Every week, I hear from women who long to make art but are scared to start or unsure if they’re good enough to try it. Maybe you can relate or are hesitant to start because you don’t have...
The perfect space or uninterrupted quiet time
The skills or special talent for drawing and painting
An abundance of art supplies and the know-how to use them
but what if I told you none of those things actually matter?
Hi, I’m Laly Mille
When I first started making art I was 32: I’m a “late bloomer”! I had no idea what I was doing, but loved every second of it.
I hadn’t gone to a fancy art school.
I hadn’t always considered myself a gifted artist (in fact, I applied to design school in my thirties and was turned down because my drawing skills were considered too poor!).
I didn’t have an art studio (my kitchen table was my art space for years!).
And the only time I had to paint was at night when my two little kids were asleep.
Just like how flowers can grow in a crack of the pavement, or right after a storm, I bloomed as an artist despite not having the perfect conditions, the right supplies or any experience…
…AND YOU CAN TOO!

“This was my first venture onto canvas instead of an art journal and it was terrifying and WONDERFUL! I kept a vase with blushing pink roses on my desk the whole time to inspire me. Thank you Laly!”

The Lessons
Through 8 inspiring art projects, you’ll create a whole body of floral artworks!
Part 1: Embrace Imperfection
What better place to start than letting go of perfectionism, loosening up and embracing the beauty of imperfection?
Together we’re going to:
doodle and sketch with our non-dominant hand
explore imaginary flowers
have fun with collage
explore chalk paint and watercolor
layer white on white; and
paint outside of the lines!
WARM-UP SERIES
Let’s warm-up by playing with our non-dominant hand to create a series of happy, slightly grungy little posies…
MAIN PROJECT
… then we’ll move on to the canvas and embrace simplicity with a delightful bouquet!
Part 2: Delight in Color
Permission granted to play with every color of the rainbow! Painting flowers can be as easy as sprinkling confetti and dabbing little dots with your brush or your fingers! Gather all your colorful supplies and put on your impressionist glasses!
TOGETHER WE’RE GOING TO:
combine color and light
layer collage, paints, inks and more
experiment with different compositions
play with scale from a mini study to a larger canvas
explore finishing touches (so important to build your own unique, recognizable style!)
WARM-UP SERIES
Let’s start with a fun, super colorful warm-up series and explore different compositions…
MAIN PROJECT
… then we’ll take our favorite and blow it up on a much bigger canvas!
Part 3: Texture & Contrast
Who said florals couldn't be a little dark and grungy? Let’s create something completely different, drawing inspiration from wildflowers, their untamed beauty, movement and graphic lines.
TOGETHER WE’RE GOING TO:
create a super textured “not-so-blank” canvas with fabric, cardboard and more
etch our designs into a thick coat of gesso and let ink run into the grooves
play with neutrals, light and dark
stitch into our paintings; and
use flowers as painting tools creating unique papers!
WARM-UP SERIES
Combining lots of yummy materials with black & white, we will create a series of mini collage artworks…
MAIN PROJECT
… then we’ll keep going on this wildflower adventure with a grungy and beautifully textured painting.
Part 4: Dare to Bloom!
For our final lesson, let’s bring together everything we’ve explored in the class, as we combine intuition and serendipity with the more structured look of a grid composition.
TOGETHER WE’RE GOING TO:
work with a favorite color palette
finger-paint flowers over collage
find inspiration in the process of art journaling and incorporate words into our painting
add an image as our focal point!
WARM-UP SERIES
Let’s fill a page with words, color and flowers, taking a moment to reflect on what makes us bloom. Then we’ll cut it into mini paintings, and finish each one individually.
MAIN PROJECT
Let’s create a painting that celebrates all our discoveries: color, texture, light, lines, contrast, and above all, the beauty of flowers and joyful playfulness of mixed media art!
Bonus Lesson
‘The Poetic Botanist’
Let’s celebrate the delicate beauty of vintage botanicals!
In this short art journaling project, we’ll combine vintage floral art with beautiful poetry and fun image transfers. Together they’ll create a romantic and vintage feel!
In total, Flower Flow has over 14 hours of high-quality, beautifully shot video lessons and 9 art projects. I show and explain everything in detail, and I encourage you to make the process yours and work with what you’ve got. If you've ever taken a class with me, you know I like to keep it clear and super inspiring!
The class is in English with English closed captions available.
“I had never painted flowers before this class and Laly’s instruction made it simple and beautiful. I love the rich textures and layers of color in Laly’s work. Her techniques have definitely increased my ability to make beautiful art. Thanks Laly for this wonderful class!”
— PAM L.
“Flower Flow has taught me to trust the intuitive process of my art. From messy sketches using my non-dominant hand to a beautiful canvas I am proud to display in my home, your techniques have given me confidence in expression rather than perfection.”
— RAEWYN S.
“I went from never painting a flower before to a literal garden of artworks around my studio. I absolutely loved the warm up lessons and even framed a few of my mini series. I completed every single exercise and painting project — it took me out of my comfort zone and I did not want it to end!”
— TRACY V.
Happy students & their art!

Your Questions Answered
If you don’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to reach out by email at admin@lalymille.com. My husband William & I will do our best to help!
I've never painted or tried mixed media before. I can't even draw a straight line! Can I really do this class?
Yes! This class has been designed with beginners in mind. The beauty of mixed media is that everything is always fixable and you can cover up any “mistakes”. Plus, flowers are the most forgiving and satisfying subject (no straight lines there!). They’re often one of our favorite things to draw as children, and combining flowers with mixed media is a wonderful way to reconnect to this childlike joy, unlock your creativity and boost your confidence while having plenty of fun! Plus, with lifetime access you’ll be able to go at your own pace and revisit the lessons again and again, as you grow your skills.
I don’t have a lot of art supplies. Will I need to spend hundreds of dollars on paints, brushes and collage materials?
No! I believe you can make beautiful art even if you’re not buying premium art supplies. Many of the collage materials I’m suggesting for this class can be found around the house: magazines, scraps of fabric, cardboard and other textures, images you print from the web, etc. I’ll even show you how to use furniture chalk paint in a background!
I’m an experienced artist. Will there be anything I can learn from this class?
Absolutely! What you’ll find in my classes is a fellow artist sharing every detail of her authentic process. Flower Flow will help you loosen up, renew your inspiration and reconnect to the pure joy of making art, while discovering some of my best tips that I use all the time as a professional artist. Plus some unique techniques that you won’t find anywhere else!

I’m a self-taught artist and a certified creativity coach, and I teach in a heart-centered, non-academic way. You’ll see me in action and will be guided to explore your own world, inside and out. All my classes aim at bringing you closer to your most authentic creative voice.The workshops are full of my personal techniques, some I’ve learned and pass on in my own ways, others I’ve discovered through happy accidents and experimentation.
The workshops are full of my personal techniques, some I’ve learned and pass on in my own ways, others I’ve discovered through happy accidents and experimentation.
I also offer plenty of creative tips and strategies to make your practice unique, overcome your blocks and challenge yourself to gently expand your comfort zone.
To know if a class will be the right fit for you, trust your intuition. If it feels exciting and stirs your curiosity, if it resonates in a way that feels really good, that feels like joy, like home, or like a big good sigh and a smile... then it most certainly is for you. Let your inner artist guide you!

Let your inner artist guide you!
If, on the other hand, you’re looking only for technical instructions, or for an academic class where you submit work and get detailed feedback and critique, then this is not the right place.
If you’re not comfortable with words like soul, intuition, intention, mindfulness, affirmation, magic, or if seeing me draw an oracle card for inspiration makes you cringe… then my classes are probably not for you.
When in doubt, I encourage you to start with one of my free lessons to see if my teaching style resonates with you. Please note that refunds will not be made after registration for a paid class.

My classes are e-courses, hosted online, and members get an individual, private account to access all their classes on my teaching platform.
All classes are self-study and self-paced. They’re not academic classes. There are no assignments to submit, no grades, no schedule, no certificates of completion, no live conferences. There’s no schedule to comply with, no “catching up” or “falling behind”, ever. They’re simply a space of freedom and creativity for you to explore and enjoy.
Most classes have lifetime access (as per our terms of service, "lifetime" means for the lifetime of the program). The videos are pre-recorded, so you can watch them at your own pace, whenever you want, and as many times as you wish. It’s up to you to find the rhythm that suits you best. Make time regularly to complete your course. It’s a gift you’re giving yourself!
-
For most of my classes, you get lifetime access to the classroom and videos. "Lifetime" technically means for the lifetime of the program. If we were to retire a course (which so far has never happened), we’d give you several months' notice so you have plenty of time to complete the lessons. You can watch the videos within the classroom as often and as many times as you wish.
To protect the integrity of our content (and all the work that went into creating it) the videos are not downloadable. Therefore, before signing up, please make sure that your internet connection allows you to smoothly stream high-resolution videos online. Refunds will not be made after registration.

Yes. We have a private community forum within the classroom site where I check in once a week to answer questions and see what you’ve shared! Of course, I also do my best to offer as much information as possible within the class videos, text and other resources. Don’t hesitate to watch twice and pause the videos! The other participants will also be able to help you.
Please keep in mind that the classroom site is the place where all the teaching takes place. I won’t answer individual questions by email or direct messaging, nor in the Facebook group. The Classroom Community forum is accessible directly from within the menu of the classes.
-
Of course! We have the most vibrant, positive and encouraging online community, and we can't wait to welcome you!
You can share photos of what you create and connect with others in the Classroom Community forum within the classroom site.
You can also connect with fellow participants of all my classes in our private, optional Facebook group “Laly’s Atelier”.
We also have Instagram hashtags to help participants find each other on this platform.

“What a joy these lessons have been to me! I learned so much about media I never knew existed and have added quite a bit to my supplies. Your method of teaching is most helpful. The community you've created is so encouraging and comforting. Thank you for sharing your gift and for connecting artists from around the globe.”
— SANDRA R.
“I am proud of the “mistakes” that shifted my mindset and moved me to discover my own style. With Flower Flow, seeds of hope were planted. I began nurturing my process daily and gradually, I began to look at my efforts with satisfaction. Embracing the process and getting lost in a journey of self-discovery has brought me great joy.”
