Would you love to find your artistic flow and create dreamy paintings you’re proud to share?
But maybe you...
Believe you have zero drawing or painting skills. You feel intimidated about painting realistic flowers.
Struggle to get started. You don't know how to overcome the fear of the blank canvas and turn it into something beautiful.
Don't know what supplies and techniques will give you the look you dream of. You need a clear process to follow.
I know how these creative blocks can get in the way of reaching your artistic dreams.
But just like how with good soil, enough light and loving care, roses can thrive and bloom... your art will too!
Hi, I’m Laly Mille
Roses are my favorite flowers and painting them always lifts me up and brings me joy, especially with the super fun and freeing process I'm going to teach you!
I love to paint roses in an abstract, impressionist way because it allows me to focus on the way the roses FEEL, not just the way they look. No drawing skills needed! It's all about loosening up, embracing color and inviting serendipity.
Roses offer a whole palette of colors that will fill up your creative space and your home with sweetness!
THIS JOYFUL PROCESS IS SO FORGIVING AND SATISFYING!
What students have said:
“I learned so many things doing this project — about painting, color mixing, composition, different techniques... I really experimented with many ideas. And I learned some things about myself as an artist, and my own creative process. What beautiful discoveries... all of them. Thank you, Laly. You are an exquisite artist and teacher!”
— BRIDGET B.
“I have to admit - I’ve NEVER liked painting flowers. I prefer non-representational art. But there was something about the Wild Roses class that caught my attention. I just can’t stop looking at the results. The instructions incorporated some of my fav elements - drips, splashes, and a lot of mess! Thank you Laly for making flowers fun to paint again! ”
— LEE H.
“The class was such a beautiful experience! It evokes the emotion you create in your paintings. The diversity of techniques speaks to all. It provides the opportunity to use your choice of medium and techniques that you are most comfortable with to achieve your individual vision.”
— KAREN M.
What you’ll explore in this soul-lifting adventure
Self-paced online art class with over 2 hours of step-by-step instructions, instant, lifetime access & private community forum.
Part 1
First, we’ll warm up by...:
Finding inspiration from images and real-life
Gathering colorful supplies for your own unique bouquet of roses
Warming up and loosening up with some quick, playful and scribbly sketches
Getting started with messy, colorful under-layers in white, green and red/pink
Inviting serendipity into your composition with plenty of collage
Part 2
Next we’ll…..
Build up layers of colorful petals
Let light in and quiet things down to create a magical, fresh and relaxed feel
Add finishing touches that will add yet another layer of magic, fix composition problems and lead to new opportunities
Keep playfulness and spontaneity alive throughout the whole process!
In total, Wild Roses 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!
The class is in English with English closed captions available.
Happy students & their roses!
Recommended Supplies
Below is a list of supplies and tools for the class. These are only suggestions, remember to use what you already have and already love. You can go on a scavenger hunt for all your pink art supplies (or any other color you’d like your roses to be). Have fun getting ready!
Basic tools:
A palette (or a simple white plate). You’ll need a surface that's big enough to comfortably roll a little brayer.
Water + spray bottle
Stretched canvas
For the warm-up: sturdy white paper like heavy watercolor paper or card stock
Mixed media materials:
Your choice of paintbrushes, including a medium-sized flat brush for collage
Acrylic paints: For this project, I mainly use white, greens and pinks/reds
An old plastic card (credit card, key card...) and/or palette knife
Cut out images of roses (from magazines, gardening catalogues...)
White or pink tissue paper
Matte gel medium
White, fine tip paint marker
Other optional materials you might enjoy:
Optional but recommended: titanium white high flow acrylic paint or ink
White gesso
A few book pages
A small brayer
Craft heat gun to speed up the drying time
Alcohol inks
Watersoluble crayons
India Ink
A straw to blow ink around!
These are only suggestions, and I encourage you to work with your favorite colors and materials to make your painting uniquely yours. Inside the classroom, you’ll find a detailed video walking you through the supplies, as well as a list with links.
Your Guide
for this creative journey.
I'm so glad you’re here! I’m a mixed media artist from France, and I’m here to help your art grow and bloom!
Flowers are one of my favorite subjects to paint, and my favorite art to have around the house.
Flowers are pure, positive energy. They’re hope, love and beauty. They are joy and creativity. With just a bit of paint and paper, with our hands and our hearts, we can bring more of these much-needed things into the world, so let's get blooming!

Your Questions Answered
If you don’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to reach out by email to 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”. And flowers are the most forgiving and satisfying subject (no straight lines there!). They’re often one of our favorite things to draw as children, and combining flowers with mixed media is a wonderful way to reconnect to this childlike joy, unlock your creativity and boost your confidence while having plenty of fun! Plus, with lifetime access you’ll be able to go at your own pace and revisit the lessons again and again, as you grow your skills.
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. As long as you have some red, green and white acrylic, this will work. The collage materials for this class can be found in magazines and free gardening catalogs, 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! What you’ll find in my classes is a fellow artist sharing every detail of her authentic process. Wild Roses will help you loosen up and reconnect to the pure joy of making art while discovering my best tips that I use all the time as a professional artist. Plus some unique techniques that you won’t find anywhere else!

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.

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.
