Paint What You See. Bring It to Life.
Hey, I'm Alonsa!
I’m a Chilean-American artist and oil painter endlessly inspired by the beauty, mystery, and aliveness of the natural world. Fruit, botanicals, light, texture, and atmosphere are at the heart of my work, and over time, sharing that way of seeing has brought together a community of 80K+ people on Instagram.My paintings have been exhibited internationally and featured in publications including Forbes, Time Out NYC, VICE, and The National News UAE.

REFLECTIONS FROM MY MENTORSHIP STUDENTS
I’m so grateful to have been working with Alonsa to shift my painting approach for an upcoming series. I have been both learning new techniques and coming back to my earlier painting methods. 🫶 I love learning from artists 💗
Working with Alonsa was exactly what I needed. She helped me better understand my process, improve my approach to color and color harmony, and, most importantly, pushed me to keep creating, experimenting, and exploring new ideas.
What I really appreciate is how clear and layered your explanations are. I notice that whenever you explain something, especially when I’m questioning or trying to understand, you approach it from multiple angles — visual, descriptive, sensory, structured — almost like you’re speaking to different parts of the brain at once.
Alonsa, an all time painting role-model, helped me work through the initial composition and painting. I'm grateful for her mentorship and the clarity that came from sharing ideas with her before they felt completely ready.
Working with Alonsa profoundly impacted my artistic journey. With the in-person workshops in Dubai I learned many technical skills to make my paintings more realistic and with better color harmony, and with the Zoom feedback sessions, she helped clarify my creative voice. I am deeply grateful for her dedicated support and empowering guidance.

PLATFORM TOUR
Inside Alive Nature, I want you to feel as though you’re stepping into my studio and painting alongside me.
Across 35+ video lessons and 6.5+ hours of content, I’ll guide you through my process, from choosing references and understanding your materials to value, freehand drawing, color, temperature, edges and, finally, bringing everything together in a complete oil painting. The lessons are visual and practical. You’ll see the references I work from, watch how I mix and adjust color, follow each stage of a painting, and pause whenever you want to try the techniques yourself.
Because Alive Nature is completely self-paced, you can move through the course in a way that suits your own practice, revisiting exercises or spending more time on the lessons you need most. You’ll also have access to the private student community, and once you complete your final painting, you can send it to me for a personal recorded review of your finished piece.
Take your time. Experiment. Look closely. The goal isn’t to rush, but to understand more deeply what happens along the way.
