Turn a Photo of Your Dog Into a Rainbow Watercolor Portrait
Finish In A Single Weekend or At Your Own Pace
Even If You've Never Painted Before
Imagine if you could…
Finally quiet that voice inside that says "I'm not creative enough" and discover the artist who's been waiting patiently within you all along
Transform those precious photos of your furry best friend into a beautiful rainbow watercolor portrait that makes everyone who sees it stop and ask "Did you really paint this yourself?"
Feel that wonderful sense of calm wash over you as colors flow and blend on paper, melting away the stress of your busy day
It used to seem wonderfully easy…
Creating something beautiful used to be part of everyday life.
Grandma painted watercolors in her kitchen while dinner simmered on the stove.
On quiet Sundays Mom would sketch the tulips she’d just brought in from the garden.
We've seen people express themselves through art as naturally as breathing.
Then the world changed.
Life got busier.
Technology took over.
many of us wondered if we still had space or talent to make something purely for joy
If you’ve ever paused outside an art-supply window and had a soft tug inside…
If scrolling past someone’s watercolor art brings a quick smile followed by the thought “Maybe someday”…
Knowing that you’re not alone.
Right now dozens of people have quietly rekindled that creative spark at their own kitchen tables.
They didn’t drive to intimidating studios....
And they didn’t spend hundreds on private lessons.
Instead...
they're following a simple Rainbow Watercolor Method that:
Hands you a paint-along roadmap so you always know exactly what brush, what color, and what to do next...
Uses just the essential supplies from any craft store, no overwhelming shopping list, and...
Allows first-time painters to create a rainbow watercolor dog portrait in one relaxed weekend.
Picture this coming Saturday morning:
A mug of coffee, a sleepy pup at your feet, and joyful color blooming across the page...
Because you deserve to see your best friend come alive in hues as vibrant as the love you share.
You won’t need “perfect” drawing skills (only trace simple shapes).
You won’t have to guess about brushes, paper, or timing.
Every step is mapped out for certainty and zero overwhelm.
If that vision stirs something pleasant inside, stay with me...
I’d love to show you how easily it can become your reality.
Now... before we dip a single brush into water....
Let’s uncover what quietly closed the door on your creativity, so we can reopen it together...
"The Dormant Flow State"
Why The Creative Flow Went to Sleep (And How You Can Wake It Back Up)
Remember when you were little?
You'd grab crayons and just... create.
No fear. No worry. Just pure joy flowing onto paper.
That feeling never left you. It just fell asleep.
Here's what happened...
Something called "The Dormant Flow State":
When you were three, your brain had special pathways for creative flow.
Like little rivers in your mind where art could flow freely.
But then life got busy. Years passed without painting. Without playing with color.
Those creative pathways are still alive.
They just went dormant, like flowers waiting through winter.
Think about it like unused muscles...
When you don't use them, they get weak. But they're still there and waiting.
Your artistic flow state works the same way.
The Dormant Flow State is often the hidden problem.
Not that you're "not artistic."
Your flow state is just sleeping because it needs three specific triggers to wake up:
Safety - Permission to play without judgment
Surprise - The delight of unexpected beauty
Success - Knowing you can't mess up
Without these three triggers in the right order, the creative flow stays dormant.
That's why watching YouTube tutorials doesn't work.
They give you information, but not the triggers.
That's why expensive art workshops feel scary. Too much pressure. No safety.
That's why most people have been stuck wanting to paint but never starting.
Your Dormant Flow State needs the exact sequence that slips you back into flow.
And once you see that the ‘Dormant Flow State’ is the only thing standing in your way...
You’ll be ready for the simple, joy-filled ritual that wakes it up in minutes:
"The Rainbow Flow Activation Sequence"
Your 30-Minute Creativity Wake-Up Call
The Rainbow Flow Activation Sequence isn't just another painting technique.
It's a precise neurological sequence that reactivates the "Dormant Flow State" in about 30 minutes on average.
Here's how “The Rainbow Flow Activation Sequence” works:
1. First, we create Safety (0-90 seconds)
You’ll choose a few simple shapes to trace. No prior drawing skills needed.
This calms the fear center in your brain within 90 seconds.
Your mind realizes: "I'm safe. I can do this."
Just like that, the first lock opens.
2. Next, we trigger Surprise (10-20 minutes)
Now you add wet watercolor.
The colors bloom and blend in ways you can't control.
And that's the magic.
Your brain loves these unexpected color bursts.
It releases happy chemicals, the same ones you felt as a kid with finger paints.
You're not trying to control anything. You're just watching beauty happen.
The second lock opens.
3. Finally, we have an almost guaranteed way to Success (20-30 minutes)
Here's the secret:
Rainbow colors almost always look gorgeous together.
So the results feel virtually guaranteed.
Your brain feels confident it will succeed. The last bit of resistance melts away.
The third lock opens.
And at this moment… you're in flow.
That blissful state where time disappears.
Where your hands know what to do.
Where colors dance across paper like magic.
“The Rainbow Flow Activation Sequence” reactivates what's always been there
The same creative flow you had at three years old floods back.
Because it was never gone. It was just dormant.
Your creative flow is waiting for these three triggers in the right sequence.
Within 30 minutes, The Rainbow Flow Activation Sequence slips you past all those years of "I can't" and lands you right back in "Look what I made!"
And once your Dormant Flow State wakes up with this sequence, it stays awake.
Every painting after gets easier.
More joyful. More you.
Of course, every comforting sequence feels safer when the right guide is beside you...
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Madelle Blad.
I'm a watercolor artist who helps people discover the joy of painting watercolors.
One day I asked myself...
What if I stopped trying to paint “perfectly” and just captured my dog’s sweet, goofy spirit?
That day, I uncovered a simple approach that makes watercolor feel easy and fun.
Nowadays, I help people turn their dog photos into watercolor keepsakes.
And I’ll guide you through the same rainbow watercolor method.
One that’s helped dozens of people create their first successful paintings.
Because your furry friend deserves to be celebrated in color.
And you deserve to be the one who makes it happen.
Together we’ve turned her warm guidance into a flexible, paint-along class that’s ready whenever you and your pup’s photo are.
INTRODUCING...
THE
RAINBOW WATERCOLOR DOG PORTRAIT CLASS
The step-by-step, at-your-own pace online course you'll ever need to create stunning rainbow watercolor dog portraits.
Here's The Step-By-Step Process And The Course Modules:
Module #1
Materials & Fundamentals
Transform your creative starvation into flowing confidence with affordable Supplies and simple techniques
The "permission to play" framework that replaces the worry of wasting supplies with confidence – by showing you which artist-grade and budget tools create frame-worthy results – so you can decide to invest now for decades-long performance or test the waters first...
Why beginning with just one trusted brush often feels easier (and more freeing) than juggling a whole set – plus the pressure technique that transforms those first strokes into graceful, flowing fur textures – so you can create frame-worthy dog pet portraits whether you keep costs low or treat yourself later...
The "black and white reference trick" that takes the guess-work out of choosing colors – by matching values instead of hues, you’ll instantly see which colors belong where – transforming what feels like an impossible puzzle into a simple paint-by-values process...
How the "wet-on-dry" control method helps you avoid muddy colors – so you can relax and trust every brush-stroke to land right where you intend – freeing you to enjoy the creative flow instead of wrestling unpredictable water...
The "compound stroke warm-up" that builds muscle memory for painting realistic fur in just 5 minutes – turning those first tentative strokes into smooth, confident lines – so you can create those soft, fluffy textures that make people ask "How did you do that?"...
Module #2
Image Transfer & Smart Planning
Turn dog photo Into structured roadmap that removes all guesswork, so you can paint with purpose instead of panic
The "squint to simplify" method that simplifies busy dog photos into manageable painting shapes – by seeing your dog as a collection of light and dark values rather than complex details – allowing you to approach your portrait with the confidence of knowing exactly what to paint first, second, and third...
Why painting by shapes (not sections) lets you finish sooner while eliminating wait times between layers – so you can maintain creative momentum instead of watching paint dry – turning what could be a week-long project into a satisfying weekend accomplishment...
The critical difference between painting highlights and leaving white space (and why this one detail is what keeps most watercolor paintings from shining) – plus the exact white ink that saves paintings when mistakes happen – giving you permission to be imperfect while still creating frame-worthy art...
Four different image transfer methods ranked by ease and affordability (including one that requires zero special supplies) – so you can start today regardless of your budget or equipment – clearing the last little hurdle between you and finally creating that dog portrait you've been dreaming about...
How to identify and protect the "life-giving highlights" in your dog's eyes before you even touch paint to paper – ensuring your finished piece captures your dog's unique personality – creating art that makes viewers say "You really captured their spirit!"...
Module #3
First Layers & Color Foundation
The foolproof color Process that makes every brushstroke feel intentional and confident
The "values before colors" approach that simplifies color-choosing paralysis – so you match light and dark values instead of struggling with hues – transforming the most intimidating part of rainbow portraits into a simple matching game even beginners can master...
Why starting with your darkest color first creates an instant roadmap for your entire painting – giving you clear boundaries and structure as you work – so you always know exactly what to paint next instead of staring at blank paper in confusion...
The "tilt and guide" technique for controlling exactly where watercolor flows – using simple paper angles and brush pressure to direct pigment flow – giving you the control with the beauty of watercolor...
The little-known method to fix "happy accidents" and muddy colors without starting over – plus when to embrace blooms as beautiful texture instead of mistakes – so you can paint with confidence knowing everything is still recoverable...
The 5-minute break strategy that prevents overworking and reveals hidden mistakes – allowing fresh eyes to spot what needs adjustment – so you know exactly when to pause and protect a painting you already love with "just one more layer"...
Module #4
Adding Depth & Realistic Fur
the Secrect techniques that separate amateur attempts from frame-worthy art, proving to yourself and others that you truly are an artist
The "illusion not illustration" approach to painting fur that looks detailed without painting every single strand – by suggesting texture through strategic layers rather than obsessive detail – creating portraits that look professionally detailed from normal viewing distance...
Why glazing with complementary colors creates shadows more realistic than any black paint – using the natural color wheel to create depth and dimension – transforming flat paintings into portraits that seem to pop off the page...
The difference between "hard edges" and "soft edges" and how to create each intentionally (not accidentally) – giving you complete control over where viewers' eyes travel in your painting – so every brushstroke guides attention exactly where you want it...
How different watercolor brands behave differently (and why testing your specific paints avoids unwanted surprises) – including which brands bloom unexpectedly and which stay perfectly controlled – so you can work with your materials' personalities instead of fighting against them...
The "light-handed glazing" technique that adds depth without disturbing underlying layers – allowing you to build rich, complex colors through transparent layers – creating the luminous glow that makes watercolor paintings so captivating...
Module #5
Final Details & Professional Presentation
Transform your painting into a masterpiece that makes people stop and stare, finally giving you the artistic identity and cultural validation
Why white highlights added last transform adequate paintings into masterpieces – using strategic dots and lines to create life and dimension – making the difference between a nice painting and one people can't stop staring at...
The "splatter background secret" that adds lively energy while letting tiny imperfections disappear – creating visual interest that frames your dog perfectly – so your painting looks gallery-worthy even if it's your very first attempt...
How to create museum-quality flat presentations from warped paper using just water and weight – allowing your paper dries perfectly flat and ready for framing – so your art photographs beautifully for social media and looks stunning when framed...
Why painting washes require "slow but fast" brush movement and strategic beading – transforming amateur-looking patchy backgrounds into gallery-quality color fields – giving your portraits the polished finish that has friends asking whether you’ve been painting for years...
The phone photography method that makes your paintings look professionally photographed – including the exact angles and backgrounds that get the most social media engagement – so you can share your art with pride and celebrate...
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 Rainbow Watercolor Dog Portrait online course will be sold for $97.
But that's still NOT what you're paying today.

I want to make sure the first group of students gets incredible results...
So I'll personally handle all support tickets and be there to answer your questions as you create your first rainbow watercolor dog portrait.

For the first 100 people who join now, the price is just:
$47
✅ One-time purchase. No monthly fees - EVER.
✅ Lifetime access to the entire course, including future updates.
After these 100 spots are filled, the price goes to the regular $97.
Oh...
And in case you're wondering…
Yes.
Of course there's a money-back guarantee.
In fact, I think it's ...
The BEST Money-Back Guarantee In The World
I know that before I get into anything…
I’d like to know what I’m buying and that it’s backed by a solid money-back guarantee.
And I want you to be comfortable with this buy.
Like my grandpa used to say "Test drive the car before you drive it off the lot"…

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.

This course breaks everything into simple shapes and easy steps.
If you can trace a circle, you can paint a beautiful dog portrait.

You don’t need premium supplies.
But many students want them once they see how buttery the pigment looks.

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.
