Ready to revolutionize the way you paint? Welcome to a five-week, online painting adventure.
The Bloom True E-Course is a five-week painting adventure designed to connect body, mind, and spirit while celebrating intuition and creative freedom.
This thoughtfully designed course was my very first online course, and it has been updated throughout the years. It was created to support both first-time painters and professional artists (and everyone else in between!) as you move through fear, embrace intuition, find your style, and open up to a new world of creative possibilities.
See you in the Studio!

“I’m 69 and had wanted to paint ever since I was a teenager… However, the blank canvas always screamed ‘Go away! You have no idea what you’re doing!’ That is until about 5 months ago when a friend lent me your book Brave Intuitive Painting. It was a message from beyond that released my fear of that blank canvas. Now, whenever I feel stymied, I watch your YouTubes where you paint with so much freedom and I’m re-inspired. I now try to paint every day. Thank you, thank you.”
“Flora’s class invited me to experiment with shapes, textures, color, etc. It also taught me a huge lesson, which is, “It’s okay to Let Go.” Sighing a breath of relief as I just wrote this. Thank you, Flora.”
“Flora’s class was my first online art class and I LOVED IT!! Flora is a natural teacher. I was soooooo impressed with the website, videos, online interviews, etc. First class all the way! I’ll be back for more!”
“Learning to let go. This is the most precious and important lesson that I gained from Flora Bowley and the Bloom True process. Letting the painting become what it’s supposed to be, and listening to my intuition. Grateful is not really enough of a word to express how I feel about the course, Flora, and the new life it has given me.”
“I have been churning out canvases like never before since taking Flora’s course. She is so inspiring, and I’ve learned so much! I highly recommend Bloom True for anyone looking for new skills and creative inspiration.”
“I am so deeply grateful. My painting has evolved and has become something fresh, new and delightful. I can’t even begin to thank Flora for her influence, not just on my painting, but on my LIFE. I’ve been navigating some serious illness throughout this process, and to paint like this, even in small, 15-minute per-day doses, has brought me joy that I can’t put into words.”
“Even though I have been painting for 10 years, this is the first art class that I’ve ever taken. It deepened my understanding, and made me feel more confident knowing I had the tools and knew how and when to use them. Flora’s wise and gentle guidance gave me the perfect encouragement to show up exactly as I was, stay open and present to the moment and discover my authentic style. I feel like my work will forever be separated into “before Bloom True” and after.”
“Inspiring, empowering and encouraging. It’s an excellent course for painters who are stuck in their ways, and are ready to explore and open up. I have been painting for over 20 years, and this course reignited my love for experiencing paint in a different way, which has been transformational.”
“Flora’s E-Course (I have taken it twice before) is the best thing my soul was ever longing for. Her abundantly wise lessons have opened so many new doors for me. It led me to reconnect to powerful creativity: intuitive painting as a healing, freeing and ultimately happy-making form. Since then, I am painting regularly and my own artistic voice is becoming clearer every day.”
“I have always wanted to paint ‘like me,’ to just let go and, if people like what I do, then great. I feel like this is happening now. It also has had an extremely therapeutic effect on me as I am also signed off work with stress. I feel totally absorbed when I am painting. Overall, it has helped to ignite my creative spark, which has been dormant for too long. I am so grateful that this came my way at this time.”
“Bloom True held the space for me to do and feel so much. It is a gift to feel like a painter, to practice listening and courage, and mostly trust. It is a different, forgiving, joyful way of painting, and a gift to yourself. Completely worth the cost — you get so much amazing, multifaceted material.”
“This course is amazing: it has helped me go from someone who didn’t paint and only worked small, to an artist who is comfortable with a paintbrush and bold colors. It has made me someone who decided it was time to MAKE ROOM! I have found my true passion and this course has given oxygen to my tiny spark. It has created a roaring fire of hope, trust and possibility, and it has strengthened my creative spirit!”
“Flora is one of those rare individuals who provided a safe space for me to open my wings to fly again in my painting journey. I’m incredibly grateful for her kindness, gentle approach and warm words of encouragement. Her E-Course is a life changer!”
“Bloom True encourages artists at any level to let go of negative thoughts in order to create room for a more joyful form of self-expression.”
“I had never painted anything before taking Flora’s course, now I love to paint almost daily for fun, therapy and even profit. Flora is just beautifully real. I highly recommend her courses.”
“Flora Bowley’s course taught me to tap into the creative force in my soul, which had been buried for a long time. What a blessing that is. <3”
“Bloom True had a powerful impact on me. I’d been taking on-line classes, but was struggling with perfectionism. Recreating my story and letting go of negative thought patterns was just what I needed. I have really felt a shift in my attitude. This is not just another art class — you will be encouraged and guided on a journey to help you begin to paint in a much more beautiful, spontaneous way.”
“Bloom True has helped me release the inner voice that likes to say my art isn’t good enough. That’s silly. Good enough for whom? I am an artist by virtue of making art! Bloom True is a creative joy ride that is as much about trust, intuition, delving in and letting go, as it is about painting. You would love it!”
“This process of painting has brought vitality and strength to me, through a transitional time in my life. I feel renewed and uplifted to have had this experience of Bloom True. I enjoyed the healing process of ‘letting go,’ and allowing the painting to unfold.”
“More than an art course, it’s a complete experience for the heart and soul. I loved how the course encourages you to trust yourself, paint from the heart and, in doing so, to develop your own, unique style. Up until now, I have largely been stuck in the place of copying artists. This course opened me up to the exciting possibility that I am an artist in my own right and, if I trust myself and do the work, I can make art that is unique, exciting and meaningful to me.”
“This course was inspiring and interesting. I loved the warmth and embrace that was conveyed throughout the course. The insights and knowledge I have received through the course are things that have become the undercurrent to finding and discovering my own voice in my artwork. I believe its effects will be long-lasting and will stay with me going forward.”
“This course did more for my mental state then months of therapy.”
“My heart and spirit were broken before I met Flora. Everything about the course helped me reconnect with my true self again. Her inspiring messages, authentic voice and energy allowed me to find my creative again. Flora taught me so many wonderful tools in life rituals, and painting through freedom and joy.”
“There are several layers of lessons woven throughout the Bloom True course. I feel so alive, grounded and free from the paintings that I have been making. Flora is so inspiring and she brought me back to myself through this work. I will continue to explore! I am so grateful.”
“Taking Flora’s online class was an eye-opening experience for me. I am a newbie to painting and she instilled confidence that I didn’t know I had. I connected with her gentle approach to painting. She is a gift to the painting world. I appreciate all I learned!”
“Flora’s course was life changing. I have never enjoyed the process of painting as much as I do now. I have much more trust in myself and in what I bring to the painting. Her course is not just about painting, but noticing the abundance in our lives and how we bring that to our paintings.”
“Flora’s course opened my eyes to the creative blocks I have been creating for myself. She shared her knowledge and gifts in a way that really changed the way I approach art from this point on.”
“This class changed my life as much as my painting. I now cherish my intuition on the canvas and off. How did I ever live any other way? It is so much more than a painting class. It was full of wonderful, technical information, but placed in a larger context of life and creating. It would be worth 10 times the cost!”
“Absolutely transformational! I’ve never viewed art in this way before. Letting go of the outcome altogether gives way to such an incredible possibility for creativity that I never even imagined I had. Flora, I feel blessed to have found you. Thank you so much.”
“I am so grateful for the sense of being held, guided and nurtured through the process; and it’s because of this that I felt my heart crack wide open. The balance of technical and spiritual was just perfect for me. I LOVED this course and I recommend it to anyone interested in creating and growing.”
“Since I have been painting so much, I find that I look at the world differently now. Suddenly the trees near my home are MORE colorful. My eyes are suddenly tuned into the world of color more vividly. <3 Loving it.”
“The Bloom True E-Course is wonderful. It can mean many things to different kinds of creative people, from the beginner to the experienced artist. The process is inspirational and magical. I totally recommend this E-Course for all levels of artists.”
“The course has had an incredible impact on me. As soon as the course started, I knew I had made the right decision. Flora is so supportive and the course is so well put together, that I found myself painting with ease — mainly because I really took to heart the words, ‘there are no mistakes’. It’s much more than a painting course really; it’s a course about life.”
Flora is an artist, author, and creative visionary known for her intuitive approach to painting.
