How to paint mermaids for beginners

Two Mermaid online classes Art journal spread and a Mixed Media canvas!




Two lessons in one! A canvas painting, and a journal spread! These paintings were so much fun to make, I know you will enjoy them too. You can paint a face even with no experience at all.

Self-paced lessons, easy to follow!

Easy to follow instructions from start to finish.
Lesson is given in real time, just a few parts are speed-up, for practical reasons, but for the most part you see  what happens while I paint, and you can make a beautiful mermaid even if you do not have much experience painting.

What is class one about?
 This online painting class is only one project, unlike my other classes, but I have included some extras just to make it more fun.
Play with texture, collage, drawing, and different kinds of paints.
What is class two about?
The second classis a 4 page journal spread where you will learn not only to paint a cute mermaid but also to make bubbles the easy way!

These lessons are hours long but divided in parts so you can take brakes. You have access to this material for a long time, at least a year. And can watch it as many times a s you want! ♥

This lesson is a 4 page spread ♥

What do I need?
-Fast internet connection.
-Acrylic paint, mediums and brushes.
-Assorted templates and patterned paper.
The full list of materials will be given after joining the class.

 And of course I have samples and freebies! Join my youtube channel for fun  tutorials and demos.
Because of the nature of online classes and workshops, no refunds after the class has started.

Art Journal new class!

Hey guys! Thanks for visiting! Happy NEW YEAR!
Do you have your resolutions? Did you make any?? How about making more art! ♥♥♥

I am part of a new art journaling class #OneBadass Art Journal 2016

What is it? it is an amazing group of artists showing fun techniques to make one page (or spread!) each.... I am SO excited to be part of it!

If you are visiting my blog for the first time, let me tell you a little bit about me:
I absolutely love art since I can remember, more than anything I enjoy making faces and helping people to learn how to start discovering the art inside their minds.
For the last 4 years I run a challenge called 29 faces, (in february and September) where hundreds of people twice a year draw, paint, sculpt, stitch etc one face a day.... it is a crazy marathon, we chat, we make a mess, we practice and at the end of the month we learn something new about ourselves.

For those that are really new to art, I offer classes and THIS ONE is one not to miss!
We are having a Class blog hop, so click the link below to learn more about the instructors in case they are new to you. All of them are very creative ladies with a deliciously varied style.

In this workshop you will:
• get 16 badass art lessons
• learn wonderful mixed media techniques
• be infused with confidence and creativity
• learn great tips and tricks you can use again and again
• play with a variety of tools, adding to your skills
• experience beautiful color combinations and blending techniques
• make badass art journal pages

The Journal theme? Just as varied! What will be my project? ... guess!! lol Something cute and full of texture! ;o)

Blog's look and Giveaway

Every once in a while I get the bug of changing stuff around. Today was the blog's turn.
I love color, but sometimes it overwhelms me :oP So for now I'm back to all white. I will let the art be the color on the blank background.
I feel like removing half the buttons and junk from theside bar, but I do like that stuff lol
So maybe I will stick in in another side or something.....

For now, I want to celebrate that there are 677 blog friends! yaay!
And also my class "Overhaul, Prettify and Love it" is ready to go, after so many months of work, fights with the video editor and long brakes in between, it is finally done and I think it is fantastic, if I may shamelessly say so myself  (✿◠‿◠)

After thinking it over, I decided not to have the class "live"  once a week.... but rather self-paced that way it is less effort to keep up, and more instant gratification for the members taking it. It can be taken in little parts, large parts or one huge art marathon!


Registrations start now, more info HERE and the Buy button is in the side bar.

*********************************
