PICTURE THIS

Your granddaughter walks into your living room, freezes, and gasps:

“Grandma… that’s ME!”

That moment?

That’s what happens when you paint portraits of the children you love instead of copying strangers’ photos from paint-along videos.

You’ll learn the same method professional portrait artists rely on to capture a true likeness — with one special twist that keeps your painting completely original from start to finish.

WHAT’S BEEN GETTING IN YOUR WAY

You’ve watched the paint-along videos on YouTube.

You followed every step… and still ended up with someone else’s child on cheap paper, tucked in a drawer.

You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.

THERE’S A BETTER WAY

Without spending years in art school learning anatomy and color theory.

Without wasting money on classes that teach you to copy someone else’s style.

Without that “why doesn’t mine look like theirs?” frustration after every demo.

Even if you’ve never painted a portrait before.

Even if you think portraits are “too hard.”

Even if your family thinks your art is “just a hobby.”

THE SIMPLE SECRET

There’s a method that lets you paint realistic watercolor portraits of your own grandchildren — from your own photos — with results that actually look like them.

Professional artists have used it for years. They just haven’t been teaching it to beginners… until now.

WHO I AM — AND WHY YOU CAN TRUST ME

I’m Cindy Bale Tanner, a watercolor portrait artist who wins ribbons for her work.

After retiring from a forty-year corporate career, I returned to art. Within a few years, my portraits were being exhibited and awarded — including eight shown at the San Clemente Art Gallery in 2025.

Most online portrait courses teach you to copy the instructor’s photo.

You end up painting someone you’ve never met.

I’d rather help you paint someone you love.

WHY IT MATTERS

When you paint your grandchild’s face, they see themselves through your eyes.

Your family finally sees you as the artist you’ve always wanted to be.

Because you deserve to fulfill that lifelong creative dream —

and your grandchildren deserve portraits painted by someone who loves them.

EVEN IF YOU’RE STARTING FRESH

You can do this even if you’ve never mixed a skin tone, drawn a likeness, or picked up a brush since middle school.

WITH THIS SYSTEM YOU’LL BE ABLE TO

• Paint a lifelike watercolor portrait of your favorite grandchild.

• Understand what makes a portrait feel “real.”

• Become the family’s go-to portrait artist.

• Say yes when friends start asking for commissions.

HOW IT CAME TOGETHER

In July 2025 I taught Cindy’s No Frills Watercolor Child Portrait Workshop live on Zoom.

I recorded every session, added short bonus lessons and intermediate demos, and included templates for when friends start asking you to paint their grandkids.

And because not everyone remembers their watercolor basics, I bundled in Cindy’s No Frills Beginner Watercolor Workshop – The Replays as a free refresher on wet-on-dry, wet-in-wet, gradients, and texture.

YOU COULD TRY TO PIECE IT TOGETHER YOURSELF…

You could spend years scrolling videos and reading books, wondering why your portraits never look quite right.

Or you can use the exact process I refined through trial, error, and hundreds of brushstrokes — ready for you to start today.

FIVE THINGS YOU’LL DISCOVER INSIDE

The Transparent Watercolor Formula for luminous, lifelike skin tones (no more mud).

The Great Likeness Shortcut professionals use that has nothing to do with perfect drawing.

The Reference Photo Selection Method that makes every painting easier before you even begin.

The Portrait Planning Worksheet to track progress when life interrupts.

The “Is It Done?” Checklist that tells you when to stop.

HERE’S THE DEAL

This course combines my live workshop, new lessons, watercolor refreshers, and commission templates — all trimmed to what actually works.

No fluff. No filler.

Just the step-by-step process I use for my own award-winning portraits.

I’VE MADE THE MISTAKES SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO

(Like the time I gave a baby five o’clock shadow — never again!)

You’ll have a tested process plus 180 days of email coaching — like having a portrait coach who truly wants you to paint your grandchildren.

LET’S TALK MONEY

Two hundred ninety-seven dollars doesn’t buy much that lasts anymore.

It’s a weekend getaway, a trip to the salon, or another cart of things you can’t remember buying.

But this? This isn’t fleeting.

It’s a keepsake — a watercolor portrait your grandchild will treasure long after the toys, clothes, and gadgets are gone.

It’s the kind of heirloom your children will hold someday and say,

“Grandma painted this.”

And for something that lasts a lifetime, $297 feels like a bargain.

(But please don’t steal it. I still need to pay for brushes, paper, and a little thing called electricity.)
