Hello dear creative friend! I am Ida Andersen Lang, professional artist and art teacher with decades of experience. In this class, I am thrilled to share with you my profound love for intuitive portrait drawing and painting. There is something truly magical about capturing the essence of a person, not just their likeness, but the deeper, soulful qualities that make them unique.
In this course, we will explore the intuitive process of drawing and painting portraits, using watercolor and mixed media to create works that are vibrant, expressive, and full of life. We’ll dive into timeless symbols and affirmations of grace and compassion, awakening the Divine Within as we create. Additionally, we will extend this creative exploration into the art of making oracle cards, where you’ll design meaningful symbols and use gold accents to craft your own personal deck.
I have always been captivated by the power of intuition in art, the ability to let go and allow the creative process to flow naturally. With pencil and brush in hand, I will guide you on a journey to discover your inner artist, using simple shapes and forms to build faces from imagination and memory. We’ll explore how adding loose and suggestive watercolor and mixed media over your base drawing can bring your portraits to life in unexpected and beautiful ways.
All levels are welcome, and no prior experience in portrait drawing is required. I will show you everything you need to tap into your intuition and create portraits that are not only visually striking but deeply meaningful. The materials you’ll need are simple, allowing you to fully enjoy and immerse yourself in this creative journey.
xo,
Ida
