TRIOS

Welcome to TRIOS!  These are casual lessons that explore a variety of subjects, mediums and techniques.  

Each  (TRIO) will include 3 real-time project tutorials that are broken into 20 minute sessions each, plus bonus material.  

Bonus material varies depending upon the subject and content focus.

Each of the TRIOS sessions will relate to each other in a specific way, reinforcing the focus of the specific topic covered.  

Each lesson will be a minimum of 60 minutes,

broken into, approximately, 20 minutes each.

​

​

These are self-paced and you may join at any time.

TRIOS: Simple Mix is the first in this series.

TRIOS:  SIMPLE MIX

Technique and media practice:

Using water soluble pencils and blocks, adding acrylic paint.

​

We begin most  TRIOS sessions by gesturally sketching our subject, practicing loosening up and drawing expressively.  Once our drawing is established we move on to explore our subject using specific medium or combination of mediums.

 

 TRIOS: Simple Mix, is  for you, if you enjoy the act of drawing and would like to know how to add acrylic paint without losing your beautiful, expressive drawing marks.   

TRIOS: Simple Mix, is designed for those who would like to get more comfortable with using acrylics while mixing media.  We start simple, learning the basics of acrylic application specifically when used in combination with water-soluble pencils and blocks, while working on paper.  We ease into mixed media, drawing & painting while exploring the human face.  While not specifically a portrait class, many portrait basics are covered.   You may follow along using a reference image that I provide, or work from your own reference, model or works using a mirror.

Once I have explained my process to develop an interesting under-drawing, I then show you how I add layers of white acrylic to my drawing to create beautiful depth and volume.
