The Course
During this live demonstration, renowned artist Yelena Lamm will guide you through her creative process, from the initial sketch to the final flourish.
What you will learn
You know, when I first scheduled this demonstration, my goal was to build a bridge between the awe-inspiring world of art and those just starting their journey. It's not just about watching paint dry; it's about igniting that spark of creativity within you.
With each brushstroke, you’ll not only watch a cow come to life on canvas but also develop the skills that form the foundation of any great artwork. You’ll see, by the end of this, you’ll have a solid understanding of painting that's both approachable and incredibly rewarding.
