UNLEASHING CREATIVE FREEDOM: CLASS PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS
"What a wonderful course.
Natalie has a powerfully calm and expressive way of taking you into a journey into your own soul.
A way of looking at your inner self and allowing it to be reflected back through your art.I have replayed this course many times and get something new from it every time.
Thank you Natalie for being your true authentic self and creating such a different experience than on any other course I have ever taken." - Tracey M.
I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your class. The videos are so informative, and watching your demos is extremely helpful.
You have a very calm/appealing presence on video, and you convey a sense of joy and your love of art and the materials.
I love the way I can hear you scratching into the painting and can hear you handling the crayons. That adds something very appealing to the videos ( through another sense).
My work is really improving since I started your class. It is much looser and much more how I want to paint. - Michele W.
I'm loving your class. All abstractionists wanting to loosen up should take it immediately.
Natalie's class opened previously closed doors (or was it my mind that was closed?) Suddenly I was so inspired to be loose (er) with my brushstrokes & mark making.
Painting suddenly got really FUN without my judgement or fear entering. Because Natalie is such a free spirit as she creates, I became that way, too! - Nancy F.
Natalie created this course providing incredibly detailed sections that build upon each module that are very easy to comprehend. This is for any skilled artist.
I love Natalie's approach and infusion of her art skills and knowledge in which she demonstrates and encourages us to express our emotions helping us connect and express to our playful side while creating our own abstract art.
I found this course to be informative, engaging and interesting. I highly recommend it to anyone. Leah B.

I created this course originally for the Canary Rising Platform in October of 2023 but it has been turned over to me as that platform is being dissolved.
Expect lots of feature length exploration loaded with nearly 5 1/2 hours of process and demos in over 50 videos.

Mark Making With Alternative Papers
