Get Better At Art Every Week
You’re Teaching Yourself Art And You Want To Keep Getting Better
But as a self-taught artist, the motivation to create on a consistent basis and knowing how to apply random YouTube tutorials to your actual work is hard.
Practice turns into bursts of production followed by long lulls, and the skills you’ve picked up online don’t always feel connected to what you’re making.
More often than not, when you finish a piece and step back to look at it, you feel like something about it could be better — but you’re not sure what, so you move on to the next one and the question goes unanswered.
You’re Creating Art In A Vacuum And You’re Consistency And Skill Level Are Suffering
The Problem Is
When you create art alongside other artists, you make something → you get a response → you adjust → you apply what you learned to the next piece.
When you work alone, your creative process stalls at the first step.
You keep producing, but your work is never tested, so you stay stuck at your current skill level and motivation comes and goes.
Mentors And A Community To Push Your Art And Keep You In A Steady Flow Of Creating
Inside Art Club, you get a community to share your work, ask questions about supplies and techniques, and get feedback from professional artists. You’ll get live group mentoring sessions to hear critiques on your work so you know exactly what to work on, and what’s already working.
Art Club Gives You
Hi, I’m Clara Lieu (aka Prof Lieu) –
And I’ve Helped Artists Of Every Age And Skill Level Improve Their Art.
I spent 16 years teaching foundation-level courses at RISD and other top art schools. These courses are where many artists learn the basics: drawing from life, color, composition, and how to look at their own work and decide what it needs. It’s where they get to ask the one question every artist throughout history has asked: Is this any good?
Since then, I’ve coached artists at every level through Art Prof, and one thing kept coming up. Self-taught artists around the world were showing up in my DMs, emails, and comments asking the foundational questions university students get to talk about every week. They had the drive to create, but nobody to guide their skills or look at their work.
I built Art Club to fix that.
Today, [NUMBER] artists have joined our community to get mentoring, share work in progress, and improve their work alongside professional and fellow artists.
Whether you’re just getting started, coming back to art after raising a family or retiring, or you’ve been teaching yourself for years and just want to keep getting better, there’s a place for you in Art Club.

“One of the biggest benefits was having my portfolio reviewed before submitting it to a gallery. That feedback was instrumental in helping me secure gallery representation.
Beyond the professional growth, Art Club is simply a lot of fun. It’s an inspiring community of artists who genuinely want to see one another succeed.”
-Raven
“I just got my first invitation to be featured in an exhibit! I am so blown away!
In Art Club, I have the support of other artists as well as the teaching staff to help me make progress quickly on my work. Getting feedback in real time during live group mentoring sessions has been immeasurably helpful.”

Everything You Need To Grow As An Artist, Week After Week
When You Join Art Club You Get
Weekly Live Group Mentoring
Join any of the live voice calls that run four days a week with me and a team of professional artists. Share your work, hear critiques, and talk through ideas. Sessions rotate through different days and times so members from around the world can join.
2 Prof Lieu Critiques Every Month
Twice a month, you’ll get dedicated critiques from me on the pieces you’re working on. I’ll tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and what to try on your current or next pieces. This is the valuable coaching that most self-taught artists are missing in your daily practice.
A Community Of Fellow Artists
Get direct access to me, the teaching artists, and your fellow Art Club members on a private Discord channel. This is where you can post work in progress, ask questions, get tips on supplies and techniques, and brainstorm with other artists.
Art Club Study Plans & Prompts
Follow a study plan that organizes the fundamentals taught in art school, from drawing and color to art history and contemporary art. Then put it into practice with Art Dares, creative prompts that keep you making and give you finished pieces to share.
Access To Monthly Workshops
Get access to regular workshops with professional artists to learn new techniques and try new materials. You can use what you learn on your own pieces and bring them to the next critique (this is a great way to test your skills and challenge yourself).
Live Streams & Video Library
Watch live streams and browse the Art Prof video library whenever you want a lesson on a specific medium, technique, or topic. It’s the same teaching I did in the classroom, available on-demand wherever you are.
PLUS! You’ll Start With A 1-On-1 Onboarding Call With Me
Jumping into a new community can feel like a lot. Every member of Art Club starts with a private call with me, so you’re never left wondering where to begin.
Talk about your goals. Tell me what you want from your art, and we’ll figure out what to focus on first.
Share where you are now. Show me your work, from finished pieces to messy sketchbooks, and tell me where you feel stuck.
Get set up with confidence. I’ll walk you through how Art Club works, from the live mentoring schedule to the community, so you know exactly where to jump in.
Ask me anything. Questions about the community, your art, or what to try first? This is your time.
Testimonials
“When I first found Art Prof, I’d just introduced art into my life and all I could do was follow beginner watercolor tutorials fairly competently. The growth I’ve made in the last two years has been phenomenal. I’m really excited about what I’m making now, and starting to feel confident about my process.”
-Butter
“I made my first print sale! Art Club helped provide me with the motivation to push my shop launch over the finish line. When I was stuck on something I was able to post my question to the group instead of using ‘thinking on it’ as a reason to procrastinate.”
-Rose
“I have only been in Art Club for a short time, and already I feel so grateful for all the artists and teaching staff who have made the experience so lovely! Now, with Art Club, every time I join a voice call, I walk away with new insight and inspiration!”
-Jules

Over Your First 12 Months In Art Club, I’ll Help You Build A Practice You Look Forward To Every Day:
You know what to work on next. Between live group mentoring and two Prof critiques a month, you’ll have professional eyes on your work regularly so you can stop guessing if it’s any good.
Your practice holds up through busy weeks. Showing up to a community that expects to see you makes consistency easier, and nobody counts the days you skipped.
The skills you’ve picked up finally show up in your own work. Study plans give you the fundamentals in a clear order, and Art Dares give you prompts to apply them to your pieces.
You can see yourself improving. You’ll share work month after month and have an actual record to look back on to see your progress.
You’re surrounded by people who get it. Our members share finished pieces, unfinished pieces, and everything in between, so you’ll have people cheering you on no matter what state your work is in.
You feel like an artist. With feedback, encouragement, and a place to share your work, the imposter syndrome finally goes away and calling yourself an artist gets easier.
Opportunities find you ready. Members have finished first murals, sold first prints, and been invited to exhibit, and they had work on hand because they kept making it.
Testimonials
“I know that all the learning I’ve done with Art Club the past two years has had an enormous impact on my art. Not only have I gotten much stronger in art fundamentals, but I’ve learned so much about the business side of art, and have received so much encouragement in Art Club that I finally felt brave enough to dip a toe in.”
-Coffee
“I had already been making art for some time, but I often got caught up in discouraging thoughts and wondering if I was doing things ‘right.’Art Club helped give me structure and direction in how to go forward, which I feel I desperately needed.”
-Jen
“I had a customer return for more illustrations and the order was the biggest one I’ve ever had. Ever since I joined Art Club, I’ve become way more confident as an artist. It’s been amazing to have a private community where I know it’s a safe and supportive environment to ask for advice and critiques.”
-Luna
