Create Your Magical Inkdom in Four Parts!

First captivate, second grow wings, third dress up, and finally, dance!

I loved this course because it stretched my imagination in new directions. The worlds of magic and fantasy have always been an interest, but I haven’t often engaged with them artistically, and here was a chance! I found the lessons to be innovative and appealing because Paivi is so enthusiastic about her art. Creating cutouts and backdrops was enjoyable and I am now learning to use ink.

Bonus: Membership for Art Community Bloom and Fly!

With the class, you will also get a basic membership for the Bloom and Fly Facebook group, where you can share your work and have conversations with fellow artists. This membership is for the end of 2024, so you can continue drawing and sharing your magic for the whole year.

Supplies – Pens, Paper, and Watercolors!

At the minimum, you will need a pen, paper, and a small set of watercolors. A thin-tipped black ink drawing pen (for example, Copic Multiliner 0.3) and smooth Bristol paper are recommended, but you can start with any water-resistant pen and paper and grow your arsenal with the class.

These can also be useful:

• A pencil and an eraser.
• A variety of drawing pens (for example, Copic Multiliners from 0.05 to 1.0)
• A black brush pen if you want to quickly ink large areas (for example, Copic Multiliner with a small brush tip)
• A correction pen or opaque gel pens.
• Scissors and gel medium (or paper glue) for hand-drawn collage pieces.
• If you want to draw on fabric (Lesson 3): cotton fabric and coloring supplies like Derwent Inktense pencils, blocks, and alcohol markers. If you want to make a small purse of your hand-drawn fabric, you will also need a sewing machine, fabric for the lining and basic sewing supplies.

Magical Inkdom isn’t about perfecting every line but building a world of imagination. You will create visual richness one element at the time. First, it’s just a few, but when the amount increases, the magic will be revealed. To grow the quantity, you can make copies of your hand-drawn art and create more complex compositions quickly. This class is about creative play!

We’ll use the same mindset of playing in our community: you don’t have to have a big masterpiece to share your art. You can start sharing small hand-drawn bits and pieces, and when your classmates do the same, the shared enthusiasm becomes energizing.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the lessons. The classes were very playful, experimental and imaginative, which I absolutely loved. The videos were a joy to watch with a lot of thought and care put into them. I highly recommend this class to anyone who enjoys fantasy and fairytales with a unique, original touch. Easily my favourite online class to date.
