So delighted to be your teacher this month as we explore an expressive portrait inspired loosely on the work of our Master Artist, Joan Eardley. As mentioned, I almost gave up on her but I’m so glad I didn’t! Enjoy this mixed media lesson where I use charcoal and pastels. Please feel free to supplement or replace the mediums I use with your favorites. Focus on expression and looseness instead of accuracy or realism. Allow yourself to feel free in this project. Don’t be afraid to scrub parts out and add more layers! Joan did this a lot!
