About This Mini Course

This is a sample from my Teen Beauty & Wisdom course
where I present a simple and soulful method of “self-portraiture”
with young people,empowering them to embrace their own unique beauty and vast wisdom.
Part of the teaching is how to paint landscape and seascape that later on they will incoporate into their portrait painting.

If you wish to teach painting or just to learn some basics, this a great way to begin.
I show it to everyone who comes to my painting classes and after painting a seascape and landscape they feel confident to begin painting what ever the wish.

You will be able to teach:
How to blend colors
How to creat values and shades
How to paint perspective
How to use depth in theitr painting
How to paint little people
How to paint the sea
How to paint hills and trees

With that they will feel relaxed and confident to paint their portrait.
So lets pass it on to those who wish to learn
your painting secrets :)

    Instructor Bio:

    Art is my medicine I need to take as often as possible.
    It is also the medicine I have to give, by sharing my art and facilitating the space for others to practice

    Although I have many years of formal art education I have found myself blocked in my creativity because of so much information that diverted me away from my inner vision.
    Since then, I have evolved so that my paintings today come from an inner well, no planning, just opening and listening to what wants to come through me.
    It is a process of discovery in which I can find myself crying in awe. After studying art for many years it was a journey to find my way back to my true voice, my inner vision.
    I am grateful to be where I am now finding my joy in art and helping others find it.
