A Year of Painting: The Luminous Table
Brand new offering + all new lessons! Reserve today and secure a coveted early bird spot. The theme of this year is luminosity in all that we are and all that we create.
A Year of Painting: The Luminous Table is a brand new version of my most popular course to date. The new theme of the year is luminosity in all aspects of our life, especially in what we create. The Early Bird tier is now open (which tends to sell out quickly). This course is for all levels of experience, with a variety of lessons, techniques, and new ideas to create what you find beautiful! You will be given lifetime access. Look forward to a year of creative community, inspiration, and making art along the beauty way, with direct support and guidance from me, Alena Hennessy.
My intention this year is for your whole being to come alive when creating a series of work from your illuminated table. You can create separate works or make an art journal (an exquisite visual diary) of your 12 month process. Or you can do both! By the end of this course you will know not only how to work more freely and trust your intuition, allowing this alchemy and magnetism to be carried into your life. Painting is a metaphor and mirror for life and color is the best therapy. Invite more play into your life and watch magic unfold!
The full price for this lifetime experience is $610 and in this tier it is $269 today only! People truly make the most gorgeous works and I feel so proud of each and every one of them! You can too.
Simple payment plan of only $45 a month (interest free) also available here.

You will learn so much, including: how to make colors feather and flow into one another, how the elements of art create the principles, color theory, how to express your emotions into work and create stunning series of intention with word, motif, and pure frequency.

How it works:
- You can tune into this course with each new lesson, will receive lifetime access, and go at your own pace! Anytime you may try the new lessons, receive feedback from me, and go back to old lessons and be excited for new ones to come each month. People from all around the world join this course and go at their own pace as it fits into their schedule.
- Learn to most in depth creative styles to make that magic happen. Learn script, intuitive painting, paper play, composition, design, and in the end, a series of paintings that absolutely shine!
- Basic supplies are needed. I like to work on a variety of substrates with economical choices as an option for you. Acrylic paint, acrylic ink, Caran D’ache Neocolor II crayons, water-based paint pens, watercolors, and gold leaf are some of my favorite supplies. The specific supply list will be given out after sign up. You can buy based on your budget.
- We begin this course with me sharing an array of warm up lessons for creative flow and technique. This way you can discover what clicks for you and all the ways I create layered and luscious paintings. Script, collage, color play, how layers work and playful yet deep understanding of the elements and principles will be introduced.
A small investment for a lifetime gift you can bestow on your creative and authentic self (or for someone you love–this makes the most unique and beautiful gift)!
