Imagine the Possibilities

Faerie Folk is a self-paced course with a full year's worth of lessons inspired by wee wanders in a wooded wonderland. You'll learn to create enchanting illustrations of faeries, forest fauna, and flora — masculine and feminine characters set against layered, atmospheric woodland scenes — using detailed pencil drawing, watercolor techniques, and mixed-media exploration. Equipped with a trusty mechanical pencil and curated watercolor palettes, you'll build each illustration from intricate line art through lush washes of color and expressive mixed-media layering. The course includes twelve unique faerie illustrations — one per month, each brought to life through detailed handout packets and in-depth painting videos that guide you from first line to finished piece.

Unlock a New Skill

With a background in graphic design and fine art, I create illustrations that tell hidden stories. In this course, we'll explore watercolor-based mixed media — layering new tools and materials one at a time alongside techniques you already know and trust. Introducing something new gradually keeps your learning curve manageable while opening the door to unexpected and exciting results. Adding mixed media to your watercolor process gives your illustrations depth, texture, and a sense of magic that pure watercolor alone can't achieve. It's an approachable way to experiment, grow, and discover which supplies make their way into your own signature style.

Build Your Craft

Committing to a full year's worth of lessons is like stepping deeper into an enchanted forest — the more you wander, the more you discover. Imagine building your skills month by month, developing creative muscle memory through consistent, repetitive practice at a relaxed, unhurried pace — no rush, just you and your art taking shape over time. With each faerie, you'll see real growth in your drawing confidence, your intuition with color, and your ability to create characters and scenes that are unmistakably yours. This course isn't just about learning — it's about cultivating something enduring in both your skills and your creative spirit, creating a depth that shorter classes simply can't match.
