Experience The Joy of Painting Your Realistic Watercolor Dog Portrait
Finish In A Single Weekend or At Your Own Pace
Even If You've Never Painted Before
Yes, This Method Allows You to Paint Any Types of Dog Breed:
There's a moment that happens quietly...
Maybe you're scrolling through your phone, and you pause on a photo of your dog.
The way the afternoon light catches their fur.
That expression in their eyes that only you truly understand.
And something deep within you whispers:
"I wish I could capture this somehow."
Not with a camera.
With your own hands.
In soft, flowing watercolor that feels as warm as your love for them.
You've felt that pull, haven't you?
That gentle ache to create something beautiful?
Here's what I need you to know:
That feeling isn't wishful thinking.
It's not "being unrealistic" or "getting ahead of yourself."
That creative voice that's been whispering patiently for years?
She's been right all along.
What Nobody Tells You About "Artistic Talent"
For decades, you've probably believed certain people are "naturally artistic"...
And certain people just aren't.
Maybe an art teacher once made you feel untalented.
Maybe you compare yourself to artists online and think "I could never."
Maybe you've told yourself you're "too old to start learning something new."
But here's what my students discovered:
The reason most people don't paint has nothing to do with talent
It has everything to do with never having someone who:
Understood their fears (and knew how to quiet them gently)
Showed them the path step-by-step (without overwhelming art theory)
Made them feel safe to experiment (in a judgment-free space)
Believed in them even when they didn't believe in themselves
Because traditional art education doesn't fit for most people.
Those overwhelming techniques expensive "mistakes" that made most people quit?
None of that was about YOU lacking talent.
It was about THEM not knowing how to teach beginners properly.
You Already Have Everything You Need
Right now, exactly as you are, you possess everything required to paint a beautiful watercolor dog portrait:
The ability to see beauty in your dog's eyes (you do this every day)
The patience you've developed through life (this matters more than "talent")
The love that makes you want to capture this moment (that's the real magic)
The willingness to try something that scares you a little (you're here, aren't you?)
That's not wishful thinking.
That's the truth that people just like you already proved.
People who thought they were "too old" or "not artistic."
People who'd never touched a paintbrush before.
People who stared at blank paper, terrified they'd waste it.
And then discovered something beautiful:
The artist was always there.
She was just waiting for someone who knew how to help her emerge gently.
Meet Your instructor
Hi, I'm Madelle Blad. I'm a watercolor artist.
And I need you to know something right from the start:
No one is untalented. They're simply untaught.
For the past few years, I've walked alongside dozens of people on their journey from "I can't" to "I actually painted this?!"
And I've discovered something that might surprise you:
The people who create the most stunning portraits aren't the ones with "natural talent."
They're the ones who give themselves permission to begin.
Even when they're scared.
Even when they think they're "too old."
Even when that voice whispers "you're going to waste the paper."
I know that voice intimately.
I remember standing in art stores, heart racing, afraid to buy the "good" paper because what if I ruined it?
I remember comparing myself to other artists and feeling like I'd never measure up.
I remember thinking I'd started too late to ever really be "good."
But here's what shifted everything:
I discovered that watercolor isn't about being perfect.
It's about being present.
Not about controlling every stroke.
But about flowing with the water.
Not about proving you're "talented."
But about expressing what words can't quite capture.
And when I started teaching other people, I watched something magical happen:
They didn't need to become someone different.
They just needed someone who understood their fears...
Someone who could show them the path...
Someone who believed in them even when they didn't believe in themselves.
What You're About To Discover:
I'm going to share with you exactly how you'll be able to:
Paint your dog's portrait in realistic watercolor, even if you've never touched a brush
Do it in whatever timeline feels right for you (in a weekend or slow morning moments)
Feel that deep satisfaction of creating something with your own hands
Proudly display your artwork instead of hiding it in a drawer
Finally become the person who paints, not just wishes she could
Because you deserve to feel proud of something you created.
You deserve those peaceful moments with paint and water.
You deserve to reconnect with the creative soul you've kept waiting.
INTRODUCING...
THE
REALISTIC WATERCOLOR DOG PORTRAIT CLASS
The step-by-step, at-your-own pace online course you'll ever need to create realistic watercolor dog portraits.

Module #3

Module #5
Bring Your Realistic Dog Portrait To Life
Finish Your First Portrait You'll Be Proud to Show Off
Once you map your colors and build each layer, you'll watch your pet come to life on paper.
And feel the rush of creating something you never thought possible.
By the time you add those final highlights and sign your name, you'll have a finished portrait that makes people ask "wait, you painted that?"
Your special invitation:
Normally, personal art instruction with this level of step-by-step guidance would cost $200+ at a local art studio.
And you'd have to paint in front of strangers instead of learning privately at your own pace.
Because I believe you deserve to learn in comfort and privacy, this is NOT what you're paying today.
The Realistic Watercolor Dog Portrait online course is valued at $97.
But that's still NOT what you're paying today.
Here's why:
Something shifted in me when I watched people light up after painting their first portrait.
That moment when they'd whisper, "I can't believe I actually made this."
Like they'd just discovered a part of themselves they thought was gone forever.
And I realized...
The biggest barrier wasn't skill or talent.
It was giving themselves permission to invest in something purely for their own joy.
So I asked myself:
What if I could remove that barrier?
What if the investment felt so natural, so easy...
That the only question left would be, "Why not give myself this?"
Because here's what I know:
You've spent years putting everyone else first.
Your kids. Your partner. Your work. Your home.
And somewhere in all of that, your creativity got tucked away...
Waiting patiently for the day you'd finally have "enough time" or "enough money" or "enough confidence" to bring it back to life.
But what if today could be that day?
Not because everything is perfect.
But because you're worth it right now, exactly as you are.
That's why instead of $97, your investment today is just:
$47
✅ One-time purchase. No monthly fees - EVER.
✅ Lifetime access to the entire course, including future updates.
Why Giving Yourself This Gift Actually Serves Everyone You Love
I know what might be running through your mind right now:
"Can I really justify spending this on myself?"
"Shouldn't this money go toward something more practical?"
"Isn't this selfish?"
Let me share something that might shift your perspective.
What Your Family Actually Wants For You
I received this email from one of my students, Patricia:
"My husband pulled me aside last night and said, 'I don't know what's changed, but you seem... lighter. Happier.'
I realized it's because I've been painting.
For an hour, I do something just for me.
And apparently, everyone can feel the difference."
Here's what I've watched happen over and over:
When you take time to refill your own creative well...
You have more patience with your family.
More energy for the people you love.
More joy to bring to your everyday interactions.
You're not taking away from them.
You're becoming a fuller, happier version of yourself.
And that benefits everyone in your life.
What Your Kids (Or Grandkids) Will Learn By Watching You
When you give yourself permission to try something new...
When you push past fear and create anyway...
When you prove it's never too late to discover new parts of yourself...
You're teaching the young folks in your life an invaluable lesson:
That person doesn't have to set aside their dreams.
That creativity matters.
That joy is worth pursuing.
That you're never too old, too busy, or too "not artistic" to try.
Susan wrote to me after completing her first portrait:
"My granddaughter watched me paint last weekend. She said, 'Grandma, you're so brave.' I never thought of myself as brave. But she's right. Trying something new at 67 is brave. And now she wants to paint with me."
Is there any store-bought gift more valuable than that?
The Real Question Isn't "Can I Afford This?"
The real question is:
"What's the cost of NOT giving myself this?"
Another year of saying "someday"?
Another birthday where you wish you'd started?
Another decade of that creative voice growing quieter?
You've spent years putting everyone else first.
And that's beautiful.
That's love.
But love isn't supposed to erase you.
You're allowed to want something just because it brings you joy.
You're allowed to invest in becoming who you've always wanted to be.
You're allowed to give yourself permission.
Here's What You're Really Investing In:
Not just watercolor class.
But permission to:
- Take time for yourself without guilt
- Try something new without judgment
- Create something just because it makes you happy
- Reclaim the part of you that's been waiting patiently
That's not selfish.
That's essential.
And it starts with one simple decision:
To finally give yourself the gift you've been longing for.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've never painted anything in my life. Will I really be able to do this?"
Yes, and here's why I'm so confident:
Most of our students had never touched watercolor before starting.
Jennifer told me she "couldn't even draw a stick figure."
She completed her first portrait in 2 days and now paints every Sunday morning.
The course assumes you know absolutely nothing.
We start with how to hold the brush.
How much water to use.
How to set up your space.
Nothing is skipped because I assume you "should already know it."
And because you learn in 10-15 minute segments, it never feels overwhelming.
One small step at a time.
That's all this requires.
Am I too old to start learning watercolor?
Every artist you admire started exactly where you are now.
Age doesn't matter, passion does.
We've taught students in their 70s who created stunning portraits.
Your life experience actually helps you paint with more feeling and soul than younger artists.
Do I need natural talent to make this work?
Talent is just practice in disguise.
This course breaks everything into simple shapes and easy steps.
If you can trace a circle, you can paint a beautiful dog portrait.
We prove that art is learnable, not just for "gifted" people.
What if I don't have time to finish?
You get lifetime access, so you can paint at your own pace.
Some people complete their watercolor portraits in one weekend.
Some people spread this over weekends, lunch breaks, or whenever life allows.
There's no deadline pressure.
Do I need expensive brushes and fancy paints?
You don’t need premium supplies.
But many students want them once they see how buttery the pigment looks.
We include two shopping lists:
Option 1: Starter Set ≈ $25-30 (great for testing the waters)
Option 2: Artist-Grade Upgrade ≈ $65-80 (the exact brush, paper, and paints I use for commissions).
Choose what fits your budget today. Both paths work.
What if my hands aren't steady enough?
Wobbly brushstrokes can create beautiful watercolor magic.
We teach you to embrace the shakes and turns them into gorgeous flowing effects.
Perfect control is actually the enemy of beautiful watercolors.
What if I mess up and waste paper and paints?
You won't waste anything expensive because this course uses student-grade paper (about 65¢ a sheet), so every practice run feels affordable.
Plus, in watercolor, most "mistakes" are recoverable.
And we'll share with you about that in this course as well.
What you call a mistake, everyone else calls character.
Can I really learn online without a teacher watching me?
Yes, because you see exactly what I do in step-by-step videos.
You can pause, rewind, and practice until it feels right.
Many students prefer learning privately at home where they feel safe to experiment.
Plus, my team and I will always be here to answer your questions.
Just simply email us your question or post in the community and we will answer it back.
What if this doesn't work for me like it does for others?
This method has helped dozens of my students create their first successful paintings.
You get complete instructions, community support, and 30 days to see results.
If it doesn't work for you, just email us, you get your money back.
You have nothing to lose and beautiful art to gain.
So Why not give yourself a chance to finally create something beautiful?
Why not treat yourself to those peaceful painting moments you've been dreaming about?
After all, you're only going to be this young once.
So why not make it count while you can?
This isn't just about learning watercolor.
It's not just about painting your dog.
What this is really about is you taking care of the person that matters most.
The person you see every day in the mirror.
The person who deserves to feel proud and creative again.
So it's time for you to meet the artist you've always been inside.
And it all begins with you saying "yes" to yourself today.
The choice is always yours:
You can keep scrolling through other people's art, feeling that ache in the chest...
Or you can finally give yourself permission to create your own magic.
Because you deserve to feel proud of something you made with your own hands.
Because you deserve those peaceful moments with paint and water.
Because you deserve to be the artistic one.
Your furry friend is waiting to come to life in beautiful colors.
And you already have everything you need to make it happen:
A photo of your dog.
A quiet hour or two.
And the willingness to try.
The rest?
We'll guide you through, step by step.
Are you ready to give yourself this gift?
