Do you hoard your art supplies?
I have definitely been known to save my precious supplies until JUST the right project… That never comes. (And also, I’m watching you!) 😂
And I can pro-task-inate with the best of them! Errands. Kids. Jobs. Laundry. So. Much. Stuff.
But we still need to make art!
Take it from them!
“Unused creativity isn’t benign. It metastasizes.”
If you can’t stand the thought of another day going by wishing you made something, the AHA Membership is here to…
Motivate and inspire you to make art
Give you permission to USE YOUR ART SUPPLIES
Help you find that so satisfying relaxation that art can give you!

Have we met? Hi, I’m Josie!
I’m a lifelong full time artist who loves color, process and fun! I’ve also written a book on color mixing, had my line of art materials on sale at Michaels across the USA and Canada, been a college art professor, had my art collected around the world, and my art process videos have had more than 1 billion views. (Dude. What???) You can find me everywhere as @josielewisart and I hope you say hi!
I’ve also taught thousands of art-curious creatives in workshops and online courses, and I love inspiring people to take bold moves for their art passions!

I like how Josie explains the different mediums and how she came to settle on a few brands that were her favorites after trial and error.

The Thick Acrylic Painting course inspired me and gave me the confidence to express my creativity and try something new!
My first tries weren’t perfect, but I watched the videos again as I was trying the techniques and I have created several thick paintings I love, with plans to create more. Thank you so much for creating a course that is so easy to follow and refer back to.

FAQs
-
AHA works kind of like Netflix, in which you have access to the content as long as you are a member. This is more affordable and flexible than buying the courses ala carte. It is easy to join, and we make it easy to cancel when you need to!
-
The courses in the program are centered around watercolor and acrylic paint. Each course has some specific products you may need to get to complete the projects, like a gel plate and rollers in Hip Gel, or acrylic mediums in Thick Acrylic. Each course has thorough supply lists included so when you know where you want to start, you’ll learn exactly what to buy.
Josie believes strongly that pricey art supplies are not necessary to making art (and may even prevent free and open creativity because we’re concerning about wasting it) so most of what you will need is affordable and easy to source.
-
Most of the course materials is geared towards beginners and is suitable for kids (age 10 or so and up). The courses can also be great for a more experienced artist who wants to learn some new skills and tricks from Josie.
-
As long as you are a member in good standing, you will have unlimited access to all the materials inside the membership.
-
This is a self-directed program, and there are no guidelines for how much or how little you use the program. You can binge watch it all, or you can do a project or two a month!
-
We make it easy to cancel! You will be charged monthly for access, kind of like a Netflix subscription, and opting out is simple. If you cancel, your membership will terminate at the date of your renewal. Because of the digital nature of the program, no refunds will be given.
