THE FAQs. THE ONLY THING WE LEAVE HANGING IS THE ART

Absolutely! We get it - circumstances change. You can cancel your monthly subscription at any time. (Of course, we’d be sad to see you go - but you can always re-join in the future).
Absolutely! We believe that connecting with other like-minded artists is key to a fulfilling creative journey, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet other inspirational members in our private Facebook community.

This is entirely up to you! We know that life is busy, so we’ve made sure our lessons are bitesize, and easy to fit into a demanding schedule. Whether you have five minutes to spare or an entire weekend to get lost in a canvas - ARIE has something to get your creative juices flowing.
Both! ARIE is an evolving, creative playground, where you can learn exciting new techniques…and be continuously inspired by our world-renowned artists. Whether you’re brand new to abstract art, or an established artist - you’ll find something to add to your self-expression toolbox (and be able to adapt it to the level you’re at).
The awesome thing about abstract art is that there is no prescribed list of supplies that you HAVE to have. As you continue to make art, you’ll learn which supplies speak to you - and which you can live without. As a minimum, you’ll need something to paint on - and something to paint with. A good starting place is some pre-stretched canvases to paint on, acrylic paint in a few basic colours, and a few good brushes to paint with. You can also use many household items as creative tools - you really can make the most of what you already have lying around your home.
The truth is: EVERYONE experiences this. Despite what you might see on Instagram, creating abstract art from the heart doesn’t mean you’ll always create something you love. This really is a journey of trial and error, and embracing the ‘error’ is how you learn to uncover your own unique style. Although the discomfort of disliking what you create is an unavoidable part of art-making, we’ll help you shift your mindset so that frustration becomes an incredibly powerful source of inspiration.
