I developed this class for anyone who wants to let their creativity wander. I'll share with you the drawing templates I use to create my own whimsical girl characters, breaking them down into simple lines and shapes, so you can easily create your own!
We’ll go through my entire painting process layer by layer with 3 weekly posts of videos, stories and photos on painting technique (mondays), inspiration from art, artist interviews and favorite recipes (wednesdays), and life as an artist (fridays). and i'll share lots of tips and stories on staying inspired and finding joy in your every day...cooking videos, fun activities, tips from other artists and more! all in an encouraging and friendly environment. And there will be plenty of time to have all of your questions answered too!
We’ll add lots of color and embellishments! And I’ll let you in on all of the little tricks I’ve learned along the way-what supplies work best together, how to choose colors and really make your character and background pop!
We’ll use all sorts of art supplies (acrylics, pastels, ink, colored pencils and GLITTER!) along with vintage wallpaper, origami paper, sheet music, and journal pages.
