Many of these designs have the same basic construction, and then the details really separate them. They aren't all necessarily speedy designs, but most can be done in 5 minutes or less.

Hands on and demo class .  Learn how to use Arty Brush Cakes, the mini rainbow cakes that allow you to blend, highlite- and shadow with a single stroke.  Rebecca is known for her whimsical designs and was recently featured in Illusion magazine.  Her unique technique has taken the face and body art world by storm. this technique will allow you to create amazing faces in a short amount of time.  Definitely a line mover!  Bring a split cake and 3/4 inch brush to class.

I will show how to create fast, easy and gorgeous scenes on half and full faces. Tricks to double-load your sponge to obtain stunning skies, waters, leaves, and jungle-like looks. Then with a few brushstrokes, how to make mountains, beaches, cityscapes and waves. I will also demonstrate how to build a fast half-face background so you can create that perfect spot on the cheek to paint a main subject.This plus magic tricks on how to obtain a clean, slick black outline.

2. CLASS TITLE: Teens and adults
This group is very easy to please, one must simply get away from representative art and explore more into the abstract. So I will show a few quick designs that are perfectly transferable- stunning either on cheeks/eyes, chest/shoulders or arms. We will play with the more feminine, delicate shapes and make jewel-like creations.. then we will plunge into darker zones: gothic, tattoo-like designs perfect for women and men alike. Finally, I will show how to create a very credible tattoo by " killing"  my colors and using water to dilute my paints to give a wonderful shading effect.

3. CLASS TITLE: Brainstorming for intermediate and advanced- plus colors!
Be my guests... You have questions, I will try to answer them through various demonstrations. But what I would like to bring in that course is the vital importance of colors and how to " marry"  them..  There are a very few but important rules to follow so we never miss our
shot. I have my own theory of 80-20, as in using 80% of a family of colors for a piece, combined to its very opposite at 20%, and how to separate, arrange them to give a maximum visual effect. Easy to understand when you see it in action! That plus how to achieve very
thin, clear outlines..  a bit of colorful semi-improv live!
