Do you sometimes get stuck in the middle of the creative process?
Do you procrastinate because you don’t know where to start?
Do you struggle to know when a painting or an art journal page is really done?
Don’t worry, it happens to me too!
What if you had a unique, practical tool that helps you quickly find ideas and solutions?
What if you could instantly connect to your inner artist, and let her show you the way?
What if you could easily silence your inner critic and focus again on the joy of making art?
Join me in "Art Flow Cards" and create a unique card deck to support your painting journey!
I’ve been using inspirational card decks in my creative practice for over a decade. I often place a card on my table as I paint, or pick a card at random for inspiration. And do you know what’s even more magical? To use cards you’ve created yourself!
In “Art Flow Cards”, I will guide you step by step as you create a personal deck full of inspiring prompts:
Practical prompts and creative ideas to quickly decide what your next steps will be
Mindfulness reminders, wellbeing practices and inspirational quotes to boost your mood
Art tips & tricks, including some of my best, tried-and-tested painting secrets!

“Your classes are all magical and the ones that I have bought are ones that I go back to again and again. Whenever I feel down or stuck I just go pick one and I get back on track.”
We’re going to start by creating some gorgeously colorful backgrounds for our cards with watercolor, because it's a medium that flows!
I’ll show you how to build some yummy layers with a variety of fun techniques and supplies (stamps, resists, pencils, markers…). Of course, you can replace any medium that I use with whatever works best for you, to make your cards in your own style!
We’re going to create 3 sets of cards around 3 different themes:
The first set is all about loosening up and embracing playfulness with plenty of quick creative prompts that will help you approach your art with renewed energy and joy!
The second set is a treasure trove of inspiration with affirmations, inspirational quotes and wellbeing reminders to help you relax and feel more grounded. These cards are wonderful to display in your creative space!
The third set is a practical resource of super helpful art tips & tricks, to get you unstuck whenever you feel a little overwhelmed or insecure. I’ll share some of the “rules” of art and some of my best painting tricks!
With 15 cards in each theme, you will end up with a deck of 45 cards. You can also make a few extra blank ones to keep for later!
Of course, the whole point is to use your deck and make it a part of your creative practice! That’s why I encourage you to include your own personal tips & tricks, the things that you already know work well for you. Because this is about YOU and YOUR art!
I will share many ways that you can use your cards to kickstart inspiration, get back in the flow whenever you get stuck and even to help you finish a piece.
Keep your deck handy on your art table, and pick a card whenever you need a little boost!

“I just have to say this: I absolutely love, love, love, these classes. They have been my saving grace! They are so relaxing, a way to find inner peace and inspiration for your soul. There is no better teacher than Laly, she makes these classes so inspiring, relaxing and personal. It is awesome to have a quiet peaceful place to go to wind down after work and just relax and create. Where there is no pressure or critics, just a place where you can find yourself and even meet a new part of yourself you didn’t know existed.”
beautiful cards from the students!
