From Plants to Pets, TVs to tunes, you'll be using this library to create your own unique works of art on Day 3!
Day 3
Karen teaches you how to combine the elements from your Retro Library sheets into your own original works of art!
You can follow Karen's lessons EXACTLY (after all, that's what they're there for!) OR you can use the composition and coloring lessons you've learned to create your very OWN one-of-a-kind pieces!
Days 4 & 5
Karen walks you through step-by-step, how to draw, accurately shade, and color this 1940s Glamour Girl not 1, not 2 but THREE different ways!
At the end of the event, if you follow all the lessons, you'll have completed 10 WHOLE MASTERPIECES!!!
Supplies you'll need...
