Does your creativity feel like lukewarm sludge?
Craving that freshly ground, bold hit of inspiration?
Creative Espresso is your game changer.
Do you wish you could stay consistent?
Longing for accountability and confidence, without that nagging self-doubt?
Want to pick up those sharpened pencils without drowning in self-criticism?
And, are you maybe—just maybe—craving inspiration that actually gets you excited again?
Well, listen up…
First off, quit the storytelling. You are an artist—even if you’re wrestling with self-doubt, an annoyingly loud inner critic, or haven’t made anything in what feels like forever.
Here’s the deal…
What if we helped you sharpen that confidence and strengthen your creative muscles?
(No sweaty gym sessions required… promise. 😅)
Creative Espresso is the latest creation from award-winning artist, writer, and mentor Marenthe.
Including 25 magical projects, 25 stunning worksheets, and 25,000 aha moments. 💡
Coffee Break Alert: Put your phone on Do Not Disturb and lend me your ears. 😅👀🎩
Listen up, if this sounds like you, don’t go spilling coffee on that pristine white blouse. Read this like it’s the last piece of chocolate in the box.
Your life’s spinning around work, weekend chaos, dog walks, kids needing meals. Your creativity is simmering on the back burner—and boy, it’s infuriating. AND...
You know there’s a wild creative beast in you. But where the heck did you stash those brushes? Out of reach from the kids’ “culinary experiments,” right? Your paint tubes are as dry as your inner artist. Scrolling through Instagram, you’re thinking, “WTF? Why am I not creating? Where did my juicy creative spirit run off to?” Cue the tears.
When you finally sit down, you stare at your artwork like, “WHAT IS THIS? Since when did I forget how to paint? Is this like unlearning to ride a bike?” Ugh.
Ever heard of Creative Flow? Sounds like a yogurt brand, right? Instead, frustration creeps in. 👻 Your inner artist feels like it’s screaming into the void. You crave inspiration, but all you’ve got time for is finger painting with the kids.
WHAT to draw? WHERE to start? WHY does every day feel the same? Authentic voice? Maybe when you retire! OH, the agony.
Bonus points if you:
A) DESPERATELY crave simple content that flexes those withered artistic muscles.
B) Have a demanding boss, and your colleagues would LAUGH if they knew you’d rather be snuggled under a blanket with your art journal.
C) Feel like your inner artist is playing hide and seek…and winning.
Or do these creepy-crawly thoughts scuttle up while you’re lounging on the couch, when you break into a cold sweat because you realize you’ve been staring into space for an hour and created zilch?
And then, here comes the guilt train… Choo-choo, because, yep, you’ve just wasted time.
Why do I feel like a clown juggling pencils, with no circus in sight?
How did my journal turn into a moldy mandarin experiment?
WHO cares if I make art or not? Maybe my goldfish...?
Why did I rank my creativity at a pitiful #399, and why do those other 398 things seem way more pressing?
Why do I scroll through Instagram like a zombie craving endorphins, only to think: I WANT THAT, too!
Why am I wasting my time?
Why does the mere thought of creating again make me sweat like I’m about to run a marathon... backwards?
WHO CARES???
Creating something and cozying up to your creative side isn’t rocket science. And yes, that still goes for busy moms juggling 285 high-maintenance tasks and teaching algebra, or even running a goldfish empire.
Stop beating yourself up—it’s not just you: 99% of creatives on this planet are wrestling with the same beast. Procrastination? Totally normal. But, let’s face it, it’s not doing you any favors.
Sometimes you just need a friendly nudge—a barista in your inbox, brewing up encouragement, inspiration, or maybe checking if you’ve fed the goldfish. (Kidding, kinda.)
Here’s the thing.
Your joy’s been hijacked by procrastination and creative fear. Totally normal. We ALL struggle with it.
Our mission?

And that’s exactly what Creative Espresso is all about.
JOY and tiny steps.
Every week, a small shot of creative delight lands in your inbox.
No MUSTs, only CANs. 😉
Creative Espresso is for creatives thirsting for a swig of wild inspiration from an artist (named Marenthe!) who gets it: there’s only 24 hours in a day (and 23 of them are spent whipping up breakfast for the kids, working, sleeping, and fishing toys out of the goldfish tank).

Quick Quick Slow 💃
Creative Espresso isn’t a fluffy art class. 🤔 Oh no. Creative Espresso is about seeing, slowing down, and building consistency. Sitting down regularly and creating with your hands is like nurturing a gleaming coffee bean that buries itself right into your heart.

Messaging Artist & Inspirational Speaker
Meet Marenthe, the creative powerhouse behind Creative Espresso
Let us introduce you to Marenthe—a powerhouse award-winning artist, the creative genius behind Creative Espresso, and the founder of The Art Beat Club. She’s worked with big names like Hallmark, Heineken, Oilily, Philips, museums, ministries, and even a few famous actresses.
Oh, and by the way, Phaidon Press (yes, THE Phaidon Press) named her one of the 100 most visionary designers in the world. And Lilla Rogers snapped her up when she won the coveted Global Talent Search in the US.
Creative Espresso is all about giving artists and creatives the structure and inspiration they need to stop doubting, procrastinating, and hesitating—and get back to MAKING.
Marenthe’s got an impressive résumé, a master’s in graphic design, multiple successful creative businesses, and over 30 years of experience in the professional art world. She’s a trailblazer who plays by her own rules and creates new ones as she goes.
And lucky for you, she’s sharing everything she’s learned—with heart—and going all in for her students.
Proof’s in the pudding
These are the unfiltered words from students about the courses at The Art Beat Club:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Frequently Asked Questions:
“I don’t have time.”
Let’s be honest. Scrolling through socials, overthinking, doubting your brilliance—those are the real time thieves. They’re draining your energy faster than you can drink your morning coffee.
Take a little off the top of those distractions and voilà—suddenly, you’ve got time to work on what actually lights you up.
“I can’t draw.”
Nonsense.
There’s no right or wrong in Creative Espresso Land. No deadlines, no grumpy art teachers breathing down your neck.
Of course you can draw. You know how to hold a pencil, right?
Exactly.
We bring the inspo; you do your thing. Doodle on your walls if you like. As long as it makes you happy, we’re happy.
“When will I get my first email?”
The moment you sign up, boom—you’ll get your first email. After that? A fresh Creative Espresso lands in your inbox every Friday!
“Can I start today, or is there a specific start date?”
You can sign up any day of the year. And yep, you can dive in right away.
“What if I go on vacation or need a break?”
You can’t pause the emails, BUT no stress—you create at your own pace. Need a break? Take it. Save the emails and pick up when you’re ready. Easy peasy.
“I’m a perfectionist.”
Behind every perfectionist is an uncertain superhero. 🦸♀️
And that’s okay.
Perfectionism has its place—like when you’re drawing eyeliner wings. But don’t let it run the show. Let those lines be straight or wobbly. Perfectionism’s great when it helps, but when it doesn’t? Toss it aside and have some fun.
Knowing when to flex that perfectionism muscle—that’s the real magic. ✨
“I give up easily.”
Building a creative routine takes a bit of discipline, yeah. But hey—we’re 100% sure you’ve got this.
Giving up? Not a big deal. What matters is picking it back up when you’re ready. No guilt trips, no beating yourself up.
Pro-tip: Set yourself a compassionate ultimatum. Allow yourself to skip a session once a month if you need to. Then, hop back on the creative train. You’ll be amazed what a little breathing room can do.
“When do I get access to the academy?”
As soon as you sign up!
And guess what? You’ve got lifetime access (unless aliens or worms from Mars take over the internet… which we can’t really help with).
“Can I give Creative Espresso as a gift?”
Such a fun idea!
And YES, you can! Just pop in your billing details and the lucky recipient’s email, and boom—they’ll get a shiny welcome email with their login info.
“Do I get personal guidance?”
Nope, no personal guidance here.
And honestly? That’s a good thing. You don’t need anyone making you feel like you HAVE to do something. That’s not the vibe here.
“Is this a repeat of a course from The Art Beat Club?”
Creative Espresso is a blend of the 2023 and 2024 Summer Art School courses, but make no mistake—this version is 10,000 times more irresistible. With gorgeous worksheets and updated, expanded assignments.
“What if I want to cancel my purchase?”
If it’s not your jam, no worries. You’ve got 14 days to cancel—no questions asked. Just email us at hallo@marenthe.nl, and we’ll sort it out.
