The Finish Line: Complete Your Art with Confidence

A 4-day live challenge to help artists overcome creative blocks, build momentum, and finally finish their artwork, without overthinking or perfectionism. Live sessions offered most months. Check out details here for our next live session!

The Finish Line: Complete Your Art with Confidence

Live May 28–31 | Limited to 20 artists

Program access: May 28 - June 10

You’re not alone. Artists around the world quietly battle the same creative friction:

  • The idea looks better in your head than on paper.
  • You get bored or distracted halfway through.
  • You worry you’ll “ruin” the part you like.
  • You walk away and never come back.

You’re not lazy. You’re not undisciplined. You’re stuck in a cycle that keeps you from finishing your art, and it’s time to break free.

Welcome to The Finish Line, a live, four-day challenge that helps you build creative momentum and finish your art with confidence, on your terms.

💡 What if you could…

  • Show up even when your art feels messy or uncertain?
  • Know exactly how to keep going when a piece feels “stuck”?
  • Start trusting your process—and yourself—again?

You don’t need more time. You don’t need to wait for the “right” idea. You need one brave mark.

✨ The Transformation

By the end of this challenge, you’ll have:

✅ Reclaimed your focus and energy, even if life is messy
✅ A nearly completed artwork (or a clear path forward for finishing)
✅ Tools to stay creatively engaged, no matter your mood or motivation
✅ Confidence in your process, even when it’s imperfect
✅ A plan to keep going long after the challenge ends

🗓 Daily Schedule & Flow

This is a LIVE program, but you don’t have to attend live.
You’ll get replays and materials daily, and are expected to participate over the four days on your own timeline if needed.

Day 1: One Brave Mark

Shift from hesitation to momentum.

We’ll use a 15-minute prompt and a simple mindset reset to help you stop overthinking and just begin. You’ll also receive a printable workbook to support your daily reflections and decisions.

Day 2: Your Creative Compass

Learn how to keep going, even when it gets uncomfortable.

You’ll uncover your core motivation as an artist and create a personalized “Creative Compass” that will help you push past the doubt, mess, and boredom that typically makes you stop.

Day 3: Knowing What’s Next

Develop your intuitive creative roadmap.

You’ll learn a strategy to stop at a place that gives you direction for your next session. You’ll walk away with three reflection questions that help you know what to work on next, and avoid the dreaded “Where was I again?” moment.

Day 4: Done Is Better Than Perfect

Wrap up and move forward, with momentum and peace.

We’ll talk about when a piece is done, why it matters to finish, and how you can call something “complete” and actually mean it. You’ll finish with clarity on how to repeat this process for future works.

🎯 This is for you if…

  • You have stacks of unfinished pieces you used to be excited about.
  • You’re tired of second-guessing and overworking.
  • You want to create with more consistency and less judgment.
  • You crave creative community, encouragement, and structure.

💬 What Artists Say About These Struggles:

“I get to the ‘ugly stage’ and then lose my confidence.”
“I second guess myself and stop. Then I don’t want to go back.”
“I’m scared to finish because then I have to do something even better.”
“I keep starting, stopping, forgetting where I left off. It feels like, ‘why bother?’”

Let’s rewrite that story, together.
