As a complete beginner I feel like the painting is giving me a therapy session every time!
🎨 Jaana Haikarainen / Finland
"As a watercolorist, I am so happy that Hege shared her techniques with us in such a nice way. It has been very pleasant for me to follow it! I haven’t painted acrylic for over 5 years. Thank you so much for inspiring me to do it again!"
🎨 Paulette Gerecht / Belgium
"I've been painting for years — but I'd never tried abstract."
I didn't have a good sense of color, and I definitely didn't have the confidence to use bold ones. This has completely changed that. I've learned to use different tools and brushes for different techniques, and I'm so much more confident in my color choices now. I'm not afraid to step out of my comfort zone anymore.
What I love about Hege is that she's professional and authentic. She explains her thought process — her successes and the projects that don't meet her expectations. She's fun to watch and her teaching style just clicks.
But the biggest thing? I've stopped judging myself. I explore, I experiment, I just have fun. And the group where we all share our work — it's awesome.
— Eileen Swailes 🇺🇸
Get the inspiration you need. The fear of a blank canvas is gone, and you'll receive step-by-step videos to help you create beautiful paintings.
Sometimes we need a friendly nudge, and it doesn't take much to get us started. We're quite similar in that way ;) We're doing this together and inspiring each other!
Watch from the bus, the couch, or while you paint, if you like. You'll have complete painting processes, but also many short, effective films with techniques that can be fun to try.
Learning to paint is a journey. In the beginning we need one thing, and as we practice, we need something else. In this membership you'll find something for every taste that suits you exactly where you are now.
Every month we have 2 live coaching classes where you get help with your paintings, invaluable for so many, and even if you don't have questions, you'll learn a lot from hearing what others get help with. We also have 1 live painting class each month.
Imagine having your own cheering squad and a safe group where you can try things out and ask, is this okay, what should I do now, and so on... we can do this together!
The studio door is wide open - meet me in person (online) twice a month. Submit your question and a photo of your painting ahead of time as usual — or hop on camera and talk it through with me live while we look at your painting together. Camera on or just listening and watching, totally up to you.
✔️ Trust me, you can do this! I have taught more than 2,000 beautiful women and men how to create abstract paintings, it is not about talent!
✔️ I teach you the exact same techniques that I use and I promise you, this is not rocket science. Anyone can make beautiful art.
✔️ I will teach you step-by-step, whether you already have a relationship with brushes and paint or not 💞
✔️ The techniques we go through will have you making abstracts that your neighbor will want to buy from you ⭐️
I know what it feels like to stand in front of a canvas and think: who am I to call myself an artist?
For years, I painted in secret 🙈 — tucking canvases away before anyone could see them, never saying the word "painter" out loud. I loved it, but I didn't trust myself. Sound familiar?
The path to confidence doesn't have to take as long for you as it did for me. That's the whole reason I built this.
Today, I make a living from my art. I've had solo exhibitions and record-breaking sales. But the part that lights me up? I've taught more than 2,500 women and men how to paint — and more importantly, how to trust that what they paint is good enough. Complete beginners holding a brush for the first time. Experienced painters who'd lost their spark. Women who'd been told they "couldn't draw" and believed it for 20 years.
I spent 25 years in the business world before I fully committed to art in 2019. So I understand what it's like to have a creative dream sitting quietly inside you while life keeps you busy with everything else.
The moments I love most in this job? When someone messages me to say they hung their first painting on the wall. Or that their husband walked in and said "wait — you painted that?" That never gets old 💛
After years of requests, I'm now sharing everything I know with you in Studio HegeK — a steady place to paint, with people who get it, and someone keeping you going.
— Hege K Sandtorv
✔️ You've long thought about learning to paint. It's easier than you think, you just need someone to guide you!
✔️ You need something that brings you energy and joy in your daily life. Perhaps your daily routine has changed? Have the kids moved out, has your job shifted, or have you retired?
✔️ You want to paint but can't seem to get started. Trust me, we all procrastinate on things we know are good for us. You're not alone, let me help you get started 💞
✔️ You stand in front of the canvas and have no idea what to paint. In this membership we have several painting processes that will get you started and make it easy to create fantastic paintings.
✔️ You know that to improve you need to practice, but it just doesn't seem to happen. We have challenges with prizes that will help you schedule painting into your routine, you deserve it, you know...
✔️ You want to take your painting to the next level, but end up scrolling Instagram feeling overwhelmed by how much everyone else is doing. The membership is for you, whether you're brand new or an experienced painter 💕

"I never thought I'd love this — now I don't know what I'd do without it."
I came in not knowing what to expect, and what I found goes way beyond painting techniques. You learn how to appreciate your own work — and ultimately, yourself. It's genuinely therapeutic.
The value here is beyond monetary. Hege has a way of inspiring you that just gets under your skin, in the best possible way.
— Sunder Pillai
"I have seven years of classical art training — and my teacher was impressed."
This is not the classical way to paint, and that's exactly why it works. After going through Hege's teaching, I showed my work to my academy teacher — and she was genuinely impressed by what I'd made.
The lessons are easy to follow, and you can come back to them again and again. Every time I do, I pick up something new.
— Catherina Lobben, Belgium

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to the questions we get asked the most.
When can I start?
Right now! The moment you join, you get instant access to the full video library, the community, and all your bonuses. You can start painting today — no waiting, no schedule to follow. Just pick a painting process that catches your eye and press play.
How does the membership work?
Studio HegeK is an online membership you access from anywhere — your living room, your kitchen table, your garage studio. You get a library of step-by-step painting processes, new content every month, 3 live sessions with me (2 coaching + 1 live painting), monthly challenges with prizes, and a private community of painters who cheer each other on. Watch at your own pace, paint along when you're ready, and come to the live sessions when you can.
I've never painted before — is this for me?
Especially for you. Most of my 2,500+ students started exactly where you are. Abstract painting is not drawing — you do not need to draw. You don't need a degree, a talent, or a steady hand. You need paint, a canvas, and someone to show you what to do. That's what I'm here for.
I've been painting for years — will I still learn something?
Yes — and Catherina Lobben is proof. She has seven years of classical art training, and after going through my teaching, her academy teacher was impressed by what she'd made. Whether you're stuck in a rut, painting the same thing over and over, or just hungry for new techniques and fresh inspiration — the Studio meets you where you are.
I have a busy schedule — how does it fit?
Everything is recorded. Watch the painting movies from the bus, the couch, or while you're cooking dinner. Paint along when you have 30 minutes or 3 hours — there's no schedule to keep up with. The live sessions are a bonus, not a requirement. And the challenges are designed to get you painting in small, joyful bursts — not marathon sessions.
When are the live sessions?
We have 2 live coaching sessions and 1 live painting class each month, plus the new Open Atelier. Times are posted in the community so you can plan ahead. Can't make it? Every session is recorded and available in the library within 24 hours.
What if I can't attend the live sessions?
No problem at all — every live session is recorded and waiting for you in the library. Many members watch the replays while they paint. You'll learn just as much. And in Open Atelier, you can submit your painting ahead of time, so I'll review it live even if you're not there.
Will I need a lot of supplies?
No. You can start with a few tubes of acrylic paint, a couple of brushes, and a canvas. I always include equipment lists with my painting processes so you know exactly what you need — no guessing, no overspending at the art store. And if you go annual, the Make Your Own Canvases bonus will save you serious money.
I don't have much space
You don't need a studio. A kitchen table, a corner of your living room, or even a spot on the floor works perfectly. Many of my students paint on their dining table and clean up after. Abstract painting is wonderfully forgiving about space — you just need room for a canvas and your paints.
Is this actually worth $397?
That's $33 a month — about a dollar a day. For that you get 3 live sessions with me every month, the full painting library, monthly challenges, the community, Open Atelier, and all your bonuses. If you paint one canvas you're proud enough to hang on your wall, you've already got more out of it than buying a piece of art. And your walls will fill up fast..
Is installment payment an option?
Yes — the monthly plan is the installment plan. $49/month, cancel anytime, no commitment. But if you can swing the annual, you'll pay $397 instead of $588 over the year — that's $191 back in your pocket, plus you get the Make Your Own Canvases bonus and your painting on my easel in the first Open Atelier.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly members can cancel anytime — no questions asked, no commitment. You simply stop your subscription and keep access until the end of your billing period. Annual members are billed once for the full year. That's also why the monthly option exists — if you're not sure yet, start there. Try it for a month, and if you love it (and I think you will), switch to annual and save $241..
I don't think I have the talent to paint
Good — neither did I. And neither did most of the 2,500 people I've taught. If a teacher once told you that you couldn't draw, that teacher was wrong about what painting is. Abstract art isn't about getting it "right." It's about play, color, texture, and trusting the process. Talent is a myth. Technique is learnable. And I'll teach you.
Am I too old to get started?
Absolutely not. Many of my most passionate students started in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. There is no age limit on creativity — and honestly, this stage of life is often when it matters most. The kids are grown, the schedule is shifting, and something inside you is whispering that it's your turn. Listen to it.
What kind of support do I get?
You're never alone. Post your paintings in the community and get encouragement from your fellow painters. Ask questions anytime and get answers from me, the mentors, or your painting friends. Bring your stuck paintings to the live coaching sessions or submit them for Open Atelier. This isn't a library you browse alone — it's a studio full of people who get it.
What is Open Atelier?
It's new, and I'm excited about it. Twice a month, the studio door opens. You submit a photo of your painting — especially the one that went muddy, or got stuck at the second layer — and I put it on the easel. We look at it together, live. I'll tell you what's working, what to try next, and how to finish it. Camera on or just listening — totally up to you.
Still have questions? Just reply to any of my emails — I read every one 💛
