What To Expect

What To Expect

This class will run live again beginning September 1st 2021. for 6 months.  On Earlybird Special until August 1st! Please see all the content below. There's a lot!!!!  Beginning late September, we will begin monthly LIVE Zoom Q&A and lovetiques again. (Wyanne's own version of a critique.) The Live sessions are determined each week by Wyanne's availability and a poll in our Facebook group.

This class is for ALL LEVELS.  Each week focuses on a new painting and substrate.  Wyanne will demonstrate it step by step and explain why she is making different choices in the painting. Wyanne will be offering mentoring art business advice each week on various subjects to help you grown professionally as an artist. Every month a Live session will be offered for critiques, questions, and advice. Live session available times are determined by a Facebook poll. But they generally will take place between 10am - 6pm EST.

A download option for videos is available.

You can expect to learn and grow braver as an artist!

Learn lots of new techniques
Be introduced to new art supplies
Learn how to combine different medias
Explore the "Rules" in abstraction and learn when to break them
Get expert mentoring advice to grow professionally
Learn how to take your painting bigger
Get rid of the Inner Critic
and much more

Even though Wyanne will demonstrate larger paintings, all the techniques can be applied to smaller work, as well.

The class consists of six areas of focus, as Wyanne takes you through many different techniques.  The class consists of step by step recorded videos of projects.  All videos are subtitled in English. With a written transcript available that can be copied into Google Translate for International students.

During a Live session of the class, Wyanne meets with students via video Facetime type platform (Zoom) to answer questions, critique work and give advice on websites and social media. She usually has one person available to help translate due to her slight speech impediment. These Live calls will also be recorded and placed in the classroom if you cannot attend.

An active Facebook group to post your work and ask questions.

Big, Bold & Brave One
