Vintage Valentine
Every course focuses on one technique and takes you from first stroke to finished piece.
A romantic, vintage-styled portrait from start to finish. This course covers pale skin tones, painterly hair, quick portrait drawing, vintage photo effects, watercolor-style roses, shiny silk fabric, and bringing it all together into a cohesive piece. Lisa teaches mixed media techniques that give colored pencil work the look of an old photograph brought to life.
Eight modules take you through every element of the illustration, from setting the mood with paper and style choices to the final vintage artifacts and subject separation that make the finished piece feel like a timeless work of art.

- Set the mood with paper choice, style, and mixed media setup

- Draw quick portrait sketches with light, shadow, and dark hair
