Mirror study started as a simple challenge to myself and became one of my most powerful learning tools. In this class I will share my approach in:
Learning by doing, painting with “no mistakes”, testing new mediums in a controlled setting, world building, making and breaking rules, and some very basic rendering, proportion and color theory. I will break down the very basics like setting up a paint palette, how to read the key on your paint tube, as well as show you a variety of layer building ideas and tools to open up your paints potential and nurture an environment where you can make confident marks and bold decisions.
I will provide everything you need to complete your self study. We will be working in a limited pallet, I will be teaching with professional quality acrylic paints and colored pencils. Feel free to bring anything you’d like to work with knowing that I will be teaching you with tools I am most familiar with.
Live demos, group discussion, one on one feedback, and independent work time in my studio.
By the end of our 3 days together you will leave the studio with your completed 9×12 Self Portrait.
This class has been so fun to incorporate into my creative practice and I can’t wait for the experience you’ll gain from taking it to influence your approach in painting for yourself.

9x12 image printed on 11x14 paper This is a reductive linocut meaning the black layer is carved out of the yellow layer thereby destroying the first layer to print the second. This will never be reproduced. All of them are a little different, none of them are perfect. Out of the 90 attempts I made, these are what met my standards of registration and print quality.
