Here´s what we will create in the two Main Lessons
✨ Lesson 1
Theia — Goddess of Divine Light
A watercolor and mixed media journey into radiance, elegance, and celestial beauty
Step into the luminous realm of Theia, the ancient goddess of divine light and creative brilliance.
In this soul-nourishing lesson, we’ll bring her to life in a glowing mixed media portrait — combining watercolor, pastel, and colored pencil to capture her serene power, her halo of stars, and the gentle shimmer of divine light.
You’ll discover how to blend refined detail and free expression, creating depth, glow, and movement as you paint a face filled with calm strength and sacred beauty.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, this layered process will guide you gently, step by step, toward your own radiant result.
In this lesson, you’ll explore:
-
How to paint a celestial portrait — combining classical drawing with modern, expressive watercolor.
-
The secrets of Ida’s “layered cake” method: clear stages that build confidence and beauty from base sketch to luminous finish.
-
Creating glowing skin tones through transparent watercolor glazes and natural, harmonious color families.
- How to balance soft realism and loose freedom — painting faces that feel alive and radiant.
-
A mindful, heart-centered creative rhythm that helps you trust the process and enjoy every layer.
✨ Lesson 2
The Wolf Princess
A watercolor and mixed media journey into winter light and spirit animal magic
In this gentle, playful mixed media session we’ll step into a world of winter tales, wild freedom, and soft intuition. Inspired by the energy of spirit animals and ancient High North folklore, this painting session invites you to explore that wild, intuitive part of your creative self — the part that loves to run free, trust the process, and paint straight from the heart.
Together we’ll create a spirit animal portrait — a luminous princess and her gentle wolf companion — using watercolors, pan pastels, and a sprinkle of mixed media magic. You’ll learn to build up beautiful, soft layers of color, work with muted winter tones of turquoise, violet and white, and let your painting unfold naturally as you go.
We’ll also explore how to make colors “sing” together — how to balance the bright and the muddy tones so they tell a story of light and shadow. You’ll see how even simple touches like gold details, spattered snow, or tiny “ice flowers” can make your painting come alive.
This is a relaxed and heartwarming art session — full of dreamy northern light, feminine strength, and the joy of painting from pure intuition.
In this lesson you’ll:
-
Paint your own spirit animal portrait — a fairy-tale inspired princess and her wolf companion.
-
Explore watercolor and mixed media layering with a soft, wintery palette of turquoise, violet, and white.
-
Learn to mix muted and harmonious tones that make your colors glow beautifully together.
-
Play with light textures and snowy effects using spatters, lifting, Posca pens, and gold touches.
-
Discover the freedom of intuitive painting — following your inner compass instead of strict plans.
-
Connect with the energy of the wolf — a symbol of intuition, freedom, and creative strength.
Instant Bonus: Color Circle Basics
Instant access when you join the retreat!
Start your journey right away with this vibrant foundational lesson in color mixing and harmony.
In Color Circle Basics, you’ll create your very own watercolor color wheel — a beautiful, painterly guide that helps you truly understand how colors blend and interact.
You’ll learn to mix secondary hues with confidence, balance your palette, and make smart, creative color choices for every painting. This gentle yet powerful practice builds clarity, confidence, and a deep connection to color — giving you the perfect start before the retreat begins.
(Originally part of my Art Soul Living – Creative Academy, this lesson is a beloved favorite among students and a wonderful introduction to my mixed media process.)
