Who Am I to Teach You?

I am Geethu, your friend. And I wear a lot of hats - a mixed media artist, watercolour artist: known as colourfulmystique, a mixed media artist, an entrepreneur, an aerospace engineer, a wife and a mom!

I've got a few things I'm pretty proud of: I am a mixed media artist that have sold my artwork worldwide and grew an Instagram account to more than 20k in 6 months (all because of my amazing mixed media paintings), became a Skillshare top teacher because of my super amazing classes on that platform, taught painting to more than 35,000 students across the world and have been consistently earning 6 figure income over the years.  

Most importantly, I know how to teach in a way that captivates hearts and brings attention to detail in my paintings!

Now, I won't pretend I just woke up one day and magically knew how to create these vibrant mixed media paintings and share them with the world.  Believe me, the journey wasn't always easy.  I struggled, I stumbled, and I definitely had my fair share of "what am I even doing?" moments.
I poured over countless tutorials, trying to decipher the secrets of layering textures, blending colors, and creating those mesmerizing effects that I saw in other artists' work.  I experimented with countless materials, sometimes with disastrous results.

But here's the thing: I didn't give up. I kept experimenting, kept learning, and kept pushing myself outside my comfort zone.

And you know what? It was worth it.

Through all those trials and errors, I discovered my own unique style, developed a deep understanding of mixed media techniques, and, most importantly, found immense joy in the creative process.

And now, I want to share everything I've learned with you.

I've created the Expressive Mixed Media Course to be a safe space where you can explore your own artistic journey, without the overwhelm, frustration, or self-doubt. I'll guide you through every step of the process, sharing my hard-won knowledge and empowering you to create mixed media art that is authentically you.

You don't have to struggle alone anymore. I'm here to help you unleash your creativity, conquer your fears, and discover the pure joy of mixed media.

Are you ready to take the leap?

Let me reassure you:

  • It's okay to feel overwhelmed. Mixed media is vast and exciting, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. We'll break it down into manageable steps, starting with the basics and gradually building your skills and confidence.
  • You can create stunning large-scale art. It might seem daunting now, but with the right guidance and practice, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve. We'll start small and work our way up, so you can conquer your fears and unleash your inner creative giant. 
  • There are no mistakes in mixed media, only happy accidents. Embrace the unexpected, experiment freely, and learn to love the process of discovery. Remember, art is a journey, not a destination. 
  • It's possible to find time for your art. Even if you only have a few minutes each day, you can still create and connect with your artistic spirit. I'll share time-saving tips and tricks that have helped me juggle my art with my engineering career and family life. 
  • Focus on your own unique journey. Comparison is the thief of joy. Instead of comparing yourself to others, celebrate your own progress and embrace your individual style. Your art is valid, no matter where you are on your creative path.
