Hello my wonderful creatives!
I have become completely hooked on inventing characters and watching them come alive on canvas.
In this class, we'll explore painting characters that are unique to you, where quirky noses, unique hair and enormous handbags are welcome. :) Be open for anything!
Let's have some fun and express it through some irresistibly sassy ladies... if you don’t know how to draw a face, don’t worry, we will practice together! This class is for ALL levels.
I hope you'll join us! This promises to be a whimsical class full of discovery and exciting techniques!
xo,
Yvonne

Here's a description of each of our special projects:
Lesson 1 - Various exercises to get familiarized with drawing faces
How to place light on a face
Get inspired and creative with hair
Creating Different brush strokes
Lesson 2 - Painting Intuitive ladies
I'll guide you through my process of how to energize the canvas with spontaneity and then move to a more observant and intuitive state. We will examine where our ladies are leading us! ;)
As you witness my process of my painting I will be giving you guidance for your own project.
Lesson 3 - Ladies with a plan
In this lesson we will be more intentional with our choice of theme and we will plan this piece out in our sketchbooks through a process of brainstorming and thumbnail sketches.
We will draw from the techniques and experiences we had in our first painting but this time with a bit more direction.
Bonus lesson - Accessorize the ladies
In this super fun bonus lesson, I will show you how I love to add whimsical 3D accessories to my ladies! This is where your imagination can really fly. I'll be adding adorable glasses to my girls but you could add any bit of pizazz your ladies might enjoy!
