MANIFEST YOUR DREAMS
Receive powerful tools to consciously manifest the life
you have always been dreaming of.
ALL LEVELS – BEGINNERS & SEASONED ARTISTS WELCOME!
Have you ever felt like your dreams are just out of reach?
Do you doubt your creative abilities, feeling like you’re not ‘good enough’ to paint?
Does fear or self-doubt hold you back from expressing yourself freely?
Have you ever felt like something inside you is longing to be expressed, but you don’t know how?
What if I told you that creativity isn’t about talent, but about allowing yourself to explore?
What if you already have everything inside you to create the life — and art — you dream of?
What if creativity was the key to unlocking your true potential?
Imagine a life, where everything is possible...
A life where creativity flows effortlessly, where doubt dissolves into confidence, and where every dream you sketch, every inspiring thought you follow, shapes the world you long to live in. What if the key to this limitless life was already within you—waiting to be unlocked?
Painting is more than just creating images — it is a portal to transformation. With every brushstroke, you are giving form to your deepest dreams and desires. Painting becomes a bridge, allowing you to step into the reality you wish to create. As you let go, trust, and express, you are not just making art — you are shaping your future.
From vision to reality, from imagination to expression, you’ll be guided to harness the transformative power of your mind and heart. I will share the secrets of how I turned my own dreams into reality – how I stepped beyond doubt and limitation and embraced the infinite possibilities available. And I will give you the key so you can do the same and completely transform your life.

PAINTING TECHNIQUES
Two approaches of painting will be introduced:
You can explore the Mischtechnik and / or Indirect Oil Painting
The Mischtechnik
The Mischtechnik is a beautiful process of painting alternately with egg tempera and oil paint. White egg tempera is used to gradually build up tonal values. Then oil paint is applied in thin, semi-transparent glazes. The layers of egg tempera and oil glaze can be built on top of each other countless times, allowing for great dimensionality within the artwork. Beautiful effects of transparency, luminosity and detail can be achieved with this technique.
“This painting course has taken me a big step towards becoming braver in painting. The fear of making mistakes has moved very far into the background. Painting in a group is a lot of fun and it inspires you to continue painting at home.”
Renate, Austria
Indirect Oil Painting
Also the faster technique of indirect oil painting will be shown and explained to participants. Typically, the artwork is started with a monochromatic underpainting and more colors are introduced subsequently.
Both techniques can be applied within the same artwork.
“Vera brings out so many wonderful things that are hidden deep inside me.
Maria, Austria
She radiates so much love. All paintings become wonderful with her guidance.”

FAQ
I CAN'T PAINT. CAN I STILL ATTEND?
Absolutely! If you have never painted before or doubt your artistic abilities, I’m happy to support you in finding your unique creative voice. In a safe and nurturing environment, you will be encouraged to freely explore your artistic expression. Many participants have never painted before and are often amazed at what unfolds through their hands.
Each person is guided at their own level of expression, and in my view, talent is completely overrated. It’s unfortunate that so many hesitate to join a course simply because they believe they can’t paint. But that’s exactly what a course is for—to learn! So take heart, find your courage, and step into what excites and challenges you the most. You might just surprise yourself!
