These are from my school days. The school I went to doesn't exist any longer, but it was started by Fred Fixler, and I was taught by his student Norm Nason for the most part. I'll include a link to Fred's memorial site. And I added a few I made for you guys to print and post near your easel.

Written Lesson -This is how Felicia first taught herself to slow down and prioritize the fundamentals of shape, value, and edge in order to become consistent in her outcomes regarding accuracy and desired affect. To choose a process and stick to it faithfully until it becomes second nature and no longer offers challenge is the fastest way to learn this skill. This is the process Felicia developed and then followed for 4-5 years before she needed to evolve to learn more.

Written Lesson & Video - This is the natural next step after grasping Felicia's drawing tutorial. You are asked to repeat the seemingly simple but most essential aspects of her process without moving onto any finish/detail. This is a three hour drill of 5 starts on one page. If you practice this exercise you strengthen your ability to observe the big picture first leading you to more accurate shapes, values, and color. This the core of the painting process that Felicia used to build her skill.

Written Lesson -This is how Felicia translated what she learned in her step by step drawing method into her alla prima portrait painting practice. The prioritization of fundamentals and a strict step by step process continues with the addition of the complexity paint: color, application, texture/consistency. The repetition of this exercise from either life or master copy within the limitations laid out in this lesson was the number one factor in the building of her skill with painting.

A log of the video recordings posted after Creativity Club meetings which is available to all member tiers.

Welcome into Felicia's Studio. See what she's working on and how she develops her personal creative practice. This is what Felicia calls the Art (with a capital A) Path. 95% real time painting with occasional speeding up and occasional voiceover.

These are videos of either studies, or demonstration paintings for Felicia's live classes. This collection is geared toward what Felicia calls "Study Path". These are great for watching Felicia's technique in action. 95% real time painting with occasional speeding up and occasional voiceover.

I'll be flushing this lesson out later, but here's some fun examples of what I have in mind. You start with one shape and go out from there. Intentional in every step, no layers.
