Have you ever wanted to paint more…
but found yourself stuck wondering what to paint — or not following through?

You save tutorials.
You think about painting.
You want to paint…

…but it just doesn’t happen as often as you’d like.

Introducing:

The Studio

formerly the ipaintedthat challenge

A watercolor-focused, landscape-inspired space to paint consistently, explore creatively, and grow into your own style — alongside other painters.

This is your place to come back to your practice.

Join the Studio

The real reason you’re not painting consistently

It’s not because you don’t care.
It’s not because you’re not motivated enough.

It’s usually much simpler than that:

You don’t know what to paint
You overthink your reference
You wait until you “feel inspired”
You end up painting… less than you want to

What changes everything

When you remove that friction…

When you don’t have to figure out what to paint…

When you see other people showing up…

When you have a simple rhythm to return to…

you start painting more

And when you paint more:

you improve
you gain confidence
you start finding your own style

WHAT THIS IS

The Studio is a simple, supportive space designed to help you actually show up and paint — consistently.

It gives you:

direction when you need it
flexibility when you don’t
and a community of people doing it alongside you

So you’re not relying on motivation…

👉 you’re building a real painting practice.

If you've been painting but don't see improvement, I bet these feel familiar ...

You hesitate every time you choose a color.
You mix a lot of mud
You’ve been painting for a while, but your colors still fall flat.
You own lots of paints… yet somehow feel limited.
You rely on tutorials because making your own color decisions feels risky.
You know color matters — but it feels confusing, academic, or overwhelming.
You’ve wondered if color is “the thing” holding you back.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You struggle with what to paint

You want to paint more consistently

You’ve followed tutorials, but want to grow beyond them

You want to improve — without pressure or perfection

You like the idea of painting alongside others

You want a balance of structure + creative freedom

You don’t need to be advanced.

You just need to be willing to show up.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND INSIDE

Monthly Paint-Along Sessions

A live, guided watercolor landscape each month.

You show up, paint with me, and actually finish something — with space for questions if you need help.

Reference Library + Weekly Inspiration

A growing collection of reference photos you can paint from anytime.

Plus optional weekly inspiration if you want a gentle nudge.

No pressure. No “falling behind.”

Community Space

This is where the magic happens.

Share your work, see how others interpret the same references, and stay inspired by people who are actually painting.

You’re not doing this alone anymore.

Hi, I’m Juliene!

A watercolor artist and color educator.

For years, color was the part of painting that held me back too. I could follow tutorials, but when I painted on my own, I hesitated. Things felt harder than they should have.

Finally, after a literal lifetime of painting and years of struggling to sell my art, or create art that resonates with people, I hunkered down to learn color and that’s when everything changed.

I got my art into a gallery the very next year, and grew my IG to over 40k within 2 years helping folks understand and apply color.

I could paint faster and with more confidence. It was like the lights had finally been turned on.

I approach color with both creativity and structure, so it finally makes sense - and actually sticks.

I created Color Week for you because I would have struggled a lot less had it been available to me back then!

Quarterly Creative Sessions

Occasional sessions focused on things like:

finding your style

building a painting habit

creative exploration

reviewing artwork

So painting turns into…

Following countless tutorials
Buying courses you meant to take
"Collecting" and relying on pre-mixed tubes
Saving color recipes
Using your "artistic intuition", which doesn't seem to work
Mixing mud and staying confused ...

Color Week is designed to change that because you can’t just be told “use these colors” without being told how they work!

One of the problems is ...

Tutorials teach imitation - not understanding

They train your eye - but not your judgment.

Tutorials are great for inspiration, but terrible for decision-making.

They tell you:

What color to use
Where to put it
For that specific tutorial

But not:

Why it works
How to adapt it
How to make your own decisions after the tutorial

So the moment you’re on your own, you’re back to guessing.

Or maybe you're "collecting" pigments and relying on pre-mixed tubes instead of learning how to mix ...

And your paintings still don't quite look right.

That's because pre-mixed tubes:

Ruin the harmony of your painting, so the colors don't look like they belong together.
Restrict you to that color instead of free you to make your own.
Are sold as the solution to your color woes, when in fact they hold you back.

Color Week frees you from your reliance on pre-mixed tubes, tutorials, color recipes, and courses that sit on the shelf.

Whichever way ...

You’ve tried learning color before, and it didn’t stick.

You may have even tried “painting intuitively” - trusting your instincts - only to end up frustrated, second-guessing, and stuck.

And maybe you’ve noticed this pattern:

You understand something while watching …
but when you sit down to paint alone, the confidence disappears.

That’s not because you’re lazy.
And it’s not because you “lack motivation" or talent ...

It’s because passive learning doesn’t create real skill.

Real skill is created by knowledge and active learning.

What is Color Week?

Color Week is a one-of-a-kind, immersive 5-day live experience, followed by a month of live support, where you’ll learn how to think about color - not just copy it.

Color Week will walk you through through the steps to achieve Color Freedom - no matter where you're starting from!

This isn’t about memorizing color theory.
It’s about understanding color well enough to use it confidently in your own work.

No matter the medium. No matter the subject.

Each day builds toward one goal:

👉 moving you from confusion → clarity → confidence.

No more disjointed bits and pieces of color learning - you need the full picture.

Imagine what changes when color finally makes sense

Instead of guessing,
you understand:

Why a color works
How to fix it when it doesn’t
How to mix intentionally -
not desperately

Instead of
hesitation, you feel:

Confident starting a painting
Calm making color decisions
Excited to experiment
without fear

Instead of relying on tutorials, you:

Trust yourself
Paint more freely
Feel like a real artist - not just someone following steps

This is what I call Color Freedom.

Color Freedom is the the ability to observe, plan, choose, mix, and adjust color with confidence - without guessing, copying recipes, or constantly second-guessing yourself.

Sounds good, doesn't it?

This is what you'll learn during

Color Week.

When & how Color Week works

Why Color Week is different

Most color education:

Feels abstract
Stays on paper
Never fully connects to painting

Color Week is:

Applied - color theory tied directly to painting decisions
Structured - so concepts finally click
Supportive - you’re not figuring this out alone
Transformational - not just informational

You won’t just learn about color.

You’ll learn how to use it.

Why Color Week is different

Most color education:

Feels abstract
Stays on paper
Never fully connects to painting

Color Week is:

Applied — color theory tied directly to painting decisions
Structured — so concepts finally click
Supportive — you’re not figuring this out alone
Transformational — not just informational

You won’t just learn about color.
You’ll learn how to use it.

Plus, the time is NOW

Color Week is:

Live - you show up, not “someday”
Interactive - you’re not learning in a vacuum (and you also don't need to share your work if you don't want to)
Guided - you have real access to a real teacher
Time-bound - momentum is built in

You don’t just consume information. You apply it while it’s fresh, with support.

This is how understanding turns into confidence.

Why this matters more than ever ...

We’re living in a world that moves fast, automates quickly, and rewards efficiency and disconnection over presence.

Painting asks something different of us.

It slows us down.
It requires judgment, perception, and choice.
It demands that we see and feel - not scroll.

Color, especially, is deeply human. It can’t be automated. It can’t be copied perfectly. It can’t be taught or chosen for you by AI. It has to be understood and practiced - by your human Self.

Color Week is an invitation to step out of the noise and reconnect with the kind of learning that actually changes how you create.

Color Week is a human, analog, creative counter-movement to a noisy, automated world.

Who Color Week is for:

Color Week is for you if:

You paint with pigment based mediums (beginner to intermediate)
You’re sick of mixing mud
You want to understand color instead of guessing
You’re ready to move beyond copying tutorials
You want to feel confident painting on your own
You've tried using your "artistic intuition", but it's not getting you to the next level
You understand that if you want your artistic skill to improve, you need a solid color foundation - and you're willing to practice.

You do not need:

A fine art background
Expensive supplies
Natural talent
Years of experience

Just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

MYTHS You Don’t Need to Believe About Color Anymore ...

MYTH #1

“Color mixing is specific to brands or mediums.”

Truth: Color theory mixing is NOT specific to brands and mediums. What you'll learn during Color Week are the same principles and color system I have used to create (and sell) acrylic paintings, watercolor paintings, and murals. After Color Week, you'll be able to apply color theory and mixing to ANY type of art you encounter.

MYTH #2

"Learning color theory will slow me down."

Truth: You paint slow right now because you don't understand your colors. Understanding applied color theory speeds you up.

MYTH #3

“I'm a beginner and I need to master color theory before this will help me”

Truth: Color Week will shave off YEARS on the color struggle bus. Most painters struggle for too long because they aren't taught how to use
their colors.

MYTH #4

“I’m just not intuitive with color”

Truth: Color principles are NOT based on intuition or preference. Successful artists don't follow their intuition, they are taught the systems behind successful colors - systems YOU can apply, too.

MYTH #5

“I’ve tried learning color before and it didn’t stick”

Truth: The problem wasn’t you - it was passive learning and not the full color system. Watching videos or following tutorials teaches imitation, not skill. Color Week is live, applied, and guided - so understanding actually sticks.

MYTH #6

“This won’t apply to my style”

Truth: What you'll learn in Color Week will support your style, or help you find your style if you haven't found it yet. That's because you'll learn how to make your own color decisions.

MYTH #7

“I should just paint more instead”

Truth: Painting more, or focusing on technique, without understanding colors just reinforces bad habits. Practice without clarity often leads to muddy colors and frustration.
