Kerri Dixon
Founder, The Creative Barn
Award winning wildlife artist with a love for animals and nature. Lifetime learner of art and all mediums and mother of three. Had a tree change and went from a sign writer in the city to a farmer in rural Queensland, giving me more time to create and teach my love of art to others.
I'm a firm believer that we don't possess any innate talent; rather, it's the amount of practice we put in that determines how much we improve. This is true in any field, whether it's tennis, music, or drawing in realism. The Creative Barn Membership is here to help you break the mental barriers blocking your path to creative success and give you the tools to excel.
The premium tier of The Creative Barn offers a combination of virtual lessons, community support, live Q & A's, Art Chats and draw along sessions
for Artists that want to master realistic wildlife and nature art.
I guide you through how to refine the techniques and progress your skill level so you can share your work with confidence.
What The Creative Barn Membership
can do for you..
*Learn step by step techniques to drawing in realism

Here's what's waiting for you inside once you become a member...
PREMIUM TIER MEMBERSHIP INCLUSIONS
Week 1: TUTORIAL
At the beginning of every month, you'll be presented with a brand-new theme and accompanying tutorial. Ranging from a few hours to complete, these instructional videos are split into easy-to-follow sections, allowing you to progress through them at your own pace. The hub will also remember where you were, so you can easily pick up where you left off. Each tutorial comes with a downloadable workbook, along with a reference image, line art and equipment list to help you with your artistic journey. So far, we've covered topics such as Pets, Colour, Composition, Graphite, Waves, Fur, Eyes,
Big Cats, Animals in Action, Horses and many more!
Week 2: Live Q & A
Every month, during Week 2, we hold a Live Q&A inside our private Facebook group. This is where you can ask all your questions regarding art and receive instant answers. Not only can you get answers to your own questions, but you may also get answers to questions you hadn't even thought of yet, which could be beneficial to you in the future.
Week 3: Live Draw Along
Join us each month for our most popular activity - a Zoom Draw Along session! You'll get a bird's-eye view of my desktop as I draw an image related to our theme. Feel free to draw along with me, draw your own subject, or simply chat and catch up. This is a great opportunity to observe my drawing techniques first-hand and ask any questions you may have about the process
Week 4: Art Chat
Once a month, we come together over Zoom for an Art Chat. I initiate the discussion with an art-related topic, but it's really a place for us to connect and talk about our shared hobby with other enthusiasts. It's like a virtual mastermind session, a place where we can learn from each other and share our ideas with one another - the power of collective knowledge is extraordinary
Weekly: Creative Play Focus Hour
Come and join me for one hour every week, so you can dedicate your time to your art. This is not an instruction-led session, it is to keep you creatively engaged. Whether you want to work on a specific medium or prefer to try different types of art, you can do that. I think it is important for you to embrace experimentation to evolve as an artist, but I also understand how hard it can be to set aside time for yourself; this will be your hour of commitment each week
PLUS! A Private Online Community of Like Minded Artists
What better way to learn, share, grow, become friends and encourage each other.
Gain Incredible Creative Skills with a Low Cost Membership to The Creative Barn!
If you have been investing in various art supplies in multiple mediums without mastering any, then the membership to The Creative Barn would be a tiny price to pay compared to the cost of all those lessons.
With this membership, you get a step-by-step process to creating realistic wildlife and nature art, as well as honing in on dry mediums and specific subjects, enabling you to make significant progress.
While it may be possible to spend hundreds of dollars on single lessons, or try to learn things for free on YouTube, nothing will help you progress as fast as being part of a interactive and motivating membership. Therefore, considering the great value you get with The Creative Barn, the price should not be a concern.
For only $33 USD per month, all of the benefits I have mentioned can be yours, or if that is not within your budget, you can opt for the Essentials Tier with access to the first 3 modules, which includes more than 100 tutorials,
for only $19 USD per month

Who is the membership not for ?
Well I've created the membership to suit any skill level of artist and we will be covering most dry mediums, but if you are wanting to learn portraiture or still life for example, then this would not suit you. I am all about the furry creatures and mother nature drawn in soft pastels, charcoal and graphite.

The Creative Barn doors only swing open a few times per year. This is so I can put my whole focus on my members and create an amazing experience for them. You can add your name to the waitlist here so you don't miss out when they open next.

Yes you are welcome to cancel at any time, although I will be sad to see you go.

If you are on the monthly plan then no you cannot get a refund, your membership will just not renew the following month. Please make sure to give me at least 1 weeks notice before the billing period, so I have time to get you out of the system.
If you have paid yearly then I am happy to refund you the remaining months, but the months already used will be charged at the full monthly rate, so you don't get the yearly discount.
