Drawing Expressive Faces
Beginners Workshop
Even some accomplished artists shy away from drawing faces. There's so much anxiety & fear of failure!
Let me show you how easy it can be!
We'll explore more abstract & representative ways of drawing faces. A squiggle for a nose. Blocks of color for cheeks. Simplified eyes that work for every face.
Let this be the begining of your journey in drawing faces.
You can draw yourself or your loved ones. Or even a famous person if you want to! I estimate that we can get 2 drawings done in our workshop.
When you register, you will be prompted to email a photo of the people you'd like to draw. In the workshop, I will show you how to transfer the image right onto your paper. And away we go!

Motivational Collage Book
Turning your 'word' into a book of images
Choosing an intentional word of the year is fun & inspiring. Let's birth our 'word' to guide & focus us through the next twelve months. This project could also be a gift book of love that you make for someone else.
I have old picture books that we'll collage over with images & quotes that inspire & motivate us to live our word of the year.
Supplies provided: book, magazine & printed images; collected fabrics, 3-D objects, upcycled materials, glitter, & much more. We'll have several hours to dive into this project!
Exploring Oil Pastels
This often-overlooked medium is great because it offers vibrant, painterly color with the convenience of a stick, providing rich textures, easy blending, and versatility without the mess or drying time of paint, making it perfect for spontaneous, expressive art at all skill levels.
In this beginner's workshop, we'll practice making two art pieces: one still-life subject & one face. Jump in & explore with me!
Next class TBD
