THE ART OF MEDIEVAL PAINTING
A Complete Guide to Mastering Medieval-Style Painting – Over 18 Hours of Art Instruction available in my two courses
Illumination is a skill you can master - yes, YOU!
✨ New to painting animals or using gold leaf and worried it’ll be hard to start?
Relax! Even if you’ve never picked up a brush or touched a sheet of gold leaf before, you’ll be creating stunning results in no time. We’ll break everything down step by step, and with the help of this bundle, you can learn both skills at your own pace.
✨ Think gouache or gilding sound too complex?
I’ll share all the insider tips and tricks to help you conquer this dazzling art form with confidence.
✨ Worried you’re not “artistic” enough?
Let me tell you a secret: talent is great, but it’s practice that truly transforms your work. The more you show up, the more your skills grow — and you might just unlock a new passion you didn’t know was waiting for you.
Hi, I'm Julia!
I've been passionate about art from an early age, especially painting portraits and animals. After school, I pursued book studies, German studies, and art history at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Master’s in 2012, PhD in 2017).
During my studies, I focused on Johannes Gutenberg and the invention of book printing, particularly the fascinating transition from manuscripts to mass-produced books, where hand-painted details still made each copy unique.
In 2013, I began painting reproductions of Gutenberg Bible pages, combining my love for art with my academic background. Since then, I’ve worked as a freelance artist, specializing in illumination. Over time, I’ve received many questions about my techniques, and now, I’m excited to share my knowledge.

Create a Medieval-Style Initial with Gold Leaf
You'll have mastered the steps to sketch, paint, and decorate your own initial inspired by Gothic medieval manuscripts, complete with intricate patterns and vibrant colors.
Apply Historical
Gilding Techniques
You will learn how to craft your own gesso following a researched historical recipe, allowing you to achieve a beautiful, authentic gilding effect using gold leaf.
Understand the Art of Book Illumination
Beyond the technical skills, you’ll gain valuable insights into the rich history and techniques of medieval book illumination, bringing context and depth to your creative process.
COURSE CONTENT
In this complete bundle, you’ll master the art of medieval book illumination — from painting vibrant animals to applying real gold leaf, just like the artisans of the past.
With over 18 hours of content, 15 modules, and more than 90 video lessons, this bundle guides you step by step through both painting and gilding techniques. Whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll be able to pause, replay, and revisit the lessons at your own pace — learning exactly the way that works best for you.Â
Start by uncovering the symbolic meaning of animals in illuminated manuscripts, then learn to draw and paint six creatures — including a serpent, dolphin, rabbit, cat, horse, and eagle — while building key skills like fur, scale, and feather rendering.
Then, dive into the world of gold leaf. You’ll learn to sketch and decorate medieval-style initials, mix your own gesso using a historical recipe, and apply authentic gilding techniques to complete your own luminous works of art.
By the end, you’ll have created multiple full illuminations and developed a deep connection to this rich, historical craft.
