ART COMPASS

8 Weeks Art Transformation with Martina Glastonbury

An 8-week intensive for developing artists who want stronger direction, a recognisable voice, and a body of work that feels truly their own.

If you’ve struggled to understand why your artwork doesn't sell, or would like to have an exhibition full of artwork that truly feels like yours? Then Art Compass is for you. You will find yourself as an artist, your artistic voice & style, and create a body of work that is aligned with you.

You might recognise yourself here:

  • You try different styles, but don't settle for one.

  • You wish you could discuss your art with an experienced artist.

  • You would like to improve your skills, but don't want to go into debt.

  • You might have studied already, but were not taught how to find your own artistic voice.

"Martina has helped me over and over when I have got stuck as an artist. I value her more than my words can give."

Amanda Maria

It is about finding what makes you.

  • You are here to become clearer in your own work.

  • You will reach a stronger artistic identity, more trust in your process, and a body of work that feels connected, meaningful, and recognisably yours.

  • Together, we look at the deeper patterns, instincts, themes, decisions, and visual language that naturally return in your art.

  • It is about understanding what is already happening in your work.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

"I found the guidance and support Martina offered me invaluable to my personal growth and development as an artist.

She helped me see the importance of discovery and experimentation, and not to be too precious about initial outcomes.

This helped me explore different approaches, techniques and mediums, that ultimately led me to the medium I’ve become most adept in; soft pastels."

MHAIRI BARBOUR

ā€œWhen I first started drawing, Martina trained my eye by gently pointing out what needed more attention and observation.ā€

ALEX PURCELL

"I’m proud of the painting I made in Martina’s studio. Her guidance helped me see what I could do."

MARYNA LISNYCHUK

"Martina helped me understand that artistic voice isn't something you invent, it's something you recognise."

Hi, I'm Martina Glastonbury!

I’m a professional artist and teacher who has been painting and drawing most of my life. I had my first solo exhibition in Stockholm at 18, and since then, I’ve continued to study, exhibit, and build a practice rooted in both skill and meaningful expression.

I now live in Devon, where I paint, teach, and support artists in developing stronger direction, confidence, and artistic identity. I do not teach artists to paint like me. I help artists recognise what already belongs in their work, so they can create art that feels connected, honest, and truly their own.

Have Questions? I've Got Answers!

Who is this program best suited for?

Artists who already create but want more clarity, direction, confidence, and a stronger body of work.

Is this for beginners?

This is best for artists with some experience who are ready to go deeper into their work.

Will I learn technique?

Technique may be discussed, but the focus is artistic identity, voice, cohesion, and meaningful development. If you don't want the identity part, you got more time to other parts of the course.

Do I need to have a finished body of work already?

No. This program is designed to help you build clarity, direction, and a stronger connection in your work. You can join with unfinished pieces, scattered ideas or only a few paintings. Some experience in creating art is recommended.

Do I need to use the same materials as Martina?

No. You can work in any medium that suits your practice.

What if I feel stuck or scattered?

That is exactly what this program is designed to help with.

What if I don’t know my style yet?

You do not need to. We work on recognising what already belongs in your art.

How much time should I set aside each week?

This depends on you. Initially, I thought about 10 hours a week, but it is entirely up to you. Obviously, the more time you can give it, the more progress you'll make with your work.

Do I get 1:1 calls with Martina?
  • First 1:1, we will discuss all about you and what you'd like to get out of the course.

  • In week 2, you get an Artist Voice Diagnostic Session.

  • Then there will be another 2 1:1 Mentoring Sessions later in the program.

    The extra 1:1 session at the end is only given as a bonus to quick subscribers.

Will I receive feedback on my artwork?

Yes. You’ll receive critique through weekly goup calls and 4 private 1:1 sessions.

Also, through a thread in the community area, where you can post images and questions.

What happens in the 1:1 sessions?

We look at your work, direction, blocks, strengths, and next steps. The calls is there for you to have a private chat with me about what ever you feel the need of. I happily give feedback and studio sharing.

Can I get extra 1:1 support?

Yes. If you would like deeper personal guidance during the program, you can book additional 1:1 sessions with me at £98 per session. This can be helpful if you want more focused critique, portfolio support, or time to explore your work more deeply.

How do I get more feedback beyond the 1:1 sessions?

You’ll receive feedback in several ways. During our weekly group coaching calls, you are welcome to bring your work for reflection, critique, and shared learning. There will also be a dedicated weekly feedback thread inside the community, where you can post images of your work. I will personally respond to these once a week. The 1:1 sessions allow for deeper, more personal guidance.

Are the calls recorded?

I’m happy to record your 1:1 sessions for you, so you can revisit our discussions and feedback. For privacy and openness, the group coaching calls will not be recorded. If you miss a group session, don’t worry too much — these often focus on shared questions and discussion. You can always ask your own questions inside the community thread.

What if I feel nervous sharing my work in a group?

That is completely understandable, and many artists feel this way at first.

The group coaching calls will remain unrecorded to create a more open, safe, and supportive space for honest sharing.

You are never forced to share before you are ready. You can listen, reflect, ask questions, or share gradually as your confidence grows. The aim is thoughtful support, not pressure.

Do I keep access to the course?

Yes. You receive lifetime access to the course modules. You can use the process over and over.

What is the main outcome?

Greater clarity, stronger voice, more confidence, and a body of work that feels connected and recognisably yours.

How will this help me prepare for an exhibition or selling my work?

Yes, absolutely. A stronger artistic identity, clearer direction, and a more connected body of work are often key foundations for both exhibiting and selling. This program is designed to help you create work that feels cohesive, meaningful, and easier to present with confidence.

There are also quick bonus lessons that touch on preparing your work for exhibitions and sharing or selling it more clearly.

Why is it so cheap?

This is the first time I'm running this course. It will cost more next time I run it.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can choose the payment option that suits you best: either a single payment of £695

or 2 monthly payments of £375. Full details will be available at checkout.

When do I start?

You can begin as soon as you join. The first part of the course will be available to you immediately, so you can get started right away. You’ll also book your first 1:1 session with me early on, where we’ll look at your past work, where you are now, and what you hope to achieve during these 8 weeks.

What's the refund policy?

2 weeks, no questions asked. I'd be delighted to hear about possible improvements, if you so wish.

This is the last time I offer Art Compass for this price.
