Online class Ladies with Character with Yvonne Morell

Hello my creative friends!

I have become completely hooked on inventing characters and watching them come alive on canvas. In this class, we'll explore painting characters that are unique to you, where quirky noses, unique hair and enormous handbags are welcome. :) Be open for anything! Let's have some fun and express it through some irresistibly ladies... if you don’t know how to draw a face, don’t worry, we will practice together! This class is for ALL levels. I hope you'll join me! This promises to be a whimsical class, where I share my way of working, with the mission, that you might be able to integreate some in your own process. xo, Yvonne

Sketching and painting intuitively

First painting project

I'll guide you through my process of how to energize the canvas with spontaneity and then move to a more observant and intuitive state. We will examine where our ladies are leading us! ;) As you witness my process of my painting I will be giving you guidance for your own project.

Painting with a plan

Second painting project

In this lesson we will be more intentional with our choice of theme and we will plan this piece out in our sketchbooks through a process of brainstorming and thumbnail sketches. We will draw from the techniques and experiences we had in our first painting but this time with a bit more direction.

Student review:

Review from Lynda. R. THANK YOU so much....this is what I've been looking for and so glad to have found you. I wasn't liking the "realistic" faces and these ladies have such personality and I love the idea of putting something personal in them. You have expanded my imagination so that I can have fun with it instead of the pressure I was experiencing. This is why I couldn't find my style - I was stuck in the same old box. I wish you could feel how exciting this is on my side - FINALLY. So so so many ideas - about patterns in the clothing - purses, who knew? And hair? I'M ALL ABOUT THE HAIR. I am just so happy - thank you thank you thank you.
