"I have been given the keys to originality! So much I did not know about color theory is now making sense to me. I am ready to paint paint paint! So Good!"
-Charlotte Champlin
You've Already Got the Passion
now it's time to learn the techniques
↓
-
When I introduce abstract color, my paintings turn into a hot mess.
-
I'm embarrassed that my paintings don't stand out from the rest.
-
When I bring in a bunch of color, I feel like I lose control of the painting.
-
The work on the canvas isn’t aligned with the vision I have in my head.
-
I want to paint beautiful faces that look real.
-
I want to learn more than just skill & technique, I want my art to tell a story.
-
I want to mix my color and make art that makes you feel something.
-
I want to paint like Charla.
