Psst- the teacher isn’t looking. 🤡 🌅 Get your phone and post your favorite pic. Drop it in the comments below. __________________________________ 👆🏻Cliff Notes Version 👇🏻 A little more detail. The why 👉🏻 In LESSON 1, _________________________ The amount of detail we put into realism paintings simply isn’t stored in your brain. Not yet… and honestly, maybe not ever. That is NORMAL! The first lesson is in classroom HERE After you read the lesson, find 1 or 2 or even 3 images that mean something special to you. They do NOT have to be images you plan to paint. Think of it as building your inspiration library for this entire community. Later, we will VOTE on the one to paint in class. Drop it. What makes that image so special to you?

This is going to be a pinned post for introductions. Please let us know 🌎 Where in the world are you? I find it so cool that we are so international. 🌱 What kind of art experience do you have? Elementary school all the way to I paint almost daily is all cool. 🖌️ Have you ever tried Oil Paints before? Are you afraid or do you love them? 🖼️ Share a bit of your work here if you feel comfortable.

Ok - I am totally off my rocker on this one but I really want to have something amazing here. One of the things that made my in-person classes so special… no two people were painting the same thing. 🐈 Someone painted their cat. 🏡🏡 Someone painted their grandfather's home. 🌻🌻🌻 Someone painted a flower from their own garden. 🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟 🫟 🫟 🎬 6 weeks 🫟 🎨 You and me, one to one 🫟 🖼 you create a painting that means a whole lot to you. 🫟 🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟 We take an image from your life and we turn it into something you’re proud of. I walk you through it step by step until it works. And when I say you can paint anything… I mean ANYTHING! I spent years in art school studying the human figure (which is about as hard as it gets)… so yes — your dog, your kid, your favorite place… we can do that. I’m only taking 3 people at a time MAX. Not to create obscurity but literally, that is all I can dedicate so much time to. Check out the classroom. HERE
