Master the Colour Confidence That Makes Your Paintings Sing
Step into a world of vibrant & expressive painting. Your creative freedom starts here.
“My mission is to help you master colour and discover the bold, expressive artist within you – one who paints with confidence, not just copies.”
Mastering colour and finding your artistic voice does more than improve your paintings. It’s about going beyond simply copying, discovering the bold, expressive artist within you, and finally making time for yourself without the years of frustration.
The confidence you build here follows you everywhere.
Do you struggle with…
- Over blending & over working your paintings
- Mixing dull, muddy colours
- Knowing which colours work well together
- How to match a colour
- Flat painting that lack depth
- Inspiration and getting started
- Feeling unhappy with the end results
How would it feel if you…
- Could mix fresh, vibrant colours
- Truly knew your paints and how they work
- Created paintings full of depth and energy
- Had colour schemes that work for you
- Were excited to step to the easel
- Had confidence with a process that works
- Created art you loved
Create art you love
When you understand how colour really works – how to mix it, layer it, and use it to create depth and mood – everything else falls into place. Your paintings stop feeling flat and start feeling alive.

YOUR PATH TO TRANSFORMATION
The Vibrant Visions Journey
A structured self-paced 8 milestone roadmap designed to take you from frustrated to fearless.
Join today and start when you’re ready.
The Colour Mastery Workshop
Master Colour Theory That Makes Sense
- Master Colour Theory That Makes Sense: Explore the depths of colour through theory that actually makes sense. You’ll discover colour combinations that create natural harmony, and learn the secret to creating greys that feel soft, sophisticated and perfectly balanced.
- Turn Mystery into Mastery: This is where colour stops being a mystery and becomes your most powerful tool for expression.
- Develop Intuitive Colour Confidence: You’ll develop an intuitive understanding of how colours work together, giving you the confidence to make bold choices that bring your paintings to life with authentic vibrancy.
By the end of the section: You gain confidence to make bold colour choices and trust how colours work together, giving you the freedom to experiment with combinations you’d never have imagined using before.
Colour Expressions Workshop
From Copying to Creating Magic
- Master Natural Harmony: Discover which colours naturally work together and learn to blend them beautifully.
- Create the Mood You Want: Explore powerful colour schemes that help you capture exactly the atmosphere you’re after, transforming ordinary subjects into extraordinary expressions.
- Stop Copying, Start Creating: This is where you develop the confidence to interpret the world through your own creative lens, enhancing reality and infusing your paintings with emotional depth that truly moves viewers.
By the end of this section: You learn to interpret what you see through your own eyes rather than copying exactly, creating work that feels authentically yours—the kind of paintings you’re genuinely proud to show friends and family.
Value to Visual Impact
Transform Flat Paint into Living Art
- Discover the Secret Language of Masters: Watch your paintings come alive as you discover the secret language of master artists – the magical power of light and shadow. You’ll create depth that draws viewers in and use value to make colours sing with emotion.
- Develop Your Artist’s Eye: Through studying the masters, you’ll develop an artist’s eye that sees beyond the surface.
- Create Windows into Other Worlds: This is where your paintings stop being mere pictures and start becoming windows into worlds that feel so real, viewers will want to step inside them.
By the end of this section: You begin to see light and shadow everywhere—in your morning coffee, the way sunlight hits a wall—and this new way of observing the world makes everyday moments more visually interesting.
Discover the Power of your Pigments
Master Your Paints Like Never Before
- Unlock Your Pigments’ Hidden Secrets: Discover the hidden secrets of your pigments and transform how you work with colour, no matter what brand or medium you’re using.
- Master Every Colour on Your Palette: You’ll learn to coax the very best from every tube on your palette, balance warm and cool tones with confidence, and understand what makes each colour truly sing – whether it’s boldly opaque or beautifully transparent.
- Work in Harmony with Your Materials: This is where you stop fighting with your paints and start working in harmony with them, creating colour relationships that feel effortless and naturally beautiful.
By the end of the section: You stop fighting your paints and start working with them, learning to approach challenges with curiosity instead of frustration—a shift that naturally carries over beyond painting.
The Creative Pathway
From Struggle to Creative Flow
- Never Run Out of Ideas: Learn exactly where to find inspiring images when your creativity needs a spark, plus how to choose references that truly excite you.
- Plan for Creative Success: Discover how to map out your artistic vision before you begin, setting yourself up for paintings that flow naturally from start to finish.
- Start with Confidence: This is where you transform how you approach every painting, moving from overwhelming uncertainty to excited anticipation at your easel.
By the end of this section: You replace overwhelm with a clear starting point, discovering that a little planning upfront saves you hours of frustration at the easel—and let’s face it, we all need more time to create.
Build Your Artistic Foundation
Technique Meets Creative Freedom
- Master Confident, Expressive Brushwork: Discover the art of confident, expressive brushwork that breathes life into everything you paint. You’ll develop an intuitive painting process that flows naturally from your heart to the canvas – one that works beautifully whether you’re capturing a sunset, a simple flower, or an abstract dream.
- Learn Playful Yet Controlled Techniques: Learn playful techniques that keep your work fresh and spontaneous, whilst mastering the brush control that gives you freedom to paint loose without losing intention.
- Find Your Flow: This is where technique becomes second nature, every stroke feels like pure joy, and you finally have a reliable process that works for any subject that inspires you.
By the end of this section: You learn to trust your instincts and paint intuitively rather than overthinking every stroke, building confidence that helps you make decisions more easily.
Student Feedback
“I had been painting for many years, but laid it aside because something was missing.
Perfectionism was a HUGE block. I hit rock bottom and was on the verge to give all my paint away… and at that very moment, when I ‘let go’, I decided to give it one last shot. Then in half an hour I applied every step I’d learned so far from Michelle and made this. I was blown away by it, and sooo inspired by this new mindset of ‘paint as if nothing matters’.
I now KNOW how to start – how to plan composition, mix colours deliberately and confidently, know the phases to build up a solid painting. And where I used to believe that all of this would be too ‘restrictive’ for my creativity, the opposite is actually proven true. My style has developed and became richer, and with that my artistic confidence grew, which I am very pleased with.”

Its great to have access to the content forever so I can revisit at any time. The course really exceeded my expectations.

Student Feedback
“”I have loved learning every week with the vibrant visions programme, the demonstrations, painting plans, support and advice have been wonderful. I would never have believed so much could be packed into a programme and it would be so much fun. One of the wonderful things about it is that it is everything is there for me to review or redo or continue to learn from as often as I want to as it is mine to keep even when the programme is finished.””

Student Stories
Join a community of artists who have transformed their painting practice.
Nancy Dibiaggio
"This course is taught by someone with years of experience painting and teaching-adults and many others. She gives you good "starting into" such as supplies etc. Then each week there are great videos to follow of painting, mixing and explanations of what she is doing and how to do it. All with a bit of humour. There is a FB page to engage. I have found no one else online is this thorough, or in person. It is a very concise info packed 8 weeks and well worth the price."
Kirsti Benjaminsen
"I'm so happy I found Michelle Gibbs' Vibrant Visions online course! Michelle has taught me how to use few colours, create foundations, the importance of values, how to add layers, use bold brush strokes and paint loose, just to name a few. Michelle provides quick and constructive feedback. I value her comments and how she guides me further in my work. I highly recommend Vibrant Visions and Michelle Gibbs! She knows what she's talking about!"
Tim Callaghan
"I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of your enthusiasm and support during the different elements of the wonderful art journey. I have been really enjoying your classes and I’ve been truly surprised and appreciative of everything that I’ve learned from your instruction. Looking forward to moving on in Vibrant visions and completing all of the materials. Thanks again so much for everything."
Angela Twomey
"Vibrant Visions covered a lot of information that I had never been taught at other art groups. I liked the structure of the lesson and the way that the was delivered. It has made me look at paintings in a different way, also I feel I know where to start when challenged with constructing a new piece of work. It’s so good that I will have the information for future reference and to be able to continue with completing all the workshops at my own pace. Michelle is very approachable"
Julie Crabtree
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Vibrant Visions course. There is a tremendous amount of information/knowledge to be gained from Michelle.I learned a great deal and enjoyed the fact that I could go at my own pace. Thanks so much!!"
Helen Templeton-Cross
"I really enjoyed the programme and got so much from it. You were so generous with your knowledge and I learned heaps….just have to put it into practice now. It really showed how much time and effort you put in to creating this programme. I thought the info included in the sessions by way of PDFs were really helpful”
Bonnie
"Having recently retired I had always wanted to paint. I came into this course knowing very little. Michelle broke down painting into very learnable sections from tools, brush stokes, colour mixing, mind set and more. There are several posted pictures to paint along with a tutorials from Michelle. This course has truly ignited a passion for painting and learning more."
Barry
"Only when you open the course portal, then open up each stage, will you be able to see the depth of material that Michelle has created for you – This course is worth much more than its asking price."
