Do you feel uninspired and stuck at home? Join artist, author, and illustrator Jessie Kanelos Weiner to learn how to capture a moment in time to create a unique self-portrait!

This class is for anyone who is stuck at home and would like to reimagine their experience through an artistic lens, whether you’re a beginner or an already seasoned artist looking to capture this moment. This course is to help you evaluate your surroundings, observe emotional cues and how to synthesize all of this into a self portrait that captures a time and place. We’ll be covering:

Choosing the tools & supplies for your project

Brainstorming “Mad-Lib” Style to conceptualize a moment in time

Composition Techniques to sketch your idea

Creating a color wheel to learn basic color theory and watercolor mixing techniques

Watercolor Do’s and Don’ts to execute your self portrait

You will gain valuable insight into how to see and communicate visual ideas including tips and tricks from a professional illustrator, and how apply these methods to their own creative practices and expertise to make an evocative self-portrait.

Art directors often ask to see your personal work because it is much more evocative of your own interests and truth. If you are interested in pursuing illustration or building up a portfolio, this course is a good catalyst in creating new, engaging work.

And the final project will be a telling artifact of the crazy moment in time!
