- Mary-Ellen Lee

"I did binge watch. How could I not? I had to see what you were going to do with the area bugging you. You successfully demonstrated 'to not give up' and to make, what might seem like radical change,s to areas that aren't working quite right.
That really sunk in and has helped me already. Great class!Thank you Charla."

Stop using lines to paint wrinkles. Do more than just recreate a reference.
Use the language of color and brushwork to tell a story. For many artists painting is what happens when you put brush to canvas. It's time to do more than recreating a reference image, it's time to use structure, skills and unique expression to put a story on your canvas.
Sometimes we know the story before we start and sometimes the painting tells us the story. Learn how to control colors and marks and also how to make space for the piece to evolve as you work.

"Another great class! I love being able to see the painting, the palette and the reference photo all at the same time especially since there were so many colors. I have been challenged, in a good way, and encouraged by both the classes and the community."
