Can I share something with you? When I decided to dive head-first into the art world in hopes of turning my passion into a career, I was scared out of my mind. There was no how-to step-by-step guide on how to become a full-time, profitable, self-represented artist. But fast forward to 5 years later: I did it. I can say with confidence that I am a professional artist supporting my family with a 6-figure art business. 

It took a lot of learning, trial and error, mistakes, and late nights, but here I am. I am living proof that you CAN be an artist and make GOOD money. You don’t have to be the stereotypical “starving artist” that people imagine when you tell them “I’m an artist.” I no longer dread people asking the question, “So, what do you do?” I have full confidence when I share that I am, in fact, a full-time artist running a THRIVING and profitable business!

Curious how I made it happen? 

Introducing Crash Course Academy 

A self-tailored curriculum that will tangibly help you reach your art business goals and dreams.

It features:

• Comprehensive Crash Courses covering the step by step how-to’s of the art world.

• A library of teaching videos from Brynn (and some guest experts!)

• detailed corresponding PDF guides to help walk you through each video + reference later on.

• Lifetime access to your course content that can be pulled up anytime, anywhere.

My heart behind creating the Crash Courses was to be generous and share topical, digestible, and practical outlines on the topics I’m asked about most frequently by other artists. These course topics are:  

Materials Nitty Gritty

Shipping 101

A Look into a Year of Launches + How to Plan Collections

Structuring Your Day as an Artist + Pricing Structure

Prints and Products

Social Media + Email Marketing

Commissions, Shows, and Client Relations 

Content Strategy

Each of the 8 courses will cover the topics in extensive detail, and includes a corresponding teaching video as well as a deeply informative PDF guide/worksheet to keep by your side as you work through the course. One-on-one Zoom consulting calls with me will be offered in limited quantities if you purchase a full bundle of courses! 

Pricing + Details 

My goal was to make these Crash Courses attainable and diverse;
truly a “something for everyone” deal.

That is why I decided to create a tiered pricing structure. 

Not every artist who needs help with shipping their artwork also needs guidance in marketing or content creation.
Not everyone wants to learn about how to make prints, but they may really want to know about the materials I use. I get it! 

The courses will be available for purchase à la carte, with some price breaks and add-ons as you hit certain numbers. 

TIER 1 — A LA CARTE

Choose whichever courses work best for you! Single courses are served to you à la carte at $149 a piece. 

This tier includes:

PDF worksheets for each guide purchased as well as the corresponding teaching video.
This tier also comes with a complementary comprehensive resource guide (think swag, framing and more!) for your reference! 

TIER 2 — BUNDLE FOR A DISCOUNT

If you purchase 5, 6, or 7 courses, I’m offering a price break! Courses in this tier are priced at $125 a piece. 

5 courses for $625

6 courses for $750

7 courses for $875

This tier includes ALL of tier one + access to the price break! 

TIER 3 — FULL COURSE ACCESS

If you purchase all 8 courses, they will be served to you in a package bundle for $1399.

This tier includes everything from Tier 1. The difference is that the first 20 people who sign up for this tier will get the added benefit of a 1 hour Zoom consulting call with Brynn (!!!).

Once our 20 consultation seats are gone, this tier will be priced at $1000 for all 8 guides.

This tier includes ALL tier one goodies, plus, if you’re within the first 20 sign ups, a 1 hour zoom consulting call with Brynn, pre-call questionnaire, and a follow-up action plan.
