Welcome! I’m sharing this special, FREE Mixed Media Portrait Lesson from Studioworks. Enjoy!

I’m so excited to share this lesson with you guys! I had an absolute blast working with our double primary palette to create this little lady. This is seriously my new favorite way to mix my color. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn with you!

Have fun exploring this palette and your connection to these colors! Play freely with both the color and your linework and mark making. Really feel into this work. Focus on what you are trying to express with your portrait and then follow that feeling with your brush work, colors and marks.
