March Focus
I’m so excited for this month — we’re taking a little trip back to where it all began!
Before the Progress Not Perfection Masterclass, I created a few beginner-friendly programmes that shaped everything I do now.
First up: Dotting Designs — not my very first step, but a big part of my journey in sharing Folk Art painting with the world.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more of those early creations with you. Whether you’re new or just love the basics, I think you’ll enjoy seeing how it all started.

About this course
This month’s journey is made up of four inspiring steps, each revisiting a key moment in Carol’s mission to make Folk Art painting accessible to all. From the simple joy of dotting to the confidence-building brushstrokes and breakthrough kits, each week offers a fresh perspective and a chance to reconnect with the foundations of creativity. I hope you enjoy going back to where it all began with me.
