In art as in life, our inner critic is often the voice we most readily listen to. It can get so loud that it drowns the loving whispers of our hearts.

Does any of the following feel familiar?

You struggle with perfectionism, never feeling that you, and your art, will ever be good enough.

You need to reconnect to the playfulness of your inner kiddo and let her know she’s doing great, no matter what.

Your loving nature means you always put the needs and demands of others first.

Remember to make yourself a priority, so you can love others better. Giving yourself the creative time you need is an act of self-care that will ripple out.

Fear of failing often keeps you from trying new things and enjoying the process itself.

You need a clear path and instructions that will help you relax and play, while leading you to a result you’ll love.

Your heart knows the way!

Hi, I’m Laly Mille

I believe that the most beautiful and meaningful art comes straight from your heart. Take a moment and close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly… can you feel your heart beat? Love and peace are always there, at the very core of your being, ready to radiate into your life.

But sometimes, your inner critic might get so noisy that you can’t hear those tender whispers. It will always find “good” excuses to prevent you from making art, telling you that you don’t deserve it, or that you’re not good at it. We all have that inner voice who tries to keep us small and prevent us from growing at all costs… because growing is scary!

But self-love is the antidote. It’s the best way I know to quiet and soothe that part of we are that’s just trying to keep us safe. And when you weave together love and art, you’ve got a powerful combo for a more joyful life!

The Lessons

Your journey from the heart

First, I’ll invite you to write a whole lot of little love notes to yourself. Not so easy at first, but little by little you’ll feel yourself soften and loosen up.

We’ll glue these directly on the canvas to create a meaningful first layer that anchors the good vibes of self-love into our painting.

We’ll trace a simple heart (you can try different shapes!) and choose contrasting colors for it and for the background.

We’ll fill our heart with whimsical collage to create interest and rich texture.

We’ll build up colorful and translucent mixed media layers to create contrast and depth.

Lastly, we’ll bring our painting together with finishing touches and a bit of journaling, to keep the process meaningful all the way to the end.

What students said:

“ I will treasure the beautiful heart piece I created in this class. I have mainly been a watercolor artist and this is my first collage. I like to explore other mediums occasionally and so far this class is my favorite.”

— BARBARA R.

“My version of Wholehearted took on a life of its own. I was inspired by a greeting card with pastel rainbow colors and the words "Stay True to You". Thank you, Laly, for creating this meaningful course. It has given each of us space to reflect and create a uniquely personal keepsake.”

— FIELD R.

"I love Laly's positivity and creative inspiration. Reminding me I don’t need to be perfect and letting go of that and just having fun, stop judging myself, helps me stay on projects. It feels like the universe connected me to her teachings when I needed it most! "

— DIANNE H.

In total, Wholehearted has over 1 hour of high-quality videos. 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.

Your Guide
  for this creative journey. 

Hi! I’m Laly and I'm so glad you’re here. I’m a mixed media artist from France, and I’m here to help you grow your artist wings!

To me, art is the best form of self-care. It gives me a place to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what’s beautiful. And I want to gently remind you: when it feels like you can’t take a break… that’s often exactly when you need one the most.

What if you listened to your creative longings? What if you dared to follow your artist’s heart?

I believe that there’s more to art than just making something pretty. When we make the process itself meaningful, the art we create becomes so much more.

Let’s make art from the heart!

Your Questions Answered

If you don’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to reach out by email at support@lalymille.com. We'll 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 always cover up any “mistakes”. We’ll make a simple template to confidently trace our heart, so you don’t have to worry about drawing it free-hand. Plus, with lifetime access you will 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. materials for this class can be found in magazines, images you print from the web, etc! The magic of mixed media is that you can almost always substitute an art supply with something else.

I’m an experienced artist. Will there be anything I can learn from this class?

Absolutely! Sometimes we take our art too seriously, focusing more on the result than the inner journey. This gentle class will help you turn within and go back to the core of your creative self. This is all about taking time for YOU, to relax and reconnect to the joy of making art. And you’ll end up with a beautiful, personal piece of art to hang in your creative space as a reminder to give your heart, and your art, the love they need to flourish.

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.
