Paint to Pixel Is Live, and Life Got Busy

Last week, my Paint to Pixel course officially went live, and if I’m being completely honest, the weekend flew by before I had much time to properly celebrate or promote it.

Between family life, a very full sewing schedule, and a busy shop, the launch quietly happened in the middle of everything else. And while part of me wishes I had carved out more time to talk about it right away, another part of me knows that this is exactly how I work. Creatively. Organically. In real time.

Because of that, I wanted to do something special for my blog readers and newsletter subscribers. I’ve decided to extend the insider deal for Paint to Pixel through the end of this week. If you’ve been on the fence or meaning to take a closer look, this gives you a little more breathing room to join in. Just add to cart using the links in the post & the discount will be applied automatically.

I’ve already loved seeing who has signed up, and I genuinely cannot wait to see what you create. This course was built to be approachable and practical, something you can return to again and again as your skills grow.

This week, my main focus is on a Found and Made Upcycle Bonnet Drop. It’s one of those seasons where my sewing machine is running nonstop, and I’m fully immersed in fabric, texture, and slow construction. But alongside that work, I’ve also been painting.

I’ve been quietly developing new hand-painted patterns using the same process I teach inside Paint to Pixel. Starting with traditional materials. Paint on paper. Then, bringing those pieces into the digital space to refine, build, and expand them into usable assets.

That’s one of the things I love most about creating e-courses like this. As I use these skills in my own business, I can show you exactly how they translate into real-world applications. How your hand-drawn or hand-painted artwork can move beyond the page and become something more. Patterns. Digital products. Design elements that grow with you.


Paint to Pixel isn’t about chasing trends or forcing productivity. It’s about learning a method that allows your artwork to live in more than one place, in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

If you’ve been curious, now is a good time to join. And if you’re already inside the course, thank you for being there. I can’t wait to see what you bring to life.

With love and creativity,

Carrie

    I fell in love with watercolors when my son Elliot was born. That was over 10 years ago & since then I have picked up a paintbrush numerous times which has now morphed into an Apple Pencil. Along with SAA I am a surface designer for other brands as well as our own line of merchandise. This blog is a place for me to share every stroke of my "brush" & let you know what's up & coming
