MEET SCOTT CHRISTENSEN

I’m Scott Christensen, the creator of the Paint the Ocean Learning Program.

It’s a program I’ve produced that distils the knowledge I’ve learnt and shows you exactly how I paint and run the business. I began painting in 1997 at the age of 26. Three years later, I resigned from work drilling under roads to pursue art as a fulltime career. My wife had just given birth to our first children: twins so failure was not an option. Since then I’ve painted hundreds of seascapes, sold over 2.1M worth of my art and continue to enjoy the lifestyle that comes with being a fulltime artist. I’m ready to share all and this online format is a great way to teach you the workflows and techniques, and everything in-between to build a rewarding business.

Up-level your Skills and Techniques, Optimise your Workflow and Develop a Business Strategy – to Sell More Art.

If you need help with technique; need to sell more art… and want a plan going forward: You’ve come to the right place.

You’ll get more out of this program than if I gave you a two 2 or 3 Day workshop. My methods are simple, understandable and don’t require any speciality gear.

You’ll get no interruptions and you can learn in the comfort of your own home. I’m really proud of the content I have put together for you here… I put 100% into everything I create and this course is no different – I know you’ll get a lot out of it.

With enrolment you get access to the closed Paint The Ocean Studio – Facebook Group and access to me – where you can ask questions and further your learning and become part of a supportive community of like-minded artists. I look forward to seeing you there!
