Turn a Blank Canvas Into the Most Impressive Painting in the Room
(Even if you've never made art before)
(With easy-to-follow steps, you'll create a textured tree of life artwork – at your own pace, in your own home)
Now imagine...
Sitting down to paint on a quiet afternoon and losing yourself completely in the process
Stepping back and seeing a painting so beautiful you can hardly believe you made it
Running your fingers across the canvas covered in soft, dimensional leaves, you shaped with your own hands
Hanging it in your home and feeling something shift — like the place just got a little more meaningful
And here's the thing – none of this requires talent, experience, or a single artistic bone in your body. Just a willingness to begin.
Why Most People Never Try This
(and the reason you should)
Most people who see a painting like this assume it was made by a professional with years of training.
They don't realise the leaves are shaped by hand – one at a time – using a simple tool and a material called texture paste.
Most people don't realise there's no special skill involved.
No drawing. No painting experience.
Just a process, followed step by step.
And because they don't know that, they never try.
They admire it on someone else's wall. They scroll past it online.
They think "I could never make something like that" – and move on.
But the truth is, this is one of the most forgiving techniques in art. The texture does the work. Your hands do the shaping.
And the result looks far more impressive than anything that went into making it.
Most people never discover this – not because they couldn't do it, but simply because they never tried.
I almost didn't either. But I'm glad I did.
A Few Design Variants
This workshop comes with a collection of 22 templates and reference images – same technique, different designs – so once you've made your first painting, you can keep creating new ones.
Let Me Introduce Myself
My name is Michael, and I almost missed this entirely.
I spent years working behind a camera – filming, editing, producing.
I loved the craft, but something was missing. I wanted to make something with my hands.
Something that would still be there on the wall long after the project was finished.
I discovered texture paste almost by accident.
I saw a painting online – dimensional, captivating, alive – and couldn't figure out how it was made.
When I finally worked it out, I couldn't stop.
The process was meditative. The results were stunning.
And the feeling of stepping back and seeing a finished painting I'd made with my own hands – that was something I hadn't felt in years.
I kept creating. I kept experimenting. And eventually I started teaching – because I realised this technique was one of those rare things that looks complicated from the outside but feels surprisingly natural once someone shows you how.
That's what this workshop is.
Me, showing you how to do this.
Well over 1000 students have now created their own textured paintings through Wait What Art. Some had painted before. Most hadn't.
What they all had in common was that they weren't sure they could do it – until they did.
The Tree of Life felt like a natural next step. It's the most meaningful subject I've taught yet.
And I think once you've made one, you'll understand why.
The Textured Tree Of Life Art Workshop
A step-by-step workshop that takes you from empty canvas to a dimensional Tree of Life painting – layering texture, colour, and depth into a piece that feels as meaningful to make as it is to display.
Along the way, you'll learn the exact techniques that make every stage feel natural and satisfying – turning simple creative moments into the most impressive painting you've ever made with your own hands.
Now let's get into the details:
Module 1
Choose Your Design Direction
Before you touch a single tool, you get to make this painting yours.
Browse the full template collection and choose the design that speaks to you – then pick a colour palette that feels personal and fits your home perfectly.
Discover the full template collection – multiple tree designs each with their own mood and character, so you can find the one that feels like it was made for you
Learn why the direction your tree leans changes the entire feeling of the painting – and how to choose the one that belongs in your home
Find out how a single colour decision transforms the same tree design from calm and neutral to warm and golden to bold and seasonal
Learn the simple "line trick" that transfers your chosen design perfectly onto any canvas size – no drawing skills, no guesswork, no frustration
Module 2
Tools, Materials & Techniques
Everything you need to know before you make your first mark.
You'll see that the tools are simpler than you think, the materials are easy to find, and the techniques feel surprisingly natural from the moment you try them.
Get a clear printable checklist of every material you'll need – so there's no guessing, no wrong purchases, and no interruptions once you start
Learn which palette knife does what – and why the right shape in your hand makes every stroke feel confident and natural from the very beginning
Discover how to shape texture paste into leaves, bark, and background texture – three completely different results from the same simple material
See why mixing colour directly into the paste creates something completely different to painting over dried texture – and how knowing the difference gives you total control over your finished piece
Module 3
The Sketch, Background, and Tree Outline
This is where your blank canvas becomes something you can feel excited about.
By the end of this module you'll have a textured background and a clearly defined tree waiting to be built – and the satisfaction of knowing the hardest part is already behind you.
Put the line trick from Module 1 to work – transferring your chosen design directly onto the canvas accurately and confidently, no drawing skills required
Discover how to create a rich, textured background that feels alive – while keeping your tree design clean and protected underneath
Learn how to work around the main shapes of the tree without losing them – a technique that makes the whole painting feel intentional from the very beginning
See how one final reinforcement step locks in your tree outline – so when you pick up the texture paste in the next module, you know exactly where every branch and root belongs
Module 4
The Trunk, Roots & Branches
This is where the tree comes to life.
The trunk, roots, and branches are the soul of this painting – and this module is where you'll discover that building something this dramatic is far more intuitive than it looks.
Find out why the most important tool in this module isn't a palette knife – it's something you almost certainly already have in your kitchen
Learn how that same tool and a palette knife work together to create something that looks sculpted, organic, and completely hand-crafted
Discover why the imperfections in your strokes aren't mistakes – they're exactly what gives the trunk its natural, living character
Learn the one thing most people get wrong when building up texture – and the simple technique that gives you dramatic, dimensional results that hold their shape permanently
Module 5
The Textured Leaves
This is the most satisfying part of the whole painting.
One by one, each leaf takes shape under your hands – and somewhere in this module, you'll look down at your canvas and realise you're making something truly beautiful.
Discover the simple motion that shapes each leaf – a technique that feels awkward for about thirty seconds and then becomes completely instinctive
Learn how to vary the size, angle, and overlap of your leaves so the canopy feels natural and alive rather than repetitive and flat
Find out how negative space between the leaves is just as important as the leaves themselves – and how leaving room to breathe makes the whole painting more dramatic
Learn why mistakes in this process are never permanent – and the simple way to correct, reshape, or start any part of it over without losing what you've already built
Module 6
Color, Details & The Finished Painting
This is where everything comes together.
The texture is built, the structure is set – and now you add the colour and final details that transform your painting from beautiful to breathtaking.
Discover how adding colour to dried texture creates a completely different effect to anything you've tried before – and why this step feels like the painting is suddenly waking up
Learn the simple techniques that add depth, shadow and warmth to your trunk, roots, and leaves – making the whole painting feel dimensional and alive
Find out how a few final details in exactly the right places take your painting from finished to truly complete
Discover the "fresh eyes" technique – the final step that tells you with complete confidence your painting is truly finished
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a finished Textured Tree Of Life painting you can proudly display – and the confidence to create more whenever inspiration strikes.
The Workshop: $129
But for this first launch, I’m opening the workshop at a special early price.
Here’s why…
This is the first time I’m offering this workshop publicly, and I want to give real attention and support to the first students who join the experience.
That’s why I’m limiting this first round to just 100 students for only $47.
My goal is to make sure the first group feels fully supported, inspired, and proud of the artwork they create throughout the process.
Once those first 100 spots are filled, the price will most likely increase for future students as the workshop grows.
So if you’re seeing this page while spots are still available, this is the best opportunity to join at the launch price before it changes.

The workshop alone will give you everything you need to create your Tree of Life painting. But I've also included these to make every part of the experience – from the very first decision to the moment it goes on your wall – as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Bonus #01
The Tree of Life Template Collection & Inspiration Guide
Before you pick up a single tool, this guide hands you a creative vision. Inside you'll find a full collection of tree designs – each one ready to transfer straight onto your canvas. Different shapes, different compositions, different moods.
Browse multiple tree designs – each with its own character, so you can find the one that feels like it was always meant for your wall
See how different compositions change the entire feeling of the painting – before you commit to a single mark on the canvas
Choose between portrait and landscape orientation – a single decision that changes the entire presence of the finished painting on your wall
Draw inspiration from a curated collection of real artist paintings – so you can see exactly what's possible and walk into your first session with a clear creative vision
You won't start this workshop staring at a blank canvas, wondering what to do. You'll start it already excited about what you're about to create.
Bonus #02
The Tasteful Color Combinations Guide
The right colours can make your painting feel calm and timeless – or warm and golden – or bold and full of life. This guide makes sure you choose with confidence.
Inside you'll find a carefully curated collection of colour combinations that work beautifully with the Tree of Life style – paired with a short guided video showing exactly how to use this information.
Browse a curated collection of colour palettes that work beautifully with the Tree of Life style – from calm and neutral to warm and golden to bold and seasonal
Discover how different shades of the same colour create depth and dimension – and why this single concept changes the way you see your whole painting
Learn the basic colour theory principles that explain why certain combinations feel harmonious, and others feel off – so every choice you make feels intentional
Discover why colour is always subjective – why two people can look at the same palette and feel something completely different, and how learning to trust your own eye is where your personal style begins
Because the right colour doesn't just complete the painting – it makes it feel like it could never have been anything else.
Bonus #03
The DIY Floating Frame Guide
A great painting deserves a great frame. And a floating frame transforms a canvas into something that looks like it belongs in a gallery.
This guide shows you how to build your own floating frame at home – without any special tools or woodworking experience.
Discover what a floating frame is and why it makes textured paintings look dramatically more finished and professional than a traditional frame ever could
Learn exactly what materials you need and where to find them — everything is available at your local hardware store for a fraction of the cost of a custom frame
Follow a simple step-by-step process that takes your finished painting from canvas to gallery-ready in a single afternoon
Find out how to choose the right frame colour and finish to complement your painting — so the frame enhances rather than competes with what you've created
Because a painting this meaningful deserves to be displayed in a way that does it justice.
Bonus #04
The Ultimate Texture Paste Guide
Everything you need to know about texture paste before you start – so you can create with confidence and avoid the most common beginner mistakes.
Understand the difference between Gel and Paste – what each one does, when to use which, and how they affect the final look of your painting.
Learn why texture paste cracks and what to do about it – understand the cause so you can prevent it, and know exactly how to fix it if it happens.
Get the full materials PDF – a curated list of recommended products, so you know exactly what to buy before you start – no matter where you are in the world.
The right material knowledge is what separates a frustrating experience from a truly enjoyable one.
Bonus #05

Creating is more enjoyable when you're not doing it alone. When you join the workshop, you get access to a private community of fellow students – a friendly, active space where real people share their work, ask questions, and celebrate every finished painting together.
Get personal answers from Michael whenever you're stuck on a technique, unsure about a material, or need guidance on your next step.
Share your work in progress and finished paintings with a supportive group of people who understand exactly what you're creating – and genuinely want to celebrate it with you.
Find inspiration and creative momentum by seeing what fellow students are making, experimenting with, and discovering along the way.

One Last Thing – Get It Before The Timer Runs Out
When the timer hits zero, this bonus disappears. The Advanced Multi-Color Texture Blending is a separate piece of work, and I only include it during the opening period of each new workshop cycle.
If the timer is still running when you're reading this, it can be yours.
Special Bonus
Advanced Multi-Color Texture Blending
This is where your painting goes from beautiful to extraordinary.
Once you've completed your Tree of Life, this exclusive video teaches you a technique that most texture artists never discover – blending multiple colours directly into the paste in a single stroke to create natural variation, depth, and movement that looks almost impossible to achieve by hand.
Discover why single-colour texture paste is just the beginning – and what becomes possible the moment you start blending colours together before they hit the canvas
Learn the exact motion that creates natural colour variation in a single stroke – a technique that looks advanced but feels completely intuitive once you try it
Watch a brand new painting created from start to finish using only this technique – exclusive to workshop members and never shared anywhere else
Discover why this technique isn't difficult – it's just not widely known. And once you've tried it, you'll wonder why nobody showed you sooner
Multi-color blending has a way of transforming texture that already looks beautiful into something that looks truly alive – like the colours grew there naturally, rather than being placed by hand.
In this bonus lesson, you'll learn a technique that takes everything you've discovered in the workshop and elevates it into something more expressive, more dynamic, and entirely your own.
This is not just an add-on – it's the moment your creativity stops following steps and starts finding its voice.

FAQ
I’ve never painted before – is this workshop still for me?
Absolutely! This workshop was designed for complete beginners. Each step is clearly explained, and you’ll see exactly how to move from a blank canvas to a beautiful finished piece – even if you’ve never held a palette knife in your hand before.
What materials will I need?
You’ll only need a few simple, affordable materials – like a canvas, acrylic paints, and texture paste. You’ll get a printable checklist inside the first module so you can easily gather everything before you start.
Do I need special art tools or brands?
Not at all. Any basic acrylic supplies will work. I’ll show you the exact types of tools I use and how to adapt them with what you already have at home.
Will I have support if I get stuck or have questions?
Absolutely. When you join the workshop, you also get access to a private community where Michael and fellow students are there to help with any questions that come up along the way.
Whether you're unsure about a material, stuck on a particular step, or simply want to share your progress, there's a friendly, supportive space waiting for you. No question is too small.
You won't be doing this alone.
When does the workshop begin – and is it flexible?
You can start the workshop the moment you join. There’s no set schedule or waiting period – just jump in whenever you’re ready and move at your own comfortable pace.
How long does the workshop take to complete?
Most students complete their painting across 3 to 7 sessions – each one roughly 60 to 90 minutes.
The process has natural built-in pauses for drying time between layers, which means there's no rushing and no pressure to push through everything at once.
Many students tell Michael that these sessions quickly become the part of their day they look forward to most.
You can spread them across a week, take a day off in between, or work at whatever pace suits your life.
Your access never expires – so the workshop works around your schedule, not the other way around.
How is the workshop delivered?
Once you join, you’ll get redirected instantly to a private workshop area.
Inside, you’ll find step-by-step video lessons you can pause, rewind, or rewatch anytime – plus printable guides and templates to make the process even easier.
You also get all your purchase details and the access sent to your email.
How do I access the workshop after I purchase?
Once you sign up, you’ll receive instant access to the workshop area where you can create your own account.
You can log in anytime from any device and enjoy lifetime access to every lesson.
What happens after I finish the workshop?
You’ll still have full lifetime access, so you can revisit any lesson or create new versions of your painting later. Many students go on to experiment with new colors or larger canvases using the same simple techniques.
I don’t have much time right now – is that a deal breaker?
Not at all. You can start whenever it fits your schedule, take breaks as needed, and come back to the lessons anytime you want a creative recharge.
What if I’m not naturally creative or artistic?
Neither was Michael when he started – and he'll be the first to tell you that.
Creativity in this workshop isn't something you need to bring with you. It's something that develops naturally as you follow each step.
By the time you're shaping your first leaf and watching flat paste become something dimensional and beautiful, the question of whether you're creative stops feeling relevant.
What if I make mistakes while creating?
That’s completely normal – and often the best part. The techniques you’ll learn are forgiving and easy to adjust. Small imperfections often turn into the most beautiful details.
I’ve tried art classes before and got discouraged. How is this different?
Most art classes put you in a room with an instructor moving at their own pace – and if you fall behind, you fall behind. That's exactly the experience this workshop was designed to avoid.
Every lesson is a video you control completely. Pause it, rewind it, rewatch it as many times as you need. Nobody is waiting for you. Nobody is watching you.
You move at whatever pace feels comfortable – and if a particular step needs another attempt, you simply try again.
Michael built this workshop specifically around the moments where people usually get stuck – the wrong materials, the cracking paste, the colors that turn muddy – and shows you how to navigate each one before it becomes a problem.
Students who came in expecting to feel discouraged are consistently the ones who surprise themselves most.
What if I change my mind?
No worries - you’re covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you decide the workshop isn’t for you, simply email me at [email protected] within 30 days and I’ll fully refund your purchase, no questions asked.
Is it safe to buy online?
Yes. All payments are securely processed through a trusted platform. As soon as your purchase is complete, you’ll receive an automatic receipt and confirmation email with your login details and instant workshop access.
