Hi, friends! 🤗💫
I'm so happy to finally share something special that I've been quietly building behind the scenes...
I've been working on that project in secret for a long time, and now I am ready to share it with you!
If you've been following my work, you know I've created many brush sets and a few tutorials, but now it feels the perfect time, to start something bigger..💛

The 4-Phase Brushmaking Workflow (Occasional Deep-Dive!) 🥰
Alongside the regular tutorials, the Brush Club also features a special 4-phase workflow. This format is seasonal and optional - used for bigger themed lessons, creative challenges, or events like Brushtober.
It's not the default, not monthly and not requred! Its just a cozy, optional deep-dive into how brushes are made from start to finish.
Here's how it works:
- Phase 1 - Prompt & Inspiration
You can gather inspiration from the given prompt, or from anywhere! This phase is all about exploring ideas and imaging how they could become a brush.
- Phase 2 - Edit your Materials
Prepare your collected materials. Clean up shapes and textures, convert images into brush-ready assets, and get everything organized. You can use your own materials or the files I provide.
- Phase 3 - Build your Brush (Any Program you have/like)
Create the brush in your favorite program - GIMP, Photopea, Procreate, and many more. The program we use for each seasonal lesson will be chosen through community polls or themes. I'll show basic brush settings and how to experiment to find your own style.
- Phase 4 - Overview & Freebie
At the end of each lesson, we look at what we created together. I'll share my finished brush, upload a free download, and highlight some community creatons. You'll also get a poll to vote for the next lesson or challenge.
Creative Themes & Community Polls 
From time to time, I’ll also post a small theme or poll in the group.
If nobody votes, I'll continue with the planned topics, and if you do vote, we'll build the next lesson together, based on your ideas. This makes the workshop cozy and community-driven.
If you'd like to request a program (*) or suggest a tutorial idea, feel free to send me your ideas!
I'd love to hear about your ideas!
