what to expect

Class Begins May 25 - June 8, 2012.
In this ecourse, we'll have 6 Weeks to paint together! I'll share how to paint my most popular girls step by step, starting with the templates I use to create my own girl characters, breaking them down into 3 simple body shapes, so you can easily create your own!
We’ll go through my entire painting process layer by layer With 3 weekly posts of videos, stories and photos on painting technique (Mondays), inspiration from art, artist interviews and favorite recipes (Wednesdays), and life as an artist (Fridays). And I'll share lots of tips and stories on staying inspired and finding joy in your every day...cooking videos, fun activities, tips from other artists and more! all in an encouraging and friendly environment.
i've designed this e-course with busy people in mind, so it's easy for you to focus on what you'd really like to learn when you have the time whether it's the lessons for painting technique on mondays (videos and step by step instructions), additional inspiration on wednesdays, or life as an artist stories on fridays. i'll also have a pdf for you at the end of class and you'll have access to our class website for two months after the end of class, so you can feel free to go at your own pace!

You don’t need any painting experience or expensive art supplies to take this class-all you really need are a few paints and brushes (your fingers work just fine!) and an openness to let go and love your most creative self. It’s all about having a place to begin, so your imagination can wander!
If you've already taken my owl e-course, this will take everything a bit further with new techniques and characters! if you haven't taken a workshop with me before, that's okay too. This class is for everyone and all! Read what past students are saying and see the amazing art they've created right here!

Week 1: Backgrounds

I've been experimenting with lots of new techniques and supplies in my studio and I can't wait to share them with you! I’ll show you how I fill in all of that white space, secrets to choosing colors, inspiration from some of my favorite artists, different techniques to use and ways to make them work with your girls!

Week 2: Face and Hair

this week is all about putting a face on our girls! I’ll share with you some tricks I use to make my eyes look not just pasted on. i'll aslo show you a few simple drawing templates I use to create my own girl characters, breaking them down into simple hair and face shapes so you can easily create your own!

Week 3: The Uniform Body

WHenever I want to focus most on my character's face and scenery, I give my girl the body shape I call the "uniform." This week I'll show you how to create this look and make it your own! We'll get inspiration for ways to express ourselves in our artwork and develop our own unique style too!

Week 4: The Paper Doll Body

When I first started painting my girl characters, I remembered what I loved most as a child-drawing characters and cutting out their outfits! This week I'll have lots of simple paper doll templates for you to cut out and use to create those fabulous outfits and accesories, making them fun and easy!

Week 5: The Organic Body

we’ll combine everything we’ve been learning about color, shape and supplies to create girls that merge with their backgrounds. We'll get into all of the tricks I've learned along the way too- what supplies work best together and how to really make your character and background pop!

Week 6: Review

This week is all about review. We'll go over everything we've learned and have lots of time to catch up. I’ll also be sure to answer any questions you might have that will help everyone in the workshop!

i can't wait to see the amazing girls you paint!

FAQ

When is this class?

class runs may 25 - june 8, 2012! Register now! And sign up for my newsletter to get in on added details!

How Do I Sign up?

Sign up by clicking the Register button at the top of this page to proceed with your Paypal payment. At the end of our 6 weeks, you will still have access to the entire course content for 2 months.

I've never taken an e-course. How does it work?

The HOW TO PAINT A GIRL e-course is an online painting class. Once you register, at the start of the e-course I will email you the login and password needed to access the e-course's private website. The website consists of a private blog (where lessons are posted 3 days a week in the form of text, videos and photos), a private gallery (where students can upload their artwork and make comments on others' paintings, if they wish), and a private discussion group (where students can ask questions, make comments and get to know one another). During the 6 Weeks of class, I'm in the discussion group and gallery, answering questions and making comments too. Then students get a downloadable pdf with all of the text and photos and have access to the private class website for an additional 2 months after the end of class, to make sure there is enough time for everything.

What If I've taken the How To Paint An Owl E-course...will I still learn something new?

Absolutely! Even all of the backgrounds I teach in this class will be completely new! We'll get more into painting eyes too! Plus I'll focus on ways to nourish your creative self and stay inspired!

Is there a limit to how many people will be in class?

Yes. I've limited the number of spots available to be sure every question can be answered.

Do I have to complete every assignment?

No. But I know you’ll learn even more and have a ton of fun if you do. And, please, don't feel rushed! you'll have plenty of time! All of the coursework will be available to you for two months after the end of class! Plus i'll have a free pdf with all of the text and photos for you at the end of class. And you'll have the option to download all of the videos so you can refer to those after class too.

Will there be a pdf from the class?

Yes. I will have a free downloadable pdf with all of the class photos and text at the end of the workshop.

Do I need to buy all of the supplies?

Not at all. I only have a few supplies and brands that I recommend in particular because I've found they work best together. and you'll only need a scanner or camera if you want to participate in our online gallery.

Can I share the workshop site, info and videos with a friend?

Please keep in mind, I have really put all my heart into this workshop (and all of my paintings) and I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t share the links with anyone who has not paid for the workshop.

Do I need to know how to paint, draw, or be artistic?

This workshop is for everyone! We're all creative in some way! And my intention is to get a fabulous group together and share with you a place to begin so you're creativity can wander in any direction (writing, painting, sculpting, music, etc)!

What if I miss a week (or more)?

You’ll have full access to all of the workshop lessons for 2 months after the end of class. Plenty of time to catch up or just look over things again. Plus, I'll have a free pdf with all of the class text and photos at the end of our class too!

Do I have to post my work to the private gallery?

Of course not. But I really love looking at everyone’s work and seeing just what makes each piece different. I know others do too. This is a totally private, safe, positive and encouraging group. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!
