A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales Mixed Media Course

Getting back into art as an adult is all due to the adult coloring book trend for me. I had given it all up and had been concentrating on the serious things in life. Getting back to my creative side has, however, made all the parts of my life better. The more art supplies I bought to color with, the more I wanted to play with the other art supplies that I’d tucked away. The more I played with color, the more I wanted to create and grow and learn and be able to call myself an artist too. Enter Life Book!

A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales is a year-long, immersive mixed media art course that explores the many facets of magic, story, and wonder, both in art and in life. This enchanting adventure is hosted by renowned artist and author, Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts. She is joined by 30 incredible guest artists to provide you with a truly magical creative experience! On this course, we dive deeply into the realms of fairy tales, story, and everyday enchantment, discovering how magic and imagination can transform our art, emotions, and self-expression.

Creativity and crafting can be incredibly healing for people! I have always wanted the healing power of creativity to be available to as many people as possible, so we try to keep the price, for a year long course, with so much content, as low as possible. The course is valued at over $3500, but can now be bought for ONLY £179 (or approx $240 USD depending on exchange rate). That covers the entire year. Say what?!

You get a year filled with incredible lessons and inspiration for only a fraction of the retail price, is that awesome or awesome? There is no catch here, just me and a bunch of awesome artists wanting you to have access to a ‘library’ of inspiring, enchanting & educational art lessons that help you enrich your art and life. Simple as that. 😊

I looked for art classes in my area in watercolor and painting and drawing and couldn’t really find much but to improve the look of my Facebook newsfeed I’d started following artists in all areas that appealed to me. I tend to love looking at bright happy colors and beautiful whimsical characters, mermaids, and fairies, hand-lettered pages, and bits of ephemera adding to the artisticness of the piece. That opened me up to all of the artists across the world that give art classes online. What’s cool is that these classes in many ways are even better than going to a class locally because I don’t have to pack up all my supplies and I can stop the teacher and rewind everything they say whenever I need to. Many of the classes are lifetime access and some even allow you to download the videos of the classes for your own use.

I really can’t explain how much I am enjoying this art journaling -art therapy – get messy and happy experience led by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts. She heads up a team of a whole bunch of wonderful artists who share new lessons with our big group of loving and lovable beginning-to-expert artists to learn and enjoy.

Life Book 2017 opened up my art world and improved in Life Book 2018 but then I took a break in 2019. 2023 was amazing and I was introduced to some new fun & fantastic artists

It doesn’t matter that this class has already started, you have access to all the lessons for LIFE now AND you can download them to use offline whenever you’d like as well.

You’ll also get to experience the wonderfully kind, talented artist from Australia, Toni Burt.

I was introduced to Toni in my very first Lifebook course in 2018 and have followed and taken courses with her ever since. I so love her style and admire her sweet demeanor and kindness as she teaches beautiful watercolor, ink and collage lessons. admired and have wanted to learn from. I love the way Toni uses watercolor in easy to play with ways with faces in her work. Several of my favorite paintings are a result of her simple face sketch instructions. I was actually brave enough to frame this one and hang it in my home. This girl is a watercolor, graphite pencil, and ink completed in early 2022.
