Pop Art Self-Portraits

Details

A two-part self-portrait painting class with Madison artist, Brooklyn Doby. Brooklyn is most known for her abstract, pop art style portraits in which she accentuates beauty by breaking up skin tones, using a vibrant color palette, and incorporating 3D elements. During this class we will have loose, open dialogue surrounding art therapy and self-expression. We will learn color mixing, blending techniques, and how to wire a canvas. This is designed to be a safe space, a fun experience, and an exploration of all the features that are uniquely “You.” -Please submit a photo of yourself to be pre-drawn on canvas so it is prepared upon your arrival: b.denae.artistry@gmail.com  17+.
