Paint The Rainbow Boat with your kids this weekend
Three beginner lessons, a parent guide and a printable template. One finished painting on the fridge — no art background needed, and under $20 of supplies.
- Works with a 5-year-old and a 12-year-old at the same table
- Printable boat template — nobody has to draw it from scratch
- A parent guide, so you always know what to say next
- You press play. I teach. You don't have to know how to paint.
Sound familiar?
“I'm not an artist. How am I supposed to teach art?”
“My kids are 5 and 11. I'm not running two different activities.”
“Every project I find online needs a supply run and two hours of prep.”
You don't need talent. You need someone to hand you the plan — the materials, the steps, the words to say when your kid says “mine looks wrong.” That's what The Rainbow Boat is.
What's inside The Rainbow Boat
Sky and water
Wet-on-wet washes — the part where beginners panic. I show you exactly where the “mistakes” become the best part of the painting.
The rainbow boat
Every panel of the sail in its own color, and the small details that make a kid say “I made that.” Signed, dated, and ready for the fridge.
Parent guide
Two pages: what to prep, what to say at each step, and what to do when your kid decides theirs looks wrong. Written for you, not for an art teacher.
Printable template
The boat outline, ready to print. Younger kids trace it and go straight to painting; older kids draw it freehand next to it.
Hi, I'm Miss DJ.
Djully on paper — Miss DJ to every kid who's walked into my studio. Visual artist and art educator. Degree in Visual Arts, two years of Psychology, training in Art Therapy. Born in Brazil, lived in Mexico, now based in Texas.
I've taught in schools, in art schools, and in my own studio — children, teenagers, adults, seniors, people with special needs. And I kept seeing the same thing: people who saw themselves as creative simply stopped. Not because they lost interest. Because nobody gave them structure.
Creativity doesn't disappear. It gets neglected.
Parents who've already learned from me
“I highly recommend this art studio. My daughter is currently attending classes. The teacher, DJ, is very dedicated to her students, taking the time to ensure they truly learn the beauty of art.”
“Ms. Djully is a true gem! My son loves every class and comes home beaming, brimming with new skills and proud of his work. She has a magical way of making complex techniques easy for children to understand. She doesn't just teach — she teaches children to see the world as artists.”
“I loved the experience at COR Art Studio! It's a welcoming and beautifully decorated space, full of charm and elegance.”
“Lovely studio space! Dju is very talented and I highly recommend!”
Miss DJ has taught art in her studio for years. The Rainbow Boat is that same teaching, at your kitchen table.
Before you sign up
Yes — that's who it's built for. You're not teaching. You press play and paint alongside your kids, with the parent guide open next to you. Every step is on screen.
A basic watercolor set, paper, and two brushes — under $20 total, and the exact list with links is in Class 1. The boat template is printable and included, so nobody has to draw it from scratch. If you already have craft-store watercolors, use those.
Ages 5 to 14 — kids and teens at the same table. Younger kids trace the template and paint loose, older kids draw it freehand and go after the details. Same project, different depth.
Really free. No card, no trial. The three lessons, the parent guide and the template are yours to keep.
One project. One afternoon. Free.
Let's get some paint on the table.
