Self-Portrait Painting with Ellie Dries

  • Temperance Alley Garden 1931 13th Street Northwest Washington, District of Columbia, 20009 United States (map)

Letting go of perfectionism through self portraiture.

Lean out of perfectionism and into acceptance through painting/drawing yourself. This workshop will guide you through creating a self portrait that reflects your inner world and introduces you to the joys of distorting your own image. I will show examples of artists I love, along with my self portrait paintings and comics to spark ideas of what would make a cathartic and expressive portrait for you.

No drawing or painting experience required. 

I will provide acrylic paint and pens and multiple surface options but you’re welcome to bring your medium of choice.

hosted by Ellie @elliepaintsforyou and Alexis
