An email where someone was asking me to teach a Decorative Painting ZOOM Class. And that\u2019s how the design <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/en\/project\/decorative-painting-believe-in-the-magic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Believe in the Magic<\/a> came to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always taught during the most important craft shows here in Italy. To be honest, I\u2019ve never imagined that somebody in the United States, that\u2019s the \u201chome\u201d of Decorative Painting, would have noticed me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was thrilled, happy, and also a little scared in the very beginning, so I immediately thought&#8230; and now what??? What am I gonna do??? However, as soon as I took the pencil in my hand and I looked at the white sheet&#8230; everything was clear and in a blink of an eye my sketch was ready! <br><strong>\u201cBelieve in the Magic\u201d<\/strong> for my very first American <strong>Decorative Painting ZOOM Class!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ZOOM-Class-Country-Painting-Believe-Magic-855x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Corsi Country Painting\" class=\"wp-image-34166 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The title \u201cBelieve in the Magic\u201d actually comes from the fact that I think that everyone should always believe in the magic of dreams, the magic of the smile of someone we care, or the magic of a simple ordinary day&#8230; when you wake up and find out that someone on the other side of the world is getting in touch with you for a Decorative Painting class. And, as far as I know, I guess I was the first Decorative Painting designer from Italy teaching for American students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to admit, the very first day of the class I was quote nervous! I waned to be sure everything was all set and especially that all students would have been happy with my teaching. I was a little concerned to make mistakes, especially because I would have taught in English, that\u2019s not really my mother-language, but when I began talking&#8230; I actually never stopped! \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I always say that, right after painting, teaching is my favorite thing to do! I strongly believe that for an artist, and especially a Decorative Painting artist, it\u2019s extremely important to share the art, but especially knowledge. One of the most amazing things of the Decorative Painting world is to see what students can do, and sometimes without even knowing it, and all the progress they can do brushstroke after brushstroke!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, \u201cBelieve in the Magic\u201d was my very first Decorative Painting ZOOM Class and, surprise surprise&#8230; it\u2019s not gonna be the last one!<br>There are at least two other classes scheduled with <a href=\"https:\/\/artfulwebinars.com\/main-class-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Artful Webinars<\/a> and, who knows&#8230; this is just the beginning!<br>So, there\u2019s always a good reason to believe in the magic&#8230; this is what painting or creativity in general are about: something magic making us believe in ourself and that, sometimes, makes the unexpected happen!<br>Happy Painting,<br>Marika<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"34154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Believe-in-the-Magic-3-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Country Painting Natale\" class=\"wp-image-34154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Believe-in-the-Magic-3-980x735.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Believe-in-the-Magic-3-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"34160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Believe-in-the-Magic-4-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Country Painting Natale\" class=\"wp-image-34160\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"34158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marikamorettidesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Believe-in-the-Magic-6-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Country Painting Natale\" class=\"wp-image-34158\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a summer morning when I received that email&#8230; an email that really made my day!
