Hi, I’m Laly Mille
Like many artists, I’m forever fascinated by light: not just the light you see, but most importantly, the light you can feel radiating from within.
Do you realize that you and I are actually made of stardust? I believe that in today’s world, shining your light really matters.
What if you let it guide your heart, your dreams and your paint brushes?
The “True North Star” class is all about slowing down, tuning in and connecting to your inner light in inspiring and relaxing ways. There is more to art-making than just the final result.
the process itself can be a magical journey!

In total, True North Star has over 2 hours 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!
"I was drawn to this class when I first saw it and it was truly a joy to watch and hear your thought process in bringing the painting to life. Your techniques gave it a dreamy, magical look. You're one of the most amazing teachers that I've had the pleasure of taking a class from. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent!
— KATHY H.
"I loved how the steps were broken down and how you clearly articulated the decisions you were making as you painted. You really shared your process with your students. The videos are so well done and your tone is so positive, calm and encouraging. I really felt like you were talking to me, personally. A very satisfying, helpful and enjoyable course!"
— CINDY T.
"Laly’s classes have made my artwork so much more meaningful. Laly has taught me to enjoy playing with layers, collage, paints and inks. I especially enjoyed adding scrunched tissue paper to the background in “True North Star”. We created a magical landscape in this class. Thank you Laly, you are an amazing teacher!"
— BETSY W.
Magical art from the students!

Your Questions Answered
If you don’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to reach out by email at admin@lalymille.com. My husband William & I will 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 will use a simple composition with a horizon line. No drawing skills needed! Get ready to reconnect to the childlike joy of gluing and painting, unlock your creativity and boost your confidence while having plenty of fun! Plus, with lifetime access you will be able to go at your own pace and revisit the class (including the meditation) again and again, as you grow your skills and confidence.
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, old books, 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! Aside from the art itself, this class is all about taking time for YOU, to relax and reconnect to the light of your artist soul. You can interpret this project in many different and personal ways (look at the student gallery to see a whole variety of ideas!). What you will find in my classes is a fellow artist sharing every detail of her authentic process. True North Star will help you loosen up and reconnect to the pure joy of making art while discovering some of my best tips that I use all the time as a professional artist.

I’m a self-taught artist and a certified creativity coach, and I teach in a heart-centered, non-academic way. You’ll see me in action and will be guided to explore your own world, inside and out. All my classes aim at bringing you closer to your most authentic creative voice.The workshops are full of my personal techniques, some I’ve learned and pass on in my own ways, others I’ve discovered through happy accidents and experimentation.

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.

My classes are e-courses, hosted online, and members get an individual, private account to access all their classes on my teaching platform.
All classes are self-study and self-paced. They’re not academic classes. There are no assignments to submit, no grades, no schedule, no certificates of completion, no live conferences. There’s no schedule to comply with, no “catching up” or “falling behind”, ever. They’re simply a space of freedom and creativity for you to explore and enjoy.
Most classes have lifetime access (as per our terms of service, "lifetime" means for the lifetime of the program). The videos are pre-recorded, so you can watch them at your own pace, whenever you want, and as many times as you wish. It’s up to you to find the rhythm that suits you best. Make time regularly to complete your course. It’s a gift you’re giving yourself!

For most of my classes, you get lifetime access to the classroom and videos. "Lifetime" technically means for the lifetime of the program. If we were to retire a course (which so far has never happened), we’d give you several months' notice so you have plenty of time to complete the lessons. You can watch the videos within the classroom as often and as many times as you wish.
To protect the integrity of our content (and all the work that went into creating it) the videos are not downloadable. Therefore, before signing up, please make sure that your internet connection allows you to smoothly stream high-resolution videos online. Refunds will not be made after registration.

Of course, I also do my best to offer as much information as possible within the class videos, text and other resources. Don’t hesitate to watch twice and pause the videos! The other participants will also be able to help you.
Please keep in mind that the classroom site is the place where all the teaching takes place. I won’t answer individual questions by email or direct messaging, nor in the Facebook group. The Classroom Community forum is accessible directly from within the menu of the classes.
