Over-flowing art supplies, half-finished paintings, endless ideas ... It can be difficult to find a way through all the noise.
Imagine inviting ease into your creative process. Creating more with less and bringing mindfulness to the way that you approach your art.
In this class, you can! We'll strip things right back and work with neutral colours, earthy textures, and simple design.
You'll create a cohesive set of mixed media paintings, plus there's a wonderful bonus lesson that shows you how you can use these principles to create quick watercolour/ink paintings. This is one of my most popular classes as the process is calming and suited to all levels including complete beginners!
Class Overview
This class includes 2 hours of professionally edited video instruction, broken down into manageable chunks. The videos are supported with written content in the classroom. Scroll further down to see the course curriculum including video duration.
Minimal Magic is suitable for all levels but especially popular with beginners. It's easy to follow, packed with mixed media techniques and includes great tips on colour mixing and composition.
Inside the course, you will ...
- Practice mixing your own colours on old book pages. We'll mix plenty of nourishing neutrals!
- Learn how to create subtle textures using items from around the home.
- Discover the advantages of making small studies / working in a series.
- Add details including botanical drawings, inky line-work, paint pen patterns and loose pencil sketches.
- Create simple compositions and discover how easy this is when you use collage and can rearrange pieces before glueing everything down.
Watch this Painting Come to Life!
You will also see how you can use a similar approach with watercolour or ink paintings like this one! This painting is demonstrated from start to finish in the class.
It's one of my favourite ways to work. Once you start, it's hard to stop. The options are endless and all you need is a few paints and a mark-making tool or two e.g. pen, pencil or pastel.

Laura’s classes have encouraged me to find my inner artist. The warmth and pace of the classes allows me to work at my own level and has motivated me to explore further.
