“My new painting is impressive to me because it is the craft of my hands, all of me, my fusion with creativity and curiosity inside me, my creation, completely naive and unplanned. When I look at it, I feel warmth in my chest, love, I feel me.”
Katarina

“Hi Anja,

I’m sending you the photo of the mandala I created after your course.

I’ve been painting mandalas for 3 years and with your course, I’ve got to a totally different level. I like it very much, it is simple, easy to understand and full of useful advice. I especially like the topic of colour blending.

Thank you for the course and your artwork – both very beautiful and inspirational ”
