This self paced online class
I love to mix in a variety of mediums and subject matters throughout my classes to inspire you to move out of your comfort zone. In my longer classes, you will often work through journal spreads, portraits, landscapes, florals, abstracts and more. This class is no exception! My background in art history often seeps into my classes as well as my passion for travel. I love to explore new places or revisit destinations through a visual lens. I hope you enjoy this art adventure! I feel so honored to be a part of Renee Mueller’s beautiful network.
