Picture this: you sit down at your art table, and instead of feeling alone with a blank sheet of watercolor paper, you know a whole community of aspiring artists is right there with you: cheering you on, sharing their own works-in-progress, celebrating your wins right alongside their own.

That’s what it feels like inside the Artist Journey Community™.

Here’s What I Want for You

I know what it’s like to love painting and still feel a little unsure of yourself in front of a blank page. I’ve felt that too, even after decades with a brush in my hand.

What changed everything for me wasn’t more technique. It was having people around me, real artists, real coaching, a real community, who helped me find my own voice and believe I was allowed to use it.

That’s exactly what I built the Artist Journey Community™ to give you.

Hi, I’m Cindy Bale Tanner

And yes, I’m turning 71, which feels like the perfect moment to gather as many kindred artist spirits together as I can and celebrate.

I’ve spent years working alongside aspiring artists, watching them go from quietly following tutorials to confidently creating work that’s entirely their own, and I’ve built a whole community around making that shift feel supported, joyful, and doable.

What Makes This Community Feel Different

This isn’t a place where you show up, follow instructions, and log off. It’s a warm, living community of women who are all on the same journey, figuring out their style, cheering each other on, and genuinely celebrating each other’s original work.

And it’s a wonderful fit if:

✔ You’re craving connection with other aspiring artists who truly understand the joy (and the wobbles) of this path

✔ You’re ready to discover your own developing style — with support, not pressure

✔ You’ve never made an original painting before, or you have and want to go further

✔ You’re 71, 51, 31, or anywhere in between — this community welcomes you exactly as you are

Inside the Community, You’ll:

🎨 Create original art in your own developing style, with real support along the way

🖼️ Build a growing body of work you’re proud to show, enter in competitions, and sell

💼 Learn the simple business basics: pricing, invoicing, and commission contracts, so saying yes to opportunities feels exciting instead of scary

🤝 Be embraced by a community that celebrates your original work as much as you do

📈 Grow month after month, alongside other artists who want nothing more than to see you thrive

How This Community Came to Be

After my fall 2023 “Paint Your Way To…: Women Share Their Lives As Artists In Exclusive Interviews” series, something beautiful happened.

Aspiring artists from all over the world reached out: inspired, energized, and ready to take their next step. I wanted to give that spark a home where it could keep growing, surrounded by encouragement and real connection.

So I built the Artist Journey Community™.

Four live 90-minute gatherings on Zoom every month on Saturdays and Mondays, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time — where members share their work, get coached, ask questions, and enjoy genuine artist “me time” with people who truly get it.

Every membership also includes my signature course, “Create Your Own Original Art”: a step-by-step path to confident, original painting. This course sells separately for $797.

Here Are 5 Things You’ll Discover Inside:

🔥 The “Artist Journey Toolbox” Method — how to develop the visual language that’s uniquely yours

🔥 The “Painting Is Done” Test — the framework for knowing exactly when a painting is finished

🔥 The Original Art Planning Process — how to start a painting from your own vision and reference, with confidence

🔥 The Art Business Basics Bundle — a certificate of authenticity template, invoice template, and commission contract, so you’re ready when opportunity knocks

🔥 The Inspiration Injection System — drawing fuel for your own creative growth from real artist stories, including interviews with Angela Fehr, Don Weller, Camilla Damsbo Brix, and more

Here’s What This Is Going to Cost You

The “Create Your Own Original Art” course alone sells for $797.

The Artist Journey Community™ annual membership — with four live coaching gatherings a month, the full curriculum, and your community of fellow artists — is normally $470 per year.

One Last Thing

This community works best when you let yourself be part of it by showing up, sharing honestly, and trusting the process even on the days your painting doesn’t go as planned (every artist has those days, including me).

On the other side of that openness is something wonderful: art that’s yours, a style that’s yours, and a whole community of women cheering you on.

This Is Your Moment

You’ve been dreaming about this for long enough. Let’s paint alongside each other — for real this time.
