Step Into a World of Moody, Maximalist Gardens

Painting Enchanted Gardens explores how to create whimsical, sophisticated artwork filled with lush botanicals, expressive florals, dark moody backgrounds, and iconic fall characters like ghosts, cats, and pumpkins - without making the artwork feel tied to one particular season.

 

This is an evergreen approach to fall-inspired art: paintings you can display year after year and enjoy all year round. While the finished pieces may look complex and layered, you'll learn how to break that complexity down into simple, approachable steps - working from the background forward, building layers, balancing color, and combining floral, botanical, and whimsical imagery into a rich, maximalist effect.

Just paint, intuition, layers, and a little bit of magic.

Meet Your Teacher

Hi, I'm Yvette St Amant

I'm a painter, a paint brand founder, and a bit of a color-obsessed storyteller who's spent over two decades bringing art into everyday homes, from home decor products & accessories to wall art. These days I split my time between creating new collections and helping fellow artists find their own voice, because the best part of this journey has always been sharing it.

Painting Enchanted Gardens is everything I love about moody, maximalist art - made approachable, one layer at a time.
