This painting is an intuitive, mixed media portrait focused on the theme of Night. It was created using acrylic paint, oil paint, pencil, graphite stick and paint pen. We begin this project by drawing with our non-dominant hand and by doing so, disconnecting from control and perfection. Our non-dominant hand can often create very freely, without the critical mind stepping in and this can allow for wonderful freedom, expression and authentic mark making. It can also feel awkward!! Hang it there! That’s kind of the point. 

We will then move to our dominant hand to tighten up our drawing. Once we fix our lines with clear gesso, I will guide you through a layered painting process where I begin with acrylics and then move to oils. If you are not an oil painter, NO worries! You can just proceed with your acrylic paints or the medium of your choice.

Let’s get started!
