Painting 101: A Course for Beginner Artists
Learn the fundamentals of painting
Description
My names Sterling and I will be your instructor for the course!
I was a creative since young, always filming, drawing and painting. When I was in a really tough time in my life my brother handed me a paintbrush and said let yourself let go you don't have to get it "right" on the canvas, "You can mess up and it's okay."
Painting freed me from my own emotional torment. I was in a job I didn't like and healing a broken heart after a divorce.
If you feel like you need a place to focus your energy on something that you won't be judged on. If you feel you need a place you can focus were you can get messy and don't have to be perfect. This class is for you.
Art has helped me heal my self-criticism, my perfectionism and need to be to "get it right". We live in a world with so many rules this is a place where you get to break the rules. I hope whatever you are going through emotionally, mentally or career-wise the themes in this course will support you.
I am a film director and creator. A portrait artist, landscape artist, mural artist, clothing designer and art therapy coach. I am excited to bring all the things I learned from these mediums to you in this course.
Art is about an idea, and an idea is a sensation! The art is never in the canvas or on the sculpture - the art is inside of you!
