Tribe is OPEN!! Come see the BIG BONUS!!

Hey everybody, it's Christie Renee Hawkins with The Social Easel, and we are doing a quick live today to let you know that the doors to my tribe are open, and we have the biggest early bird bonus that we have ever offered when you become a tribe sister today. So you have from today until Wednesday to join us to get this early bird bonus. I'm going to go over with you um, here in just a minute and show you firsthand some of the paintings I've got hanging on the wall here and kind of go over, um, all the details, everything about Tribe, everything you can expect, what we have planned, um, for the rest of October. So I'm so excited. Um, we are celebrating 10 years of the Social Easel, and so we have lots of fun specials in store for you for the opening of TRIBE. TRIBE will be open until October 10th, and that will be your last chance to join us in 2023. So we will not open doors again to the public, to new members, until fall of next year. So there's going to be some changes coming to the Social Easel, and one of those is going to be less openings to TRIBE so we can really focus on, um, growing inside of TRIBE, and I'm really, really excited about that. So, um, thank you, Melissa. Um, you can see behind me I finally started getting some paintings hung up in the studio. All of these are included in the TRIBE membership. So, um, one of the biggest questions I get is what is included with TRIBE, and a lot of you who may have been following me for a while on Facebook or YouTube, you've seen a lot of my paintings and you want access to those. So there are 5 years worth of paintings inside of Tribe, and you get instant access to all of those when you become a member. So that is over 175 video tutorials, all of the ones behind me here. This is just some of the fall and Halloween. Some of them are at my house. This is even all of them. And then if you, um, these are going to be the bonuses I'm going to share with you guys, but I'm going to turn it this way. You can see I've got all this blank wall space over here in the studio. And later today I'm going to start hanging up all of my winter and Christmas paintings. So I'm going to kind of transition around the walls here and, uh, get to show you guys some of what you can expect inside of TRIBE. So I'm really excited about that. We also have a brand new lookbook that Megan, my community manager who will be with you in TRIBE, has Christie Renee Hawkins created, and this is a really fun digital magazine that you're going to be able to flip through and see all the paintings that you get when you become a Tribe Sister. So, um, I'm gonna pull up this screen really quick here, and I'm going to show you what the early bird specials are. And again, this is if you join before Wednesday. You get these 10 bonuses in addition to everything else that you get with Tribe. So I'm going to show you this really quick. Um, so, and I've got some of these here in the studio. My little snowman that's on here, here he is buried at home underneath all of my Christmas decorations. But you get access to all 10 of these tutorials when you become a Tribe sister. All current Tribe sisters, if you don't have access to all of these depending on when you joined joined, you also get them. So Tribe Sisters always get the bonuses that we offer to new members coming in as well. I'm going to make this full screen here. So we have our Rustic Santa, we have the Christmas Truck. This is like a mix of my favorite fall and winter paintings. So we have the Funky Fall Flowers, the Pumpkin with Sunflowers, our Gather wreath, um, our Fall Owl, and our little Christmas Reindeer. These were kids' paintings and only available through my kids' classes, but we've had so many requests from people wanting them that I decided to make them part of this bonus because they're perfect for this time of year. And then the Fall Chapel and Tree of Life series. You'll actually get 2 paintings in that lesson, and then our cozy little snowman. So that is the early bird bonus, which is valued at over $370, and that is your free gift for joining and becoming a Tribe Sister. Um, so let me know in the comments any questions that you have. There are 2 different ways that you can become a Tribe Sister. You can do $47 a month or $470 for a 1-year contract, and that gets you 2 months for free. So you have 2 options to join. Both of these will come— they renew each month. So whatever day you sign up, whatever day of the month, if you sign up today, then on November 2nd your next payment will come out if you do monthly. And then for the yearly, that is a 1-year contract, um, so you can't cancel. I always tell people that make sure if you're not 100% sure you want to hang out with us for a year, then start out monthly, um, and you can always switch to the year contract later if you want to get, um, that discounted rate and the 2 free months as well. So I'm going to pull myself back up on the screen. Let me know if you have any questions. At all, and I will answer those for you. But I thought it would be fun to just kind of show you— I'm going to kind of position it, um, this way— some of the paintings here in person. So I've got the bottom one hanging over here for the Tree of Life, but this is one of the paintings that as part of the bonus you will learn this fall version as well. As the teal version. And then of course we have our Rustic Santa that I'm hiding, our Fall Chapel, which is one of my most popular fall paintings. I love this one, the pumpkins with sunflowers, Funky Fall Flowers. I'm going to show you these two, the reindeer and the fall owl, up close because they're so cute. So this is our little fall owl, and again, this is for all ages. And then I love the little reindeer as well. And then we have the gather wreath that is over there, and then the last one is the cozy little snowman. So all of those are included, um, when you sign up to become a member of Tribe. So for those of you that are new to me, or maybe new to what Tribe is— Tribe is my VIP membership. This is where I do all of my teaching each and every month. So a lot of people follow me, and I'll post work that we're doing, and I'll post new paintings, and everyone's like, I want to paint that, I want to paint that. This is how. So this is how you get access to all of the new work, um, that I come up with. We get 2 new paintings per month inside of Tribe. We do a monthly devotional. In there as well. We have a guest artist and speaker, and then we also just have some fun Tribe Sister community activities. So we do card swaps, we do contests. It's really all about having a community of women that you can paint with, because what we have found over the last 5 years is the women who are really making progress in their painting and really growing in their techniques are the ones who are plugged in to a group. It makes all the difference in the world instead of going at it alone. We are better together. You're going to hear me say that a lot, but try— think of Tribe as like, um, it is a group that is going to lift you up. Not only are you going to learn painting, but you're going to be encouraged. You're not going to feel like you're doing this all alone, and you have access to everything 24/7. So even though I teach live twice a month in the group, you don't have to meet during those times, the replays are always available. You have access to them, and then you get access to the Vault, which is over 5 years worth of content, thousands of dollars worth of value, and over 175 video tutorials. So these were just some of the ones for fall that you can see behind me to kind of give you an idea of what we teach inside of there. But this is just fall. Um, I love to teach everything. Um, acrylic painting, um, is the core of what I teach inside of Tribe, but within that we teach lots of different styles. So I do basic acrylic painting, we do some painting with palette knife, um, we do some impasto style painting where it's more thick and off the canvas. We do mixed media, um, which is one of my favorite loves, um, and that is some thing that we will be doing together in October is finishing our mixed media pumpkin that I started a couple weeks ago on a Facebook Live. We're going to do a huge Tribe Sister Zoom party where we work on that together on October 11th, so the day after doors close. We will be doing, um, that. And then I have a new fall, um, chapel that I'm going to be painting this month as well. So throughout the week, you will get to see some sneak peeks of that, um, as far as what is coming that I'm going to be teaching later this month in October. Um, let me know how many of you would like to see the flipbook of all the different paintings inside of Tribe. I'm going to grab some water really quick. You guys let me know in the comments. Melissa said, I need to get some boards for my hubby to help me make some pallet boards. Yeah, so Corey, um, I'm fortunate enough to have my husband Corey make me the palette boards that a lot of these have been painted on. Those are from back in my paint party days, um, in person. Of course, now we are 100% online. Um, but yeah, the palette boards are fun. And if you can't make them, you can go to any, like, craft store and find their palette boards that still look awesome with paintings on them as well. So let me switch over here. I'm just going to check this screen. Okay, everyone see this okay? Let's do a little flip through here. So I'll post, um, actually, if you go to the link in the description, you can click on this and go back and view this on your own as well. But I'm going to go through it with you guys. But Megan has helped me put together, um, this is a lookbook, so it kind of goes through all of the different categories that we have inside of TRIBE, um, and gives you an example of what you can expect to learn and what my style is inside. How fun is this little digital flip book? So we've got several animals in here. This is the Coastal Collection, which I love. I'm planning on doing some more of those, um, this coming summer. And then of course there's lots of florals. If you've been with me a while, you know I love painting flowers, and there's lots of variety for you to choose from when you become a Sister. And again, you get instant access to all of these, so you're not having to wait for them to be scheduled. You can just log in to your membership library and think of it like, you know, a Netflix for painting. You can just go in there and pick what you want and paint it on your own time. So a lot of people will ask, do I have templates for all of these? And the answer is, for some of them. And here's why: I don't offer a template for every single painting that I offer because Part of what I teach is for you to learn how to make compositions. Now obviously, if it's something a little more difficult like this bee with a lily, that comes with a template so you don't have to freehand that. But a lot of the flowers that we work on, some of the landscapes like this walk in the park, those don't come with templates because I show you step by step how to build those paintings as we go. We have lots of landscapes and lots of different styles of landscapes that you can choose from. So we've done some with palette knife, some with watercolor, some with acrylic. So there's always different variety and different techniques that you can continue to learn. And then we've got some of our spring paintings and summer all of the fall that you can also see behind me. I love fall, it's one of my favorite times of year. So we've got lots of fall paintings inside of TRIBE. And then of course winter and Christmas, we've got— this is the best time to join TRIBE because there are so many fun holiday things for you to choose from as a TRIBE sister. This is one of our newer ones, this little happy Santa that we did last year that made so many cute gifts that the Tribe Sisters made for others, along with our little Merry Christmas tree. And then we have our religious-themed. We've got a cross, we've got some different angels in there and chapels, some art with Bible verses. And then we have our inspirational section where these are just fun, uplifting paintings. So that gives you a look inside what you can expect when you become a Tribe sister. This was our birthday cake that I taught this year because the Tribe turned 5. So we are so excited to be welcoming new members and excited to share this big bonus with you guys. So I just wanted to jump on here really quick and give you kind of a sneak peek into what you can expect. So I hope you guys enjoyed that, and I will be back sharing some more techniques and videos with you throughout the week. If you haven't joined our fall workshop yet, we are starting tonight at 6. You can still join us. So this is what we are going to start tonight. Let me get this this off of the screen. So we're doing our fall sunflowers tonight. It's only $10 to sign up and join us. You can still join us, and tonight is the welcome ceremony and kind of like our studio technique session, which is something that I also do inside of Tribe. The fall workshop is a great way for you to come and hang out with me for only $10, and within this next 5 days that we're going to spend together in that workshop, it will give you kind of an inside look of what it is like to be inside of TRIBE. So the studio technique sessions is another part of TRIBE where I do pre-recorded videos where I'm really just showing you technique. It's not about a painting from, you know, start to finish. It's about understanding certain techniques that we're going to discuss in that painting. So it's kind of like extra little homework assignments that will really help you learn some of the fundamentals of art. And I think this has been, you know, a great addition to what we offer inside of Tribe and super, super helpful for you. So tonight in the group, we're going to talk about everything to expect for the week. I'm going to do some color mixing lessons, show you how to work on palette knife some of those different fundamentals that we will need for that fun painting. Um, so that gives you a little insight of what you can expect for that. So I hope you guys have an awesome Monday. If you missed, um, my Monday morning devotional, you can go back to the videos tab, um, on Facebook, or you can, um, catch the replay on YouTube as well. It's, um, hosted in both places. And, um, I will see you guys later. Bye!
