Artistic Planning For Beginners

A class by Shelby Abrahamsen (Foxsy)

I'll admit it: I have found myself in a planning rut more often than not. It can be difficult to fall back into a routine once you've neglected your planner for so long. I struggled for years to keep a consistent planning routine, and my life fell into chaos each time. Planning was boring, and nothing could keep me motivated. Nothing, that is, until I discovered artistic planning. By adding something as simple as a brushstroke of color, I began looking forward to planning. I was able to bring order to my life and be productive while also indulging my creative side. With this course, I will show you what artistic planning is and why it could be the right planning system for you. Then, we'll dive into what materials you'll need to get started and how to get into a creative mindset. Finally, I'll show you various planning spreads I've used in the past and help you figure out which spreads will work best for you.

    We’re getting better every day

    Foxsy is an art education platform with on-demand creative courses. It’s designed so you can explore and grow your artistic skills.

    The courses contain in-depth lessons and step-by-step projects to fuel your creativity and give you the skills to create your own amazing art.

    Here at Foxsy, we are working to build a platform where you can have everything you need to give your creativity everything it needs to thrive.

    Right now, we are working on building the best collection of online courses around, so you have everything you need to learn the new skills you’ve been putting off (or help you dust off some old skills).

    We’re doing this by working with online creators who have been where you are. Our instructors have all decided to make their creativity a focus of their lives. To devote themselves to exploring their creativity and helping others do the same, and many of them are self-taught. Basically, they get it and can help you no matter where you are.

    More than that though, we want to build a space where you feel like your creativity matters. We want to give you a community where you can work to embrace your creativity and give it space in your life.

    Eventually, we want to change the world though.

    That’s a BIG want though isn’t it? Well, it’s the truth. We’re working to make Foxsy a place where creativity thrives not only on an individual level but also a place that helps make the world a more creative place in general.

    We want to support local art projects all around the globe, expand access to art education, and show as many people as possible that no matter what they’ve been told, your creativity matters and should be celebrated.

    If this sounds like a world, you’d like to see, sign up and help us build something amazing.

    We currently have several courses on watercoloring, lettering, and creative journaling. As we grow our course library month by month, we will continue to expand the range of subjects as well.

    Foxsy is adding new classes all the time to make sure you have access to a constantly growing pool of subjects and projects.

    Foxsy is a paid membership platform, so you need to sign up for one of our membership plans to access everything Foxsy has to offer.

    A Lifetime Membership is a one-time fee that gives you access to Foxsy for life!

    No recurring payments, nothing, as long as Foxsy exists you’ll have access to everything on the platform.

    Once you are a Foxsy member, you will have access to the entire library of courses, as well as any classes added to the library during your membership.

    If you get a membership and decide that Foxsy just isn’t for you, then no worries!

    We have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Just shoot us a message and we’ll get your refund processed right away!

    Unfortunately, no. When you cancel your membership, you will lose access to any courses you have enrolled in at the end of your membership period. 

    For example, if you have a yearly membership that renews on November 1st and cancel your membership on October 10th, you will lose access to all of the courses on Foxsy on November 1st.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to message us at [email protected].
