Art Class: Faces 101

Last week I took Carla Sonheim's Faces 101 online class. Last week was awesome. It was exactly what i needed to help me step up my creativity and commitment level to making art. I revisited some techniques from high school and college and I learned some brand new techniques. I loved it all.

This is what my 101 (plus 2) faces look like. I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you. While I can't really share the techniques used to create these pieces, I can say, I totally recommend taking a class from Carla. I know I'll be taking more in the future.

While I have been better about making art every day, this class got me really excited about making art every day. I can't wait to see where this adventure takes me! This is what I've wanted to do since I was a little girl. Make art. It feels so good to be doing just that.

Thanks for stopping by!
