Not at all! This program is designed to be accessible for complete beginners while still offering value to those with more experience. Our focus is on developing sustainable creative practices that feel authentic to you, not achieving technical perfection.

Materials kits will begin shipping from February 1st via Express Post. Postage times according to Australia Post are 2 - 18 days worldwide.

We'll send you tracking information as soon as your kit is on its way. While delivery times vary by location, shipping early in February gives you the best chance of having your materials in time for our Workshop.

If your kit arrives a bit later, don't worry! You'll have lifetime access to the Workshop recording and can revisit the techniques again and again. You can also participate with materials you likely already have around the home.

No problem! You can still participate fully using basic supplies you likely have at home:

• Any notebook or paper

• Regular pencils or pens

• Basic coloured pencils or markers

• Simple watercolours if you have them

Many participants actually enjoy going through the Workshop content twice - first for learning the fundamentals, and again to explore the techniques with their professional materials. Plus, all program content remains accessible after the 21 days, so you can revisit everything at your own pace.

The program is designed to fit into your life, not take it over. We recommend setting aside:

• 15-30 minutes daily for creative practice

• 90 minutes for the weekly group calls over three weeks

• One full day for the Travel Sketching Workshop

  Remember, this is about progress, not perfection. Even five minutes of creative practice can make a difference.

We have three live 90-minute group calls on Zoom where you can connect with other creatives, ask questions, and receive additional support from Nicola. All times are in Brisbane, Australia time. You can convert your timezone here

All sessions are recorded and shared within 24 hours. You'll have lifetime access to these recordings, allowing you to participate at times that work for you. The Travel Sketching Workshop recording is particularly valuable for future reference.

Absolutely! We focus on developing gentle rhythms that feel natural, not rigid routines. You'll learn to identify what works best for you and create flexible practices that adapt to your life's changing needs.

While we do focus on accessible art techniques like sketching and watercolor, the principles and practices we explore apply to all forms of creativity. The routines and habits you develop can support any creative pursuit you're drawn to.

You'll receive support through:

• Weekly group coaching calls

• Full-Day Travel Sketching Workshop via Zoom

• Private online group for daily connection

• Creative Hearts Community
  
  We're committed to helping you succeed in developing your creative practice.

There's no such thing as "behind" in this program. While we provide a structure, you're welcome to engage with the materials at your own pace. Everything is available for you to revisit whenever you need it.

This program goes beyond teaching art techniques. We focus on developing sustainable creative practices, building supportive routines, and creating lasting change in how you approach creativity in your daily life. The community support and coaching elements help ensure these changes stick.
