WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"Mel is a wonderful teacher! I really enjoyed this class and looked forward to each new lesson. It is laid out so well, providing structure while at the same time allowing freedom to adapt to your own style and preferences. There are so many helpful drawing tips and ideas that I know I’ll be returning to in the future as I plan to keep filling up my sketchbook. The possibilities are endless! Thanks to Mel for sharing her talent and expertise as both artist and teacher!"
- Lisa K
"Another super enjoyable class from Mel Rye! I'm a trained graphic designer with many years of artistic practice under my belt, but I've loved working through these low-stress, simple exercises to polish up my skills as well as play and experiment to my heart's desire. It's a sign of a great teacher to design a class that can appeal to people of all different skill ranges. This is a class I'll want to do over and over again to continue playing with these prompts. Thank you!"

COURSE 2
ABSTRACT PATTERN COLLAGES: MINDFUL DRAWING + INTUITIVE COLLAGE FOR SELF-CARE
In this class we will combine mindful drawing and intuitive collage to promote a sense of calm and connecting with ourselves, and with the present moment through pressure-free creative play.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"I really liked the structure of this class. The lessons were broken down into easy-to-follow steps that made starting (and continuing) less overwhelming. I found myself stuck on a prompt once or twice, and I found the demos really helpful for working through the prompts. Mel did a terrific job of explaining her thought process out loud. This was great! Thanks for the class!"
- Sommer S
"This class was so much fun to watch and also offered very unique project ideas. I'm rather obsessed with mindful drawing ( it's my form of meditation too) but never thought to use it in this way. I can't wait to try these techniques out! Mel Rye is an excellent instructor. Thanks so much for offering something truly fresh that will appeal to creators at many different levels."

COURSE 3
MINDFUL MANDALAS: BOTANICAL DOODLING FOR SELF-CARE
In this beginner friendly class, we will use real botanical references to inspire doodles and patterns which we will develop into beautiful, easy to draw Mandalas.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"I've always thought that you had to have a very artistic mind to be able to create mandalas because of what I've seem in colouring books. Mel has shown how easy it is to create them that I now have a new skill. I lead a very busy lifestyle so now I can have more meaningful breaks using doodling and mindfulness to break away from work. Thank you Mel for your easy to follow steps and mindfulness tips."
- Shirley L
"This was a wonderful class which I'd recommend for any level because you can make your mandala drawings a simple or complicated as you like. This was my first attempt at drawing botanical mandalas and I found the instructions and examples clear and inspiring. I love the idea of creating your own doodle library for inspiration and the mindfulness tips as you go along are also very good. I've just completed my first botanical mandala and can't wait to try more."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need drawing experience to take these courses?
No, you don't need any drawing experience at all - as long as you are able to hold a pen, make marks on paper, and cut out shapes from paper you will be absolutely fine :)
Do I need to have practiced mindfulness or meditation before to take these courses?
No, you don't. All 3 courses are structured in such a way that they are suited for complete beginners to both drawing and mindfulness. We will be exploring some simple mindfulness techniques and activities through all the different stages of each class, so you will gain a LOT of different techniques by the time you have watched all 3 courses, but you could start having absolutely no knowledge of either mindfulness or drawing.
Does it matter in which order I take the courses?
No, these courses are designed to be standalone courses, which means they can be taken independently without needing to have watched the other.
How are the courses formatted?
All my courses consist of pre recorded video lessons. There are also downloadable resources such as worksheets, reference photos, guides or other materials which will help support your learning.
All my courses are structured around a class project, which is a practical way of applying the skills taught in the course, and also means that you will have created something by the end of the course, as well as learning lots of new skills - I think this is the best way of learning!
How long will I have access to the courses for?
Once you have enrolled, you will have lifetime access to the courses, which means you can access them for as long as they exists on the internet. If any updates are made in the future, you will have access to those too.
Can I purchase this bundle as a gift?
Yes you can - there is an option at checkout to buy the bundle as a gift. All you need to do is enter the recipient’s email address and there is an option to add a gift message if you’d like to. The course will be sent directly to them with a link to access it, along with your message if you added one.
