Benvenuti Artisti! (Welcome Artists!)
Thank you for choosing to paint the The Essence of Italy with me! My hope is that you will be inspired, blessed and renewed during our time together. Keep this thought from Brene' Brown in mind as you work through each lesson:
"Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis." ~Brene' Brown
As an added bonus, I've included some Italian food recipes that you will find throughout the course. They are from special people I’ve had the privilege to meet while spending time in Italy. They shared them specifically for you!
There are 8 modules that you can paint in any order, but they are laid out in the order I painted them if you wanted to go in order.
Be sure and join our private Facebook group so we can interact with each other! Post your questions there as I I will be jumping on frequently to interact and help. It’s also a safe place to share your paintings.
Each painting video will include the Step by Step demos broken down into 2 or 3 parts. I encourage you to watch through the videos 1st, and then watch again and paint along, pausing as needed.
You will have my finished painting, along with two gridded reference photos to choose from; unfiltered (which is the regular photograph), and filtered (which is altered in Photoshop to look more painterly and break down basic shapes). Click on these to enlarge.
Scegli sempre la gioia! (Always choose joy!)
