had anywhere- ever. She is so incredibly skilled at making everyone feel  comfortable, heard, accepted. She gently opened the door for us to connect in real, vulnerable and meaningful ways in a way that I had- in all my 66 years and schooling- never experienced before. I was able to connect with other artists who are beginners like me, and others who are professionals. I've made life  long meaningful friendships, and found my creative voice. Worth every penny and more.

James | San Francisco, California

Before Creative Breakthrough Blueprint, I was feeling lost, demoralized a bit actually  by living a life that wasn't really true to myself.   After? I'm confident, exuberant even in my art making. I am much clearer on what I'm doing art-wise, and I completely see the connections with my art and my life in general. Since taking Lisa's course in 2020, I have been working full time as an artist and making a living making art. In my wildest dreams, this would be my life. Thank you Lisa!!

Suzanne R. | New York, New York

It's true that this course was an investment IN MYSELF. An investment in my future creative self, my mental health. In my belief that I could be an artistic and connected person. An investment in my future connections with like minded creative souls. An investment in the knowledge that I am capable of expressing myself beautifully through art I hadn't discovered yet.
Once I understood this, the financial investment was a no brainer.and as a retired social worker I don't have a huge income. Lisa is super generous with her materials, and she gives YEAR'S access to the course. I find myself watching and rewatching, gaining new information each time.
When I think about all the less than wonderful programs I have bought before and wasted my money on, this class was a bargain for what you get. I am so glad I made the leap. My life is totally different since joining. I feel calmer, more engaged and connected, and completely in love with painting everyday. 

Virginia | Woodstock, Georgia

Not all teachers and courses are created equal. I get so much in the way of support, information and technique from Lisa Mann's instruction. She inspires me to find my inner muse, and let my own creativity flow.! Lisa's calm clear approach is comprehensive and intuitve. I've tried a few other courses by various artists and soon realized that not every talented artist is also a teacher. So happy to have found her among the multitude of artists out there offering courses on line.

Nita | Fredericksburg, Virginia

If you are looking for a jumpstart in your creative endeavors, look no further than one of Lisa Mann's classes. She is generous with her comments and advice to help you travel further in your journey without being restrictive. I've taken several classes from her, and as a retired teacher, I can spot a "good one" a mile away and Lisa fits all the criteria. She is knowledgeable and open minded with a full range of resources, she never makes you feel inadequate, even when you do less than stellar work, she always has a kind word of encouragement to all without being condescending. To watch her paint is therapaeutic and inspiring. Can you tell I'm a lifelong fan? I've never met Lisa but I consider her a good friend! Love ya, Lisa!

Alli R. | Sausalito, California

I would encourage anyone to shop around and realize that finding your own 'art tribe' and art teacher that speaks to you is so important. It's just like having the courage to create your own and unique art the way that Lisa teaches in her classes. The year before I found Lisa, I took a class with a competitor of hers. No joke, it was over twice the price, and while the material was good, it lacked all of Lisa's heart and soul (not to mention he enrolled over 1200 students and employed coaches to teach instead of personally being involved.)
When you enroll with Lisa, she personally teaches every student and limits enrollment. So instead of being on a zoom with 1200 people and a hired coach, I was on a call with just 10 others and LISA and got lots of support.

It is clearly a labor of love as she charges half the price of her competitor. I am so happy I listened to my gut and took the plunge. I have finally found my art tribe, full of heart and soul ,and Lisa's personal support.
