I’m opening up a special monthly membership for people who want lots of great high quality art technique tutorials. There are currently 224 lessons waiting in the archive, with 1-2 new lessons being added each month.
What is the MAP Technique Vault?
The MAP Technique Vault is a steady online source of ideas for your art practice, whenever you need it. There are five categories of lessons you’ll receive immediate access to:
- Creativity Sparks
- Art Materials
- Art Techniques
- Studio Vlog
- Q&A Livestreams
In addition to the vast library of content, you’ll also get 1-2 new videos each month that you’re a member.
Creativity Sparks Are Meant to Ignite Your Creativity
Creativity Sparks are short videos that are meant to do exactly what the title says: spark your creativity. It’s an idea, a technique, a prompt for when you’re just not sure what to do or are feeling a bit lost. Here are a few examples of the videos you will find in the Creativity Sparks archive:
A small creative nudge can interrupt overthinking and get you moving before doubt has a chance to take over. Sometimes all it takes is a prompt or spark to shift you from hesitation into action, where ideas can actually begin to grow.
Understanding Art Materials is Key to Artistic Success
Understanding your materials isn’t just technical—it shapes what’s possible in your work. When you know how a material behaves, you can make more intentional choices instead of reacting to surprises or limitations. That knowledge builds confidence, expands your range, and allows your ideas to come through more clearly because you’re working with your materials, not fighting them. Here are a few examples of the lessons you can find in the Art Materials section of the MAP Technique Vault:
Art Techniques Help You Solve Problems
Understanding art techniques gives you a language for making. Techniques offer different ways to approach a surface, build an image, or develop an idea so that you’re not starting from scratch each time. Here are some of the Art Technique videos that are currently available as part of the MAP Technique Vault:
The more techniques you have at your disposal, the more options you have for solving problems, pushing your work forward, and finding the approach that best serves what you want to express.
Studio Vlogs Offer Insight
Studio Vlogs offer a window into how ideas and techniques actually unfold in practice. By watching decisions, adjustments, and even mistakes in real time, you see not just what to do, but how an artist thinks through the process. That kind of behind-the-scenes insight can spark new approaches and help you apply techniques more fluidly in your own work. Here are some of the Studio Vlogs currently available to members:
Q&A Livestreams
The deep archive of Q&A Livestreams give you access to a wide range of artist questions and challenges, many of which you may not have thought to ask yourself. By hearing problems articulated and worked through, you gain new perspectives, practical solutions, and ways of thinking that can shift your own approach. Check out some past livestreams:
Topics covered in livestreams are entirely dependent on the questions asked by members. Some are technique questions. Some are philosophical questions. Some are questions about art supplies or sourcing. All questions are welcome!
