Permission to Bloom
An Acrylic Starter Mini-Course
Paint your first acrylic painting (Cherry Blossoms) you're truly proud of!
Learn the skills to paint any subject next.
Just 4 colours. No experience needed.
Start Painting Today!One painting. A whole foundation.
Most tutorials teach you to copy one picture. Then you face a new subject and you're lost again.
This mini course is different!
Together we paint cherry blossoms, but it's more than just this one painting.
What you're really learning is how acrylic works ...
How to mix your colours, build layers, and handle your brush with confidence.
Those skills come with you to every painting after this one.
This is perfect for you if:
✔️ You’re new to painting and want a simple place to begin
✔️ You want to try acrylics without a big investment of time or money
✔️ You'd like a small, doable win before committing to anything bigger

Meet Your Creativity Coach
Hi, I’m Lisa Riehl - artist, teacher and proud believer that it’s never too late to return to what lights you up 😄
But for years, I wasn’t creating anything.
I’d loved drawing and painting as a kid, but life took over - university, a demanding career in medical sales, family responsibilities. My art got buried under laundry, emails and the nagging fear that maybe that part of me was gone for good.
But the spark never fully went out. I started taking art classes again - slowly at first, watercolour, then acrylics - and now I teach beginners and returning creatives to do the same, one small, doable step at a time.
Got Questions?
Do I need any experience?

Can I get a refund?
"Your creativity never left you. It’s just been waiting for you to return."
