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

Let's Get Started!
Go to one of the weeks experiences or choose from the hours of bonus videos I created for you.
A module will be released once a week over the next 8 weeks, however, they will be available for you to watch at your convenience!
Be sure and join our private Facebook group so we can interact with each other! Post your questions here 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.
Each week you’ll find extra little surprises like skill booster videos, helpful hints, Italian recipes, and more!
Scegli sempre la gioia! (Always choose joy!)
