It’s time to create your own “Mona Lisa” or whatever makes you smile! Ms. Nicole (and assistant artist Ms. Camille) will take you on a live Zoom step-by-step 2 session journey to complete your very own portrait painting, fit for a museum or better yet, your own home! On day one, you will share your portrait subject (you or a family member or a pet), then we will talk about composition, proportion and style. We will draw some practice sketches, choose the best and map out our canvases. On day two, we will prepare our paint palettes, talk a bit about color choices and then paint. For the final wrap-up, we will have a group sharing session and “ooh and ahh” over our masterpieces!
