Born an Artist? Nope, you can grow into one!
Maybe you've been told that creativity flows naturally, or that some people just have the gift.
Or perhaps you believe true artists can simply sit down in front of a blank canvas and create magic, effortlessly.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth: these are myths! There’s no secret talent, no magical gene—what you admire in others is the result of
HARD WORK, DEDICATION & PATIENCE!
As we bring mythical creatures to life, we’ll explore the human spirit within them—the curiosity, the love for history, the hope for tomorrow, and the joy of today. You’ll learn that it’s persistence, passion, and patience that turn dreams into art.
Sure, some may start with more skill, but that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve it too! If you’re ready to dive in, I’m here to guide you every step of the way, providing the tools and techniques to help you unlock your artistic potential.
So, what do you say? Let’s embark on this creative adventure together and unleash your inner artist! ✨
Awakening the Muse: discover your creative potential through mythical journeys

The truth is, drawing and painting are skills that anyone can learn and develop!
I’ve designed this course for art lovers of all backgrounds, from complete beginners to those who have already started painting. Together, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of mythical creatures and their stories, learning to observe and capture the beauty of nature while bringing to life the enchanting essence of your imagination.
Join me on this creative journey and unlock your artistic potential!
Hello from Hope Christofferson
I believe in the continued use of fantasy as a tool to digest reality through play. I’m fascinated by how folklore once rationalized events like lightning, rainbows, love, death, and plagues. I draw parallels between the functions of folklore and the scientific counterparts that have come to replace it. Fueled by my deep love for nature, I incorporate personal symbology derived from my past to illuminate the sacred significance of plants and animals within human life.
I reference folklore and myth to show how in a contemporary context ancient tales take on new meanings- becoming warped reflections of society’s current needs. The metaphorical power of art allows me to understand my own anxiety around the future.

IN MY COURSE YOU WILL LEARN
Cultivating Curiosity and Inspiration
Curiosity is a fundamental driver of creativity. In this module, artists will explore how to channel their curiosity into finding inspiration in nature. Engaging with the environment allows for the collection of ideas and materials, while elements like workspace ambiance, music, and routines enhance creative flow and foster a sense of wonder.
Curating and organizing collected materials
We'll focus on how to curate and organize materials gathered from nature. You will learn to thoughtfully arrange these items for future use in illustrations, considering how their meaning changes outside their natural context. By exploring visual similarities between natural forms and anatomy, you will gain insights into character design and storytelling.
Character development and storytelling
You will learn to design characters inspired by their collected materials, integrating these elements into engaging narratives. Keeping a sketchbook will be essential for brainstorming and developing ideas, as they capture the essence of their characters and their environments, creating relatable and believable mythological figures.
Sketching techniques and composition
You will learn how to master sketching techniques, focusing on thumbnail sketches and effective composition. You will also experiment with different forms and ideas in a playful manner, utilizing perspective tools for scaling drawings. After establishing main forms, you'll add details to enhance your sketches, bringing characters and stories to life.
Painting techniques and color exploration
You will be equipped with everything you need to finally bring your characters to life. You will learn about brushes, paper types, and create a color sample sheet for blending. We'll also explore foundational methods like the wet-on-wet technique, adding depth and detail inspired by nature.
