Have you ever...
...followed a step-by-step tutorial and ended up with a result that was almost dot to dot your instructor’s project? There are no feelings expressed, no story told, no experience shared. Just a process repeated. It leaves a bitter aftertaste.
On Wanderlust there’s none of that. Step into the classroom and you’ll see a different way of following lessons. We will introduce you to our signature teaching style that encourages expressing your own personality on EACH of the pieces that you make.
Our lessons are not about the teachers and products, they are about you and all the practical ways in which you can make every project a feast of self-expression.

There's something extra special
about Wanderlust 2023!
In 2023 we're continuing with our new structure for our best-selling course.
We will be focusing on groups of Star Supplies as in 2022, and learning all about them. Proper in-depth knowledge with lots of tips and mini techniques, product comparisons and projects.
There will be 6 groups of Star Supplies:
- Pastels.
- Pencils.
- Pens.
- Sprays & Mists.
- Pigments & Powders.
- Monoprinting & Carving.
Every class focuses on a Hero Technique!
Each lesson will be built around one Hero Technique, that each Teacher has chosen for their lesson to provide a focus and a structure to the course. This also ensures that the techniques won’t repeat and that you’re learning experience is balanced and more varied than ever!
New to Wanderlust!
Now more than ever we need to take care of our wellbeing. And there's no better way to do it than through a gentle, joyful art practice.
This year we're taking a more holistic approach and decided to include two new segments, which will encourage you to practice more creative self-care in 2023.
Artful Musings
Series of videos which will give you extra insight into the process and approach of other Artists. Tackling subjects which will inspire and enrich your art practice making it a more wholesome experience. Among others: serendipity and the healing power of art practice, finding a meaningful subject for your work and creating an inspirational space. Featuring Ali Brown, Amy Maricle, Nicole Warrington, Kasia Avery and more!
Creative self-care challenge
52 weeks of gentle self-care habit building. Series created by two best friends, Kasia and Eliza divided by over 1000 mile distance. Shared every week in the classroom.

Joining Wanderlust = helping the environment.
Once again we have partnered with (more:trees) and we will be planting a tree for everyone who joins our course!
This is an automated process and so as soon as you enrol in Wanderlust you'll get an email confirming that we've paid for planting a tree on your behalf. Somewhere in Madagascar, Kenya or Haiti there will be a tree growing thanks to your passion for art.
This will sequester an estimated 0.30 of carbon and is equivalent to 732.90 miles in a standard car.
F.A.Q.
When does this course start and finish?
The course starts on the 6th of January 2023, but if you sign up now there is already content available in the classroom. Simply scroll up to the Curriculum to see what's in there already.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. You can also download all of the videos, so you can watch them even when you are offline.
What is your refund policy?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 15 days and we will give you a full refund.
What sort of art will I be learning on this course?
Wanderlust is about mixed-media art journaling. All lessons will be done in an art journal, but can be easily translated into a canvas, a paper pad or a board. There are no dimensional projects on Wanderlust, but we tackle lots of different styles, techniques and subjects.
Do I have to buy lots of supplies to do the course?
You will need to have some basics. Please find out more here.
Can I find out what each lesson during the year is going to be about?
Yes! Check out our printable schedule.
Are there any extra costs during the year?
Nope! This is a one-off payment and there are no extra costs that this course requires. You pay once and you get full access to all lessons released weekly.
Do you have a payment plan, can I pay in instalments?
Yes! We offer a payment plan where you can pay for the course in 3 instalments.
Can I use my smartphone to watch the lessons?
Yes! Our website and classrooms work very well on tablets and smartphones.
Are the lessons all new content from the teachers (never been offered on any other platform)?
Yes! It’s all new and exclusive to Wanderlust. All of the lessons on Wanderlust are brand new, available only through Wanderlust and have been made for us. You won’t find them anywhere else.
I've done Wanderlust last year. Is this a repeat?
No, Wanderlust never repeats. This year we are diving deeper into supplies exploring Star Supplies and Hero Techniques. Every year there are new teachers, new subjects, new lessons, new techniques.
Why is there tax added on top of the price?
As tax rates vary all over the world, adding tax on top of the price is the only way we can now continue to offer our classes on sale globally.
This has been further complicated by Brexit, and international clamp downs on online tax collection.
Sales tax is worked out and added to the cart if applicable on a country by country basis.
Is Wanderlust suitable for everyone? I'm struggling with mental health, will the course help me deal with those issues?
Please be aware that we'll have several lessons on Wanderlust 2023 which explore self-discovery questions. We will be working with expressing our feelings and emotions so if you're not comfortable doing it this course may not be for you. If you're struggling with mental health please seek professional help and if you decide to join the course use it as a tool for finding new passion and to support your healing process.
