How it works:
- You can tune into this course with each new lesson, will receive lifetime access, and go at your own pace! Anytime you may try the new lessons, receive feedback from me, and go back to old lessons and be excited for new ones to come each month. People from all around the world join this course and go at their own pace as it fits into their schedule.
- Learn to most in depth creative styles to make that magic happen. Learn script, intuitive painting, paper play, composition, design, and in the end, a series of paintings that absolutely shine!
- Basic supplies are needed. I like to work on a variety of substrates with economical choices as an option for you. Acrylic paint, acrylic ink, Caran D’ache Neocolor II crayons, water-based paint pens, watercolors, and gold leaf are some of my favorite supplies. The specific supply list will be given out after sign up. You can buy based on your budget.
- We begin this course with me sharing an array of warm up lessons for creative flow and technique. This way you can discover what clicks for you and all the ways I create layered and luscious paintings. Script, collage, color play, how layers work and playful yet deep understanding of the elements and principles will be introduced.

“I’m taking your [e-course] and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your inner beauty and bountiful wisdom. I have a history with ailments like seasonal affective disorder and anxiety, so it can life can be hard. Your class has been my go-to for when I need to calm down, and I try to paint as often as possible and think and write about grace in all its forms. I’m now noticing how grace seems to manifest itself in our everyday lives, something I never would have taken note of if not for your lessons. I can’t tell you how much YOU have contributed to my mental stability. I’m filled with motivation and a renewed determination to enjoy life, and I can’t thank you enough. This class has been cure I needed that no doctor could prescribe.”

Artist“For the first time in years I really felt fun and joy and freedom in the process. I know your gentle and quick-fire teaching helped with this …it gave me permission to just play. I’ve had lots of other teachers talk about play …but suddenly I’m there!!! I’m now officially addicted to this style!!! It takes me home to my love of bright clashing colours, lots of detail, texture and playful imagery. I see know how I can combine my love of making faces with everything else I love. Anyway, I just wanted to share that your course landed SO right for me. I see myself now–my creative vibe and heart and I feel so grateful that you’ve been the catalyst for this!!! Thank you so much Alena. Can’t tell you what a blessing it’s been on my creative resurrection!!!

Artist and Author“A Year Of Painting has kept me inspired, enthused, and productively creating throughout the year with Alena’s fresh monthly lessons and techniques. I’ve enjoyed A Year Of Painting so immensely that I’ve taken it three times! Alena stretches me to take her ideas and put my own twist on them, yet she offers enough support to take on new challenges, good for all levels of experience. Her bonus, live online talks are enriching, and she’s very generous in sharing her artwork and thought process. I have definitely grown in my confidence and persistence in creating art regularly through my participation. I’ve found such a lovely, supportive and encouraging tribe through her private group. I whole heartedly recommend her class. You will love her!”
