Reach for your Dreams

“Reach for Your Dreams” is an acrylic painting workshop where we’ll create a beautiful, full-figure angel using some of my favorite techniques.

I’ll guide you step by step through drawing the figure with proper proportions, adding a sense of movement, and building layers of color and texture to tell a soulful story.
We’ll explore how to create depth and texture in the wings, use non-traditional colors to paint radiant skin tones, and develop a glowing underpainting that brings the figure to life.

When we show up and create from the heart, we infuse our work with intention—and set the universe in motion to bring magic into our art and our lives.
