Mixed Media Portrait Lesson
You can do it! I believe in you.
In this expressive portrait lesson, gain inspiration from the river. What does the river teach you? How do you feel being near the river? What medicine can you gain from it? The fresh, flowing water moves its way around the rocks, moving downward, releasing fears, and bringing healing.
Learn step by step how to create your own beautiful portrait inspired by the river in this gentle lesson.
This lesson was originally a part of Life Book 2022.
