The Beauty Within

What would it be like to capture a moment of wonder, contemplation, or warm nostalgia in a portrait? Although these subtle but powerful experiences are invisible, they often inspire creativity, hope, and a sense of connection. I invite you to tap into your own treasure trove of beautiful feelings within and learn to create inspiring portraits with me.   As a professional artist and teacher with decades of experience in everything from Photoshop to painting, I will share with you a variety of tools and techniques to help you draw dreamy portraits with meaning. To do this, I will focus on three wonderful feelings – wonder, nostalgia, and contemplation – and then I will demonstrate how I express each feeling in a portrait combining graphite pencil, pastel, acrylic paint, and collage.
