I loved this course. I am not a total beginner but always looking for inspiration and new ideas. Mimi's instruction is perfect and easy to follow and the beauty of Udemy is you can go back over and over to repeat the bits you want to do again.

I have been a professional artist (with a background in graphic design) for 15 years, selling my art all around the world.

Like most people, I felt overwhelmed and shy when I decided to launch myself into the world of painting and since I couldn't find the style I liked, I simply created my own and you can do the same!

I am here to share and teach my passion through fun and exciting tutorials that will build your confidence as a beginner artist, and will take you in new directions if you are already experienced.
