Developing a creative art practice, learning to love the art you are making, and finding your unique creative voice is a learned skill. It's not about talent, which means, I can help you become the artist you are meant to be. Can you make a 5-week commitment to take things to the next level? Of course you can. You are ready.
Hi, I'm Genna Blackburn.
You want to make lots of art, love the art you are making, and find your unique creative voice. If you could overcome any self-doubt or uncertainty about your abilities and your signature style so that you are making the art that only you can make — how would that feel?
I can help, because I've been there. With the strategies I figured out, I went from being overwhelmed and self-critical to:
- making tons of art and developing my signature style
- signing licensing contracts with some of my dream clients 🤯
- becoming a Skillshare Top Teacher
- 10x my Instagram following
- being represented by a top, world-wide illustration agency
Once I overcame the barriers to making lots of art and finding my signature style, I became lighter, happier, more prolific, and more successful. And I want that for you as well — you deserve to feel creative and confident, and to experience the beauty of having art flow out of you. Let me show you how.
"I was really struggling with sticking with a daily art practice when I heard about Drawn to Art. Genna's approach really helped me work through mindset struggles I was having and as a result, I have been making art more regularly. I go back to rewatch some of her videos when I feel myself getting stuck because I find them so helpful. I also love Genna's fun approach to making art and playing around to really discover who you are as an artist." — Melissa
Making art wasn't always easy (or enjoyable) for me.
I have always been drawn to art, but it didn't come easily. And I thought that meant I wasn't supposed to be an artist. I kept thinking I should pursue something else, something that wasn't so hard. But I felt pulled to it and couldn't ignore that feeling.
I struggled with many barriers to creating art and finding my signature style.
Do any of these sound like you?
That's why I created
Drawn to Art
This immersive 5-week program will help you:
- Love more of the art you are making.
- Make the art that only you can make.
- Analyze your own work so you can enhance your unique creative voice.
- Learn how to use color to make work that is cohesive and attracts people to your art.

The 3 Pillars of Drawn to Art
The Drawn to Art program is built on three powerful pillars that lead to making art you love and developing a unique creative voice.
Mindset
Learning to listen to your creative intuition, making more art that you love, and developing your voice comes from how you think about your creativity and your art. Once I unlocked this pillar, the flood gates came crashing open and I started making more art that I loved than ever before. And I can save you years from learning this on your own. You will overcome the obstacles that keep most artists from coming into their full potential.
Skills
The second pillar to making art that is as good as you imagine it can be is foundational skills and principles. You may have already learned some of this in school but you haven't learned it like this. We're going to talk about the power of color to transform your work and define your style, how to build up your visual mind library so you can draw your personal motifs from memory, and what to do when you create something that you don't love.
Style
After mindset and skills, we are going to explore your unique creative voice. You'll learn how to analyze your work so you can lean into what's working, what's unique to you, and define your signature style. And the community and support team will be there to help you analyze and critique your work and cheer you on! Sometimes just one small piece of feedback from someone with fresh eyes can make everything come into powerful focus!
"Genna has been a huge inspiration and motivation in propelling me forward in my art journey. I was not making art my priority even though it was something I secretly wanted to do. I decided to take Drawn to Art because I felt that Genna could help me develop a consistent art practice and find my signature style. Even within this short space of time, I can see a notable improvement in my drawing abilities." — Elizabeth

"Before taking Drawn to Art, I knew I needed to find my signature style, but despite hearing about the importance of drawing more, it hadn’t fully clicked, and years passed without me trying. Genna's course made a huge difference in getting me into the habit of drawing daily for two key reasons. First, the hands-on approach, combined with the daily drawing challenge and community support, motivated me to show up for myself every day. Second, Genna’s relatability and passion for sharing her own journey, struggles, and successes made me realize I wasn’t alone in facing self-doubt and creative blocks." — Karen Garbell

Bethany Bayless
"Before Drawn to Art, I was in one of the biggest creative slumps I have experienced. I was struggling with feeling original or creative and didn't know how to move forward. Drawn to Art was just the thing I needed. Not only did I greatly benefit from Genna's wisdom and knowledge in her weekly lessons, but developing a daily drawing habit was a huge game-changer for me. I also found a community of like-minded artists who all have unique journeys and challenges, and I still keep in touch with many of them today. It was incredible to find a whole cheerleading squad rooting each other on. I can't say enough good things about this incredible opportunity that helped bring back my artistic spark!
Cat Merrick
"Before taking Drawn to Art, my perfectionism and scattered interests were keeping me blocked creatively. I loved making art, but I was having trouble figuring out my path forward and simply showing up to create. Genna's down-to-earth, encouraging, and practical way of teaching helped me to break down the creative process into simple, approachable steps. I've uncovered a signature style I want to explore and I'm thrilled to be applying what I've learned to my regular art practice."
Emily Dunn
"As an indecisive person who enjoys so many style of art, this course made it easier for me to narrow down what I actually love to draw most! With daily drawing and Genna's guidance, I learned the importance of a limited color palette and cohesive art. And her live sessions are so much fun — she's just delightful! Inspiration station."
Ali Ivmark
"Genna’s Drawn to Art course was exactly what I needed! Her curriculum, community, bonus challenges and live lessons were incredibly inspiring and encouraging. Thanks to her, I've found the confidence I needed to truly trust the process and continue developing my personal artistic style and voice!"
Rachel Coney
"I’ve done a lot of printables, graphic design, web design, and photography over the years, so I've monetized my work before but really digging in and sharing my art feels different. I was constantly doing random customs and never found my style. And I was so tired of the mental lift of sitting down to draw and not knowing where to start, what color palette to use, or thing to draw. This course gave me the confidence to explore this as a potential career and I'm so thankful!"
Tracey Diamond
"Genna, you've done it once again! I am in such a different, more exciting, creative space since taking this course. You have such a fun way of teaching and making it a safe place to play, explore, and even make "bad art" while embracing it all. Can't wait to see what the next challenge or course is that you share with us!"
Christine J.
"This course really helped me to set guidelines to explore and define my personal artistic style. I feel like I have more clarity on the steps to take to get there and it's no longer just an idea of something I wanted to achieve with no real plan. I love Genna's teaching style, she is very warm and relatable and has created a safe space where everyone in the community could share with no judgement. Thank you Genna and Team!"
Marissa of Phillips & Co Designs
"Before taking Drawn to Art I didn't think I was good at drawing. I wanted to be and I wanted so bad to like it and turn my art into a creative business. By taking the course I've learned to release my negative thoughts around my illustrations and have fun with it. I've grown to love my art and excited to continue on my creative journey."
Marie Bondeelle
"I wasn't sure I could find a unity among my different artistic experiments… I can’t thank you enough for this course which has been soooo helpful. Following the steps, making choices, and drawing everyday, it's really working well! It feels like I now have a road to follow. Such a relief! You, your team and all the students created a safe place in the community. The good vibration you provide — both in the course and during the live sessions — your natural sense of joy, humor and harmony are a blessing. Thank you, Genna, it was fun and exciting to take part in this course!"
"Before taking this course, I had been drawing for several years but just couldn't see my style forming. The course provided concrete criteria that I could use to analyze my own work and constraints I could play with to hone in on the type of art that I love to make and feels like me. My style really started to come out and now I feel much more confident sharing and pitching my work."
—Rachel
"Genna and Team: You are amazing! Absolute gems! 💖 Thank you for giving me new perspective, confidence, and the freedom to explore and play again! I can’t say enough how much this has meant to me. I am so grateful for the encouragement, support, and inspiration I have received. This is just the beginning, and I am so excited to see what’s next!"
—Krystal Giebel

I can't recommend this course enough for anyone looking to elevate their artistic journey!"
—Nathalia
"As a self-taught illustrator, I chose to do Drawn to Art because I was struggling with all the techniques and options out there. I needed a 'filter' for all the information on style development. In addition, I wanted to find my joy back in illustrating. The course exceeded my expectations. It gave me the focus I needed to move forward."
— Marlies Niemeijer
