Do you often dream of creating big, beautiful paintings but don't feel daring enough to bring them to life?
Maybe you...
Lack confidence or find it scary. Art journaling feels less intimidating because if you don’t love every page it’s okay. With a canvas, it feels so different.
That’s where creating ideas in the safe space of a journal before translating them to a canvas feels so comforting! When you have the concept of what you want to do, you’re halfway there!
Find you’re less courageous or willing to let go on the canvas because you’re afraid of ruining it. You tend to play it safe and not really push yourself as an artist.
Once again, that’s why experimenting and playing in an art journal helps, because you’re less precious about the results so you’ll take more chances and really develop your voice as an artist.
Feel uncomfortable expressing your emotions and being vulnerable on the canvas. It feels so public and ‘on display.’
I understand! Pour your heart out in the safety of your journal and let your imagination run wild. Then you get to choose which parts of yourself you want to share on a larger scale with the world on the canvas!
In this very special class, I share all my little secrets and show you how to draw courage and inspiration from your art journal pages to create a big, magical paintings on canvas!
What if...
you could gently expand your comfort zone by bringing everything you love about your art journal to create beautifully layered mixed media paintings?
you could find endless inspiration in your art journal pages to help overcome the fear of a blank canvas?
you discovered a fun and forgiving process that helped you challenge yourself and create gorgeous large paintings?
Yes, yes and yes!
Discover how to take the leap from journal page to canvas. Dare to dream bigger and bring your painting to life!
Take your art to the next step!

Hi, I’m Laly Mille
When I started making art, I felt such a need to liberate my inner artist that I mostly wanted to paint on big canvases and fill every wall in my home with my own art! There’s something so magical and powerful in creating large paintings. But I soon realized that my heart also longed for a more intimate outlet that would allow me to freely explore, grow and find my unique voice as an artist.
That’s how I fell in love with art journaling, and I quickly found out that the two practices are a match made in heaven: they complete each other in amazing and surprising ways! I discovered that whenever I got stuck with a painting, or didn’t know where to start, I could turn to my art journal for an instant dose of courage and inspiration. I’d always find creative ideas in its pages, then bring them to life in a much bigger way.
This process has been a game-changer for me, helping me grow as an artist like never before. I can’t wait to share it with you in this very special class where you’ll watch my authentic, intimate process (including when I get stuck) while learning tons of my best creative tips and techniques!
what Students said:
“It was very helpful to watch you go through the thinking process as the painting evolved. I love how you present the material. It is very concise and explained in great detail. Thank you for sharing your talent. I am so glad that I decided to buy this class. It has really helped me grow as an artist and try new materials and techniques.”
— BECKY
“Laly, I wanted to let you know that I successfully did a “journal to canvas” series. I ended up doing two canvases and I chose one of them to show at an art exhibit last summer. It sold on the first day! I am considering showing the second one at a show sometime this year. It’s a testimonial that your teaching method works.”
— LINDA C.
“Laly has taught me what it means to be an artist, to take risks, to keep at it, to listen to my intuition and to work with my canvas to bring it to life. She gave me courage and permission to call myself an Artist and I thank her for that.”
— PATRICE E.
The Lessons
With more than 2 hours of video lessons, you’ll be right here with me in the studio as I create a big, super layered mixed media painting by drawing inspiration (and courage!) from my art journal.
You’ll be right by my side as I look for ideas, start my painting, get stuck, find solutions and start again, all the way to finishing touches!
Among many other tips and techniques, I’m going to show you how to...
Use a viewfinder to look for composition ideas inside your pages. Your next painting might be hiding in plain sight in your art journal!
Translate ideas for color schemes, collage, imagery, mark-making and more from your pages to your mixed media painting.
Be brave and challenge yourself to use ideas, colors and techniques you’ve experimented with in your art journal, and take a leap onto the canvas. In the lesson, you’ll see me play (and struggle) with red!
Use your art journal as a resource whenever you get stuck, combine inspiration from different pages into one painting, and find ideas that work in the journal to solve problems on your canvas!
In total, From Page to Canvas has around 2 hours of high-quality, step-by-step video lessons.
I show and explain everything in detail, and I encourage you to make the process yours and work with what you’ve got. If you've ever taken a class with me, you know I like to keep it clear and super inspiring!
The class is in English with English closed captions available.
Take your art to the next step!

My art journals are my best-kept secret to making better paintings!

Plus, they’re like a magical portal for new ideas, themes and stories to show up, that sometimes will lead me to create a mixed media painting or a whole series!
I can’t wait to show you how to tap into the endless inspiration that lives and breathes in your pages, because I know there’s art in your heart that longs to come to life and be shared with others at a bigger scale.

Your Questions Answered
If you don’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to reach out by email at support@lalymille.com. We'll do our best to help!
I've never painted a big canvas before or don’t have much experience with art journaling and mixed media. Can I really do this class?
Yes and no: You don't need any experience painting on a canvas for this class, but to get the most out of the lessons, you'll need an art journal with at least a few pages done. If you haven't discovered the joy of art journaling yet, I highly recommend starting with my other class "The Artist & the Journal" (where you’ll also learn tons about mixed media.) Other than that, no previous skills required!
This is all about playfulness and freedom, gaining confidence, testing what feels good to you and being brave!
I don’t have a lot of art supplies. Will I need to spend hundreds of dollars on a canvas, paints and brushes?
No! You can definitely make beautiful art even if you’re not buying premium art supplies. For your canvas, you can choose a less expensive quality to start with, or you can use an inexpensive wood panel from the DIY store, or any substrate you like. Other than that, you can use all your favorite supplies and tools that you already use for art journaling!
I’m an experienced artist. Will there be anything I can learn from this class?
Absolutely! From Page To Canvas is designed to help you take your art to the next level! If you already love mixed media painting and art journaling, this class will renew your inspiration with fresh techniques and possibilities! As in all my classes, I share my authentic process and my favorite, tried-and-true techniques, artist to artist.
This special class will also help you deepen your creative voice and make art that’s more unique and meaningful than ever.

How do I know if a class is the right fit for me?
I’m a self-taught artist and certified creativity coach, and I teach in a heart-centered, non-academic way. In my classes, you’ll see me creating in real time while being gently guided to explore your own inner and outer creative world. My classes are designed to help you connect more deeply with your most authentic creative voice.
The lessons include many of my personal techniques, some learned over the years and shared in my own way, others discovered through experimentation, intuition, and happy accidents.
I also share creative tips and gentle strategies to help you develop a meaningful practice, move through creative blocks, and expand your comfort zone with curiosity and kindness.
To know whether a class is the right fit for you, I encourage you to trust your intuition. If something about it sparks your curiosity, feels exciting, comforting, inspiring, or deeply resonant, then it is likely a beautiful fit for your creative journey.
On the other hand, if you are looking primarily for highly technical instruction, academic-style teaching, detailed critique, or professional certification, then my classes may not be the best fit for your expectations.
My teaching style includes intuition, symbolism, mindfulness, and occasional playful creative rituals or oracle cards for inspiration. If these approaches are not your cup of tea, you may prefer a different learning environment.
If you are unsure, I warmly encourage you to begin with one of my free lessons to experience my teaching style before registering for a paid class.
Please note that, due to the digital nature of the classes and immediate access to content, refunds are not offered after registration.

You can watch the videos within the classroom as often and as many times as you wish.
