Five Weeks of Brand-New Animal Paintings, Live Lessons, Community, and Fun

Have you ever looked at a beautiful animal painting and thought, “I’d love to paint that, but I wouldn’t know where to begin?”

This August, Bruce will show you.

Join Bruce for five creative weeks as you complete three brand-new animal paintings, enjoy a free Mystery Animal Bonus Lesson, and discover how much more confident painting can feel when you have clear instruction and an encouraging community beside you.

You can paint along live each week or watch the lesson first and complete it when you’re ready. Every class will be recorded, and you’ll keep the lessons and replays for life.

About the Challenge

Spend five weeks enjoying brand-new animal painting lessons, live instruction, community, and fun with Bruce.

Each week, you can paint along live or watch the lesson and return to the replay when you’re ready. Every class is recorded, and you’ll keep the full challenge and all replays for life.

You’ll also enjoy fun giveaways, connect with other painters, and share the experience with Bruce’s Silver Membership community.

The Challenge Includes

  • One live painting lesson each week
  • Recordings and replays of every lesson
  • Lifetime access to the complete challenge
  • Fun giveaways
  • Access to the Bruce on Art community
  • The option to paint live or follow along later

Throughout the challenge, Bruce will break each animal into manageable stages, guide you through the uncertain parts, and show you how small adjustments can transform a painting.

By the end of the five weeks, you’ll have created a collection of animal artwork that once may have felt beyond your reach.

Brand-New Lessons Created for This Challenge

These aren’t lessons pulled from the existing Bruce on Art library.

Bruce is creating three complete animal painting projects specifically for the August Animal Painting Challenge, along with a free Mystery Animal Bonus Lesson during the final week.

You’ll receive five weeks of fresh instruction, new techniques, and new opportunities to surprise yourself with what you can create.

Goldfish


Week One

Start with a vibrant Goldfish as Bruce guides you through color, movement, and the details that bring your painting to life.

Cow


Weeks Two & Three

Take your time with this expressive Cow painting, taught across two lessons so you can build each layer and detail with confidence.

Horse


Week Four

Capture the beauty and character of a Horse as Bruce breaks the painting down into clear, approachable steps.

Mystery Bonus Week


Week Five

End the challenge with a surprise! Discover your Mystery Animal and enjoy one more brand-new painting lesson with Bruce.

What You’ll Get

Feel Prepared Before You Begin


You won’t have to guess what you need or how to get ready for each lesson.

Before the challenge begins, you’ll receive the resources and instructions you need to feel prepared, organized, and excited to paint.

 
 

Everything You Need for the Challenge

Your challenge materials will include:

  • A complete materials checklist
  • Printable reference photos and lesson resources
  • Preparation instructions for each painting
  • Information for registering for the live lessons
  • Access instructions for the Bruce on Art community

You can gather your supplies, print your references, prepare your canvas, and begin each week knowing exactly what comes next.

TESTIMONIALS

Many students begin a lesson wondering whether the subject is too difficult or whether they’ll be able to keep up.

Then they follow Bruce one step at a time.


With clear instruction, patient guidance, and encouragement from the community, painters create artwork they’re genuinely proud to finish and share.

What Students are Saying

Melissa

My first painting with Bruce! Absolutely, hands down, loved it! (I'm sad I'm so late in discovering him in my art journey)

Deb

Just finished "What a Hoot" online workshop! Super fun!

Patti

Loved painting this one Bruce! Thanks for the awesome day!

Meet the Bruce on Art Community

Painting becomes even more enjoyable when you share the experience with people who understand how exciting, challenging, and rewarding the creative process can be.



Throughout the challenge, you’ll paint alongside Bruce’s Silver Membership students and participate in the Bruce on Art community.

You’ll be able to share your progress, meet other painters, celebrate finished artwork, and see the many different ways each person brings the same animal to life.



Your painting won’t look exactly like anyone else’s, and it shouldn’t.

Each piece will reflect your own brushwork, decisions, personality, and growing creative voice.

Learn, Paint, and Have Fun


This challenge is all about trying something new, enjoying the painting process, and seeing what you can create alongside Bruce and the community.

A little friendly competition makes it even more exciting. Share your progress, cheer on other painters, enjoy fun giveaways, and celebrate each finished piece along the way.

Complete your challenge by [DATE] and receive one free month of Bruce on Art’s Silver Membership, giving you even more time to keep painting, learning, and creating with Bruce.

Meet Bruce


Bruce believes learning to paint should feel encouraging, understandable, and enjoyable.

He breaks complicated subjects into smaller, manageable parts and shows you how to move through each stage without becoming discouraged.

Rather than asking you to copy every brushstroke perfectly, Bruce teaches you how to observe, make decisions, correct what isn’t working, and allow your painting to develop naturally.

Whether you’re painting an animal for the first time or building on skills you already have, Bruce will guide you with patience, clarity, and the belief that you’re capable of more than you may realize.

Make This the Summer You Surprise Yourself


Imagine reaching the end of the challenge with a colorful Goldfish, an expressive Cow, a beautiful Horse, and a surprise animal you once weren’t sure you could create.

You don’t have to wait until you feel completely confident before you begin.

Confidence grows each time you sit down, pick up your brush, and keep painting.

Join Bruce for five weeks of brand-new animal paintings, live guidance, encouraging community, fun giveaways, and lessons you’ll keep for life.
