Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship

Online Immersion | January 18 - April 25, 2024 | LIMITED to 10 ARTISTS

Make art with more depth, meaning, and magic

What Is The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship?

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is a 3 months, online immersion for artists that are yearning for more depth, meaning, and magic in their creative practice.

As your mentor, I will guide you on a journey through the deeper currents of your creativity where you will shed limiting beliefs that bind your Artist Soul and discover the wisdom that lives within your, unique mark-making and creative practice.

Through weekly small group mentoring calls, online learning modules, and check-ins you will:

Create a body-of-work that possesses your unique voice, style, and message.
Strengthen your connection to your Artist Soul by doing MORE of what you love and returning to alignment with your creative rhythms.
Devote yourself to your creative practice and begin to untangle your relationship to fear and resistance.
Gain the confidence and language to speak about your work with clarity.
Write a powerful artist bio and artist statement that reflects the essence of your work.
Sink into the deeper currents beneath your creativity and art making.
Learn how to view, organize, and curate your body-of-work into cohesive series and collections.
Be a part of a small, creative community mentored and guided by Connie Solera.

How does the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship work?

For the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship you will create a body-of-work using materials and substrates that you love and resonate with the most. So please use what you feel the most called to and/or comfortable with.

In addition to the materials and substrates you choose for your body-of-work, you are encouraged to have the following as well:

A sketchbook or notebook you can use as a studio log and for taking notes.
An art journal dedicated to contemplating the weekly topic with.
THIS MIXED-MEDIA PAD for doing creative exercises.

These weekly calls are THE BEST part of the Mentorship and attendance to these weekly calls is required for you to receive the most benefits possible from the Mentorship.

The calls are recorded and yours to keep.

How much work can I expect each week?

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is designed to meet each artist exactly where they are in their artistic journey and life circumstances. Each artist's experience with the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will look and feel different. Though, here are a few things you can expect around the workload:

Every Thursday is a live Zoom call that will last 2.5 hours. Expect to add some time before hand to prepare and get yourself settled in.
Expect to spend approximately 1.5 hours per week reviewing the weekly learning module.
Expect approximately 2-4 hours a week completing the reflection and homework invitations presented in the weekly learning modules.
The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is designed for you to spend more time in the studio and less time online. Each week you will need to tend to your own creative practice. The amount of time you spend on this will depend on your unique creative process and life circumstances. In the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship we focus on creating a long-term sustainable practice, so there is attention placed upon not overextending yourself and being aware of habits and behaviors that can lead to creative burn-out.
Depending on your level of comfortability and interest, expect to spend anywhere between 15 minutes to a few hours sharing and communicating in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship classroom each week. Having a nourishing, supportive community is essential to being an artist, but in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship we will enforce creating strong, healthy boundaries around how you commune with the online community and online art world in general.

Do I need previous art experience or training?

To participate in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship it is highly recommended that you have at least one to two years of creative practice under your apron. To fully receive all the benefits and magic of this mentorship you must be comfortable, or at least eager, to work more independently as an artist.

Formal training in the arts is NOT required.

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is NOT a typical class or workshop. This is a mentorship where I will provide guidance, support, encouragement, and accountability -- as well as an intimate, personal look at my own process as well through weekly learning modules.

What type of technology do I need?

A computer or mobile device with connection to the internet. A high-speed connection will help reduce possible frustration.
A working email account that you are familiar using.
A free Zoom account and a webcam that you use to connect to Zoom.
A free membership to my Paint Wisdom Studio hosted on Mighty Networks.
All videos in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship are hosted on Vimeo and are best supported by the up-to-date version of the following browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, & Internet Explorer.
You need to be comfortable with basic technology skills – primarily accessing videos, taking photos of your work, and posting your photos to the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship classroom.

Is Connie available to answer questions and provide feedback?

How long do I have access to the weekly mentorship content?

How does the PF Mentorship differ from the PF retreats?

Well, first the obvious: the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is a three-month, online immersive. My Paint FEARLESS® retreats are 5 days, in-person retreats.

In both programs I guide you on the amazing adventure of creating a body-of-work and nourishing your Artist Soul, but in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship we take the time to go much, much deeper through weekly learning modules and individualized mentoring.

What if I have no idea what I want to create/paint?

What if I struggle with calling myself an artist -- can I still join?

Before joining the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship what is most important is that you feel a true desire to strengthen your creative practice and create art that reflects your own voice, style, and interests. You do NOT need to know what your style or voice is before joining the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship. Nor do you need to identify yourself as an artist as well.

Though, I'll warn you, the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will have you thinking and feeling different once we are done! ❤️
