I love this class, and we're going to have tons of fun! I've taught this class a couple of times & have occasionally had frustrated students because they didn't bring pictures that are easy to work with. The success you'll have in this class hinges on the types of pictures you bring. I've decided to be much more emphatic about what you need...so, please make sure you bring:
**3 to 6 large portraits of you (or whoever you want to paint). For best success, the portrait should:
- Fill the WHOLE page. Enlarge the portrait so it fills an entire page. Seriously, the bigger the better.
- Be of just the face (or shoulders up). It's okay if some of the hair gets cut off, just get the face as big as you can.
- Be printed on a laser printer or be copied on a toner-based copy machine. Ink jet prints will smear. B&W or color is fine.
- If you can print it on cardstock, even better...if not, plain paper will work. Don't be alarmed if your picture looks pixelated when you print it...it will be just fine for this class.
You will also need all the regular art journaling stuff (gesso, paint, gel medium, pen) and an assortment of brushes in different sizes.

Oh wow that looks so cool!

So lucky for you to be going to England and Spain! I love traveling in Europe but haven't the last couple of summers. Sigh. Hopefully next summer.

Couldn't you do a online class to learn this technique?
Would be so happy to be able to participate.
