Beginner? Perfect. This Party is made for you

Each lesson is filmed in real time, step by step.

I explain everything as I go so that you can follow along at your own pace.

And if a lesson feels tricky, remember it’s just paper, you can always start again.

Every page is a new adventure under the sea.

Your sketchbook will come alive with sea creatures

Each page is a new adventure, from otters to jellyfish, turtles to coral gardens.

Imagine flipping through your sketchbook at the end of October and seeing it full of sea creatures you painted!

Here’s everything you get inside Sea Life Party

• 30 mixed media lessons (including three live painting sessions in October on the 10th, 20th and 31st)

• Step-by-step real-time instruction

Why October is the perfect time to join

Sea Life Party runs live in October, which means you’ll paint alongside a whole group, join three live sessions, and feel the momentum of a shared daily challenge.

After October, the Party will still be available as a self-paced course, but the live energy only happens once.

Cecile Yadro

Hi, I’m Cécile, a French artist who loves color, mixed media, and gouache.

Art should bring joy, not stress. That’s why I create playful, step-by-step tutorials that help beginners explore, experiment, and fill their sketchbooks with confidence.

Over the past six years, more than 25,000 students have joined my courses and discovered that you don’t need to know all the rules to start creating. With the supplies you already have and a spirit of curiosity, you can express yourself and enjoy the process.

My mission is to help you grow as an artist while having fun along the way.

Don’t take my word for it, here’s how past Parties went:
