 Create Your Own Fantastical Worlds with Watercolor & Ink 

I’ve always been fascinated by how watercolor and ink can transform a simple sketch into a world full of atmosphere, emotion, and story.

In this online course, I’ll guide you through every step of my process — from the first spark of an idea, to layered watercolor washes, to the final ink details that bring your illustrations to life.

This course isn’t just about technique — it’s about finding your own artistic voice, building narrative worlds, and creating surreal, dreamlike images that feel entirely your own.

Hi! I’m John Gagné!


A watercolor and ink artist drawn to the quiet magic of storytelling through imagery. My work explores surreal worlds where atmosphere, symbolism, and emotion meet — blending the mythic with the intimate.

Over the years, I’ve developed a process that combines classical technique with imaginative world-building. For me, it’s not just about tools or materials — it’s about finding your own visual language and creating art that feels deeply personal.

In Fantastical Watercolor & Ink Worlds, I’ll share everything I’ve learned about building mood, designing composition, and painting with intention — so you can bring your own dreamlike visions to life.
