Figurative Art -Soul Sisters - Virtual Workshop - Sept.20-21

HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO PAINT THE FIGURE BUT FEEL INTIMIDATED?

I will show you my step-by-step process of painting a group of ladies in long dresses. You will learn the essentials of creating simplified figures using negative painting and scraping techniques. Further interest and pattern may be created using stencils and collage.

In this workshop you will: 

Create a figurative painting. 

Practice Intuitive Composition and Breaking the Rules. 

Receive feedback and get direction. 

For a more personal experience, there is an option to add on a private one-on-one 30-minute coaching call to get feedback and help in going forward, or to receive written feedback and revisions of your painting.
