Bird Party · A Sketchbook Fun Adventure

Paint mixed-media birds with 30 guided lessons

The course begins on June 15th.

What if one joyful sketchbook page a day could transform your entire art practice?

You want to feel more confident with your art.

You dream of painting freely, exploring color and texture, and maybe — just maybe — finding your unique voice along the way.

 But… life gets busy. You lose momentum. You get stuck choosing what to paint.
Or worse — you start doubting your style, your skills, your materials.

✨ Let’s change that.

Bird Party is a 30-day guided adventure with me, Cécile Yadro, where you’ll paint one beautiful bird each day in your sketchbook.

Each lesson is short, inspiring, and easy to follow — perfect whether you have 15 minutes or an hour.  

You'll explore:

• Gouache, watercolor, crayons, oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylic ink + more

• A new bird every day: realistic, playful, graphic, dreamy, whimsical…

• 3 live sessions to paint together, ask questions, and feel uplifted

• A warm, private creative community (not on Facebook!) just for the first month

Why Birds?

Birds are symbols of freedom and beauty.

By painting 30 different ones in 30 styles, you’ll loosen up, experiment, and reconnect with the joy of creating — no pressure, no perfection.

 It’s not about making “perfect” art. It’s about showing up, discovering, and learning to trust your hand and your heart.

Who is Bird Party for?

This course is perfect for you if:

•You love painting but feel stuck or unsure of what to create next

•You want to explore your style without pressure or perfectionism

•You’re curious about gouache, watercolor, pastels, and mixed media

•You’re a beginner ready to play — or an experienced artist needing a joyful reset

•You want a daily creative habit that feels like a treat, not a chore

What Supplies Do You Need?

You’ll see me use:

•Gouache, watercolor, acrylic ink, oil pastels, colored pencils, crayons, acrylic paint, acrylic markers.

But don’t worry — you don’t need them all. I provide alternatives in each lesson so you can adapt to your supplies.

You will need opaque paint (such as gouache, acrylic paint, or ink), watercolor, crayons or colored pencils, and oil pastels.

What artists are saying from my previous Party courses

Marie: 'I had a great time doing it.  It was great to know that I had a new project waiting for me each day for a whole month. I learnt a lot and finally used a number of different materials that had previously just sat on the shelf!'

Bianca: 'This course has been so much fun!! A wonderful opportunity to explore new materials taught in a fun and relaxed way!'

Judy: 'It was a fun course, really enjoyed it. Lessons were a good length. Engaging teacher. Supportive fellow partners.'

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No worries — I always share alternative options! You’ll see me use gouache, watercolor, acrylic ink, oil pastels, crayons, acrylic paint, and colored pencils, but even with just a few of those, you’ll have plenty to play with.

Yes! Bird Party is all about joyful discovery. Each lesson is guided step by step, with a focus on creativity rather than perfection. If you’re open to trying, you’re ready.

Forever! Once you enroll, you can revisit the videos as many times as you like. Your creativity, your pace.

Every 10 days, we’ll gather for a live session to paint together. You’ll see a new demo, ask questions, and share your work if you like. They’re cozy, relaxed, and inspiring. You'll get a link to join, no need to install anything on your computer. If you miss it, the replay will be available the next day. 

Inside my course platform — a calm, private space for sharing your progress, asking questions, and connecting with like-minded artists. No Facebook required!

Only if you want to! The community is gentle and supportive, but you’re welcome to watch quietly and keep your work private.

Yes, what a lovely idea! You can email me directly, and I’ll help set it up: school@cecileyadro.com
