Kingdom Come "Free" Online Class!!!

I am super excited to announce a free online class that I am getting ready to launch in September!! It is called Kingdom Come. You may or may not know that I am a Christian. I have recently started really getting back into God's word and finally feel like I am learning what it means to have a "personal relationship" with Jesus.

I have been praying that God will show me how to serve others with my art and this is what I (with His help) have come up with.

This course is going to start Sunday, September 14 and consist of 5 weeks in an art journal (which I will show you how to make).

Week 1: "Jesus Saves"-Art journal page based on Jesus and who he is.
Week 2: "Step out of the Boat"-An art journal page on trusting God and his plan for you.
Week 3: "Anchor For My Soul"- Art based on assurance of our Faith.
Week 4: "I exalt Thee"- Art journal page on praise and worship.
Week 5: "Love God, Love People"- Art journal page on loving God and being a light in the world.

The course will be on my Ning site twistedfigures . So head on over to become a member. You will also have your own page on the site where you can upload a profile picture, photos etc. I would love for you to join the site; I just got it up and running, and it could use some love!!

I also have a Facebook Group for the course, that I would love for you to be part of.

I want to also say that this course and group is for anyone!! If you are a believer...Amen!!! If you aren't sure, but are searching for something...awesome!!! If you just want somewhere to go that is a loving, caring and supportive art environment....come and join us!! The motto for this class is simple... "Love God, Love People."

I hope to meet you and get to know you wherever you are on your spiritual journey.

Sincerely,
Shonna

My First Portrait Class!

I am teaching two portrait classes this month called "Whimsical Portraits" and the first one was this past Saturday! I wanted the class to be super small so I could work out the kinks (If any). The class was supposed to be 5 hours, but we ended up staying for about 6 1/2 and still really didn't finish. So, I am going to have change a few things for the next one coming up on June 28. That class is going to have 7 students. I really enjoy teaching how I draw and paint portraits!! These students amazed me. None of them have ever drawn any kind of face before and their end product was so impressive to me. They had so much fun and couldn't believe they were actually drawing something that they liked. I knew they could do it!!

People seem to think that you have to be naturally talented to be able to draw and paint, but I don't feel that way. Just like Math, or anything else, I believe drawing and painting can be taught!! My students proved that!!

Stuck

Here is my latest video "Stuck."

I ended up tweaking her a little bit after I filmed the video. I gave her a necklace, shaded her hair a little more and added some shading around the word "Stuck."
