Pumpkin Patch Keeper
Paint an adorable scarecrow sitting on a pumpkin. “Pumpkin Patch Keeper” has optional traceable templates as well as drawing instruction.
You will notice there are now “Quick Instructions” along with the traditional long PDF instructions that I write. After numerous requests, I am trialing these quick instructions which will be only 2 pages long and they have a condensed version of the tutorial. These are helpful for those that don’t want the long version or instructors that just want a quick overview.

There is no new tutorial this week, however, I sent an email out with a previous tutorial and now with a new PDF & traceable. “Fall Tree” is an easy painting with a unique perspective.

Membership Website Update
My online software that I use for the membership had a major update that happened over the weekend (June 6).
Here are some things to know:
- When you login, it is going to ask you to confirm your profile. You don’t have to enter anything in here other than your name! Everything is set to private so you won’t be able to see other profiles other than you (but we can see each other’s comments if you leave a comment on a post).
- Nothing has changed with the tutorials! They are all still there and you still have access to everything you’ve had before.
- If you are NOT a member but you have downloads that you purchased, you still have access to your downloads! And, no, you weren’t thrown into the membership 🙂 You will just see a new layout for your downloads that you have purchased. That is all!
- This page you are on (the “Member’s Library”) did not change. It is still here and if you enjoy searching for tutorials in this area of my website, it will still lead you to where you need to go! (The url for this site is: members.stepbysteppainting.net)
- There is a chance you may come across a broken link. If you do, please reach out! I heavily tested everything last weekend to make sure everything is working, however, I may have missed something!
My direct email is: tracieannekiernan@gmail.com if you have any questions or are having trouble navigating.
Thank you so much for your understanding and support with this new update!
Summer Garden Goose
This ADORABLE goose is our bonus members only tutorial for the month of June! Tutorial includes a template for the goose, PDF instructions, traceables resized for different canvas sizes and full video.
This is our BONUS TUTORIAL for the month of June 2026!
Coastal Aesthetic – Canvas Series – Acrylic Painting Tutorial
This is a unique tutorial in that it includes THREE small 8×8 canvases featuring an ocean treasure with blue & gold abstract background. The paintings can also work as stand alone paintings but were designed to be put together in a series of square canvases. You can also do this with a partner or as a group (everyone can pick their own design)!
Change the background if you want and have fun! The background consists of fun abstract techniques including dry brushing/ splattering layers of blue and gold.
There are three templates you can use for this to trace the simple designs on onto the canvases. There are also instructions for how to draw the shells. If you need a traceable resize, let me know! They have only been sized for an 8×8 canvas.
