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 theirs.
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.
Let Me Introduce Myself
My name is Cindy Bale Tanner.
I’m an artist, an art business coach, and apparently someone who turns 71 and decides to celebrate by gathering as many aspiring artists together as I can.
(Most people get a cake. I built a community. Different strokes — pun absolutely intended.)
For years, I’ve had the joy of watching talented, creative, passionate women step into their own original style. They come to me full of heart and stacks of watercolor paper. Together, we work on leading their own brush, making their own decisions, and creating work that’s entirely theirs.
That transformation is my favorite thing to be part of.
What Makes This Community Feel Different
This isn’t a place where you follow along and log off. It’s a warm, living community of women on the same journey: figuring out their style together, celebrating each other’s original work, and genuinely rooting for one another.
And it’s a wonderful fit if:
✔ You’re craving connection with other aspiring artists who get the joy (and the wobbles) of this path
✔ You’ve been painting for years and are ready to discover your own developing style
✔ You’ve tried other courses and memberships and are ready for something that feels like a true community
✔ You’re not sure what your style is yet — that’s exactly what we figure out together
Inside the Community, You’ll:
Make original art as you find your unique style.
Share your work proudly instead of explaining it away.
Walk into any gallery, competition, or art fair knowing the work on the wall is yours: style, composition, and all.
Offer commissions with confidence, backed by a contract template and the skills to deliver something worth commissioning.
Build a basic art business around work that’s authentically yours.
How This Community Came to Be
In fall 2024, I ran a series called “Paint Your Way To…: Artists From Around The World Share Their Lives In Exclusive Interviews.”
I watched aspiring artists light up hearing real artists share their real journeys: the struggles, the breakthroughs, the pure creative joy. I wanted that spark to have a home where it could keep growing, surrounded by real coaching and real community.
So I built the Artist Journey Community™.
Four to Eight 90-minute live gatherings on Zoom every month: Saturdays and Mondays, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time where you share your work, ask questions, get answers, and connect with people who truly get it.
Every membership includes my signature course, “Create Your Own Original Art” — which sells separately for $797.
Here Are 5 Things You’ll Discover Inside:
🔥 The exact process for planning an original painting from scratch, so you always know where to start
🔥 How to know, with confidence, when a painting is actually finished
🔥 The tools that keep your art original and in your own style, every time
🔥 Ready-to-use templates for a Certificate of Authenticity, an Invoice, and a Commission Contract, so you’re ready when opportunity knocks
🔥 What artists who’ve built real careers have in common, and how to apply it to your own journey

My Promise to You
Show up. Engage with the community. Go through the curriculum. Bring your work to the coaching calls, or send it to me by email. Give it a genuine try, and you will take real, positive steps making original art as you find your own style.
Why Only $22/Month or $220/Year?
Because I’m 71, and I’d rather welcome a full community of aspiring artists growing together than keep this small. You’ve already invested in supplies, in courses, in years of your creative life. This is what turns that investment into something you can stand behind, surrounded by people who are walking this path with you.
Let’s Talk Coffee For a Second
$220 for the year works out to about 60 cents a day. That’s less than a single coffee a week for four live coaching calls a month, a complete curriculum worth $797, and a community that celebrates your original work with you.
One More Thing
You’ll have paintings that don’t turn out the way you hoped. Every artist does: even the ones with gallery shows and thriving art businesses. The difference is having people beside you to help you figure out what’s next. That’s exactly what this community is for.
This Is Your Moment
Your style, your original art, and a community ready to celebrate it with you: all of it is waiting.
