Painting (and drawing) Mixed Media Whimsical Faces

It's easy to create with Mixed Media, even for beginners! Why Mixed media? Because you can pick from such a great array of products and mix & match them to create a beautiful, whimsical face. We are going to work in an A4 art journal and use all the art supplies you have at hand: a pencil, watercolor crayons, white gesso, acrylics, and watercolor pencils. Don't worry if you don't have all the supplies I use, you can still create great art journal pages! I'm here to guide you along the progress and show you the alternative materials and art supplies you can use instead until you buy more, if you ever decide so. And if you are brave enough {which I know you are!}, you'll notice that you can be creative with little art supplies!

Draw and paint with me this beautiful face incorporating your own drawing style.

What you'll learn in this class

• How to overcome the fear of drawing - draw with no rules and create your unique whimsical face! How to divide the oval face shape into small parts to build the face.
  
• How to add color to the face using watercolor crayons
• How to blend the skin tones to get that whimsical look
• How to build an abstract background without using stencils or stamps
• How to learn from your mistakes and redo a page
• How to use your imagination in the process...and more!

I love to draw and paint whimsical faces because they are so unique, so gorgeous, so versatile ... you can imagine the face in any way you want and you can tweak the "ordinary" face shape, eyes, nose, and hair to get that uniqueness you are going to love. Let your creativity flourish while you create a fabulous page in your art journal!

I'll meet you in the class!
