An 8-milestone journey from frustrated and flat to bold, expressive and authentically yours.
You're putting in the hours. You're following tutorials. But when you step back, the colours look muddy, the painting feels lifeless β and you can't quite work out why.
My mission is to help you master colour and discover the bold, expressive artist within you β one who paints with confidence, not just copies.

These are real paintings by real students β people just like you who found their colour confidence inside Vibrant Visions.




















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 of giving all my paint awayβ¦ 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 from Michelle and made something I was blown away by. I now KNOW how to start β how to plan composition, mix colours deliberately and confidently, know the phases to build up a solid painting. My style has developed and became richer, and with that my artistic confidence grew.
Real words from real students who transformed their relationship with colour and painting.
I have learned so much from this programme. My understanding of colour, value and composition has completely transformed. I now approach every painting with a plan and a confidence I never had before. Michelle's teaching style is warm, encouraging and incredibly clear.
I'm so happy I found Michelle Gibbs' Vibrant Visions! 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. Michelle provides quick and constructive feedback. I highly recommend Vibrant Visions!
Vibrant Visions covered a lot of information I had never been taught at other art groups. It has made me look at paintings in a different way. 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. Michelle is very approachable.
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 β tools, brush strokes, colour mixing, mindset and more. This course has truly ignited a passion for painting and learning more.
Only when you open the course portal 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.
I joined Vibrant Visions as a complete beginner and I honestly couldn't believe how quickly things clicked. The way Michelle breaks down colour, composition and technique made it all feel so achievable. I'm now painting with a confidence I never thought I'd have.
