You Can Paint

You Can Paint is for absolute beginners of all ages. Learn to paint and fall in love with painting.

Why you should join: Online painting classes with traceable design templates, hosted by David and Chris Brandt, early pioneers of the paint and sip studio. Free to join.

The one-liner

A free online painting party for beginners, from hosts who once ran paint and sip studios.

What they actually sell

You Can Paint, run by David Brandt, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "Artist, teacher David Brandt has taught over 50,000 absolute beginners learn how to paint." It is free to join. David and Chris Brandt run online painting classes that each come with a printable, traceable design template, pitched as a painting party for all ages. They were early paint and sip studio owners, with four retail studios by 2015 and more than 50,000 beginners taught. Inside sit 5 courses.

Who pays and why

Absolute beginners and friends who want a fun painting night at home. The hesitation is being sure they cannot paint. They join for online painting classes with printable, traceable design templates.

Where the members come from

The Skool lander and David Brandt's own teaching appear to be the main acquisition path. Public social links are thin on the about page, so growth reads as community-led rather than a giant media brand. Exact follower counts stay off the about page.

What's holding it back

Everything is free on the page, with no visible paid step. A business built on retail studios now needs a reason online for people to pay.

Steal this

Include a traceable template with every class, so beginners finish a painting they are proud of.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other social crafts such as pottery painting or candle making. Weak for serious fine art.
