The Painted Peacock

Maybe you’ve taken my Whimsical Elephant class and are curious about painting other animals or you maybe you just want to learn how to build up some fun layers with acrylics, inks and stencils. Or maybe you just want to take a couple hours and treat yourself to some creative self-care! That’s always the reason I love to paint and draw, it’s a perfect way to let go of the hustle + bustle of life and just be in the moment of making art.

Acrylics, Inks, Stencils and Paint Pens! Oh My!

You can choose to paint on a canvas or 140lb watercolor/mixed media paper. I’ll be painting with acrylics ( Nova and Liquitex) – but choose any brand you want! It doesn’t matter, you can also pick your own color palette or go with mine. For the backgrounds we will use acrylic inks and stencils. And in the classroom, there is a link to make your own inks. Plus, you can use your own stencils or even make those too!

Welcome Gift

Receive a free downloadable printable of one of my earlier and favorite paintings - Proud Peacock. This will be available in the classroom as soon as you register. Download to your computer and print from home, or send out to a local printer to be printed on smooth paper! Use this piece as inspiration for your Painted Feather painting.

I can't wait to paint with you!

I believe being Creative is our Superpower. I hope you know I’ll be your biggest encourager when you take any of my classes! I get so much joy seeing my students thrive when they are creating and realize the many benefits that an art practice can have in their life. These Live zoom workshops are all about Play! The energy is amazing when you create with other people at the same time. You can engage with the community, ask me questions, sit back and watch or paint along beside me.

I really enjoyed the course, but you should take another angle to video yourself, so we could see exactly how you work. I really would like to see how you can paint the one you advertise when we enrolled for the course. Seems to be much more detailed. Will you add a video for that?
