You’re not “just” an artist. You’re building a business.
The Permission to Paint 2027 Planner: made for your creative brain. Map your goals, track your progress and stay inspired, without the burnout.
Reconnect with your creative rhythm
You didn’t become an artist to spend your life chasing admin tasks or fighting your calendar.
You became an artist to create. To share. To be paid for doing what you love.
But somewhere along the way, you became the artist and the business owner - and everyone else's person too. No wonder your creative practice keeps slipping down the list.
That’s where the Permission to Paint Planner comes in. It's a 2027 planner, available as a print-at-home PDF or a limited-edition printed copy, designed to help you hold your art, your business and your real life, all in one place.
It helps you:
âś… Get clear on your creative & business goals
âś… Focus on one priority at a time
âś… Track progress without overwhelm
âś… Stay motivated with reflection prompts, affirmations & encouragement
âś… Build a rhythm that works with your creativity not against it
Because your art deserves to be front and centre... not squeezed between to-do lists.
What’s inside the planner?
You get 224 beautifully designed pages, all dated for 2027 and crafted for creatives who want clarity and flexibility. Download the instant PDF and print it your way, or choose the printed edition, ready to use from day one.

Is this for me?
This is for you if:
✔️You’re a new, emerging or established artist who wants to grow your art business without losing your soul
✔️You’ve tried traditional planners, but they don’t think like you do
✔️You’ve felt burnout, overthinking, or guilt around making time for your art
✔️You want a simple system that helps you stay consistent
✔️You love dreaming, planning, and tracking but on your terms
You don’t need to change who you are to succeed.
You just need tools that honour how you work best.

Meet Ros - your guide
Hi lovely, I’m Ros Gervay - artist, mentor, and creative mum from Sydney, Australia.
This is the fourth edition of the Permission to Paint Planner - and it’s been shaped by real artists, not business gurus.
🌸 It started as a simple goal-setting resource I made for my artist clients.
🌸 Then grew into a full planner, created in collaboration with my dear artist friend Sandra Gale.
🌸 And now? It’s better than ever - refined through feedback from dozens of artists who’ve used it and shared what truly works.
This year's refresh came straight from what you told me: a bigger space for weekly notes, a dedicated spot to plan your social media and email content, business stats built into your weekly spread as well as your monthly one, and a task page that actually helps you decide what to let go of.
And for the first time, you can hold it in your hands. I've created a small first print run of just 20 copies for the artists who asked for a ready-made version.
What makes this planner different is the balance: it’s structured enough to support your goals, yet flexible enough to honour your creativity. It’s built with self-kindness, alignment, and actual artist life in mind.
Because you deserve tools that support how you work - not how someone else thinks you should.
Let’s make 2027 your most creatively aligned year yet.
Ros x
