Your Lessons

You'll get lifetime access to all lessons, giving you the freedom to watch when it suits you and paint at your own pace.

LESSON 1

Discover chinoiserie & design a composition

Begin your journey into the magical world of chinoiserie.

You’ll explore the rich history behind this timeless art form, learn the essential secrets of creating beautifully balanced designs, and sketch your first chinoiserie composition with ease, even if you’re a complete beginner.

LESSON 2

Bring your design to life with paint

Learn how to transform your sketch into a finished chinoiserie painting, step by step.

You’ll discover how to create a soft background wash, build layered brushwork for depth and beauty, and add fine details that bring your piece to life, all while keeping the process relaxing and joyful.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll have painted a complete chinoiserie artwork, using the same techniques I learnt in China.

LESSON 3

Scale up your designs to create bigger art!

You’ll learn how to scale your designs for murals, wallpaper, furniture and larger artworks, even without a projector.

I’ll show you how to plan beautiful compositions that work in real spaces, and how to avoid the common mistakes that make large-scale work feel confusing or overwhelming.

Finally, you’ll create an artistic vision board to plan your dream chinoiserie project, so you leave with the clarity and confidence to put your new skills into practice!
