You set your finished portrait on the table at the next big family gathering.
Your family members gather around.
Someone says, “Who painted this?”
You smile and say, “I did.”
Your granddaughter says, “No way, Grandma!”
You look at her with love in your eyes and say, “Oh yes I did, kiddo! I love you.”
That moment feels a thousand times better than doing a paint-along of a stranger.
You know the drill:
Your favorite artist flashes a finished portrait, a reference photo, a drawing and some colors.
You dash around your art space doing screenshots and grabbing supplies.
You frantically try to keep up.
You end up with a half-finished painting of a stranger.
You add it to your stack of unfinished paintings.
But there’s a better way!
Presenting “No Frills Watercolor Child Portraits - The All Frills Edition”, the ONLY online course that teaches you how to paint a watercolor portrait of YOUR favorite child.
You’ll:
- Finish with a portrait that feels personal, frame-worthy, and yours
- Learn to pick your best reference photo
- Get lifetime access to a repeatable process for capturing a great likeness in your watercolor portraits
- Select values and colors to make your subject stand out
- Use a one page worksheet to track all of the decisions that make your portrait truly yours!

When you paint a child you love, something changes:
- Your brain notices details you’d skip with a stranger.
- You push through the messy middle because you trust the process.
- And you finish because you actually care about the outcome.
I’m Cindy Bale Tanner, an award-winning watercolor portrait, abstract, floral, and plein air artist.
I won multiple ribbons for my “Paint Your Way To…” artist portraits earlier this year.
But I used to be the person with a pile of abandoned paintings. I took every course, followed every tutorial, and still quit halfway through. I gave away the ones I did finish with credit to the paint-along artist.
Once I discovered how to work from my own photos with a plan for a great likeness, everything changed, and now I’m offering you all my shortcuts to save you time.
