Friday- Sunday 10-4pm

Mirror study started as a simple challenge to myself and became one of my most powerful learning tools. In this class I will share my approach in:

Learning by doing, painting with “no mistakes”, testing new mediums in a controlled setting, world building, making and breaking rules, and some very basic rendering, proportion and color theory. I will break down the very basics like setting up a paint palette, how to read the key on your paint tube, as well as show you a variety of layer building ideas and tools to open up your paints potential and nurture an environment where you can make confident marks and bold decisions.

My studio is located at 215 SE Morrison st, Portland, OR. Right at the foot of the Morrison bridge.

I will provide everything you need to complete your self study. We will be working in a limited pallet, I will be teaching with professional quality acrylic paints and colored pencils. Feel free to bring anything you’d like to work with knowing that I will be teaching you with tools I am most familiar with.

Live demos, group discussion, one on one feedback, and independent work time in my studio.

By the end of our 3 days together you will leave the studio with your completed 9×12 Self Portrait.

This class has been so fun to incorporate into my creative practice and I can’t wait for the experience you’ll gain from taking it to influence your approach in painting for yourself.

zine making is giving me so much energy, these mini zines are made with a single sheet of 8.5×11 paper, folded to make 6 pages and a front and back cover. you will get your fun little book and a monthly letter from me, this has become somewhat of a journal entry/ news letter and has a very personal touch to it. if you’re wanting the live updates on me, my life and a window into the most early creative sprouts in my mind, this will grant you access to them. Sent to you in a stamped envelope each month.

Every month I release a new enamel pin, this is how you automatically receive them as they are released. Designs for each month will be posted on instagram and voted on, losing design will carry over to the next month.

I have set up a studio pick up option for those of you in the Portland area and want to swing by the studio monthly or periodically and wave the shipping fee. send me an email to coordinate at stay.awake435@gmail.com

This will never be reproduced. All of them are a little different, none of them are perfect. Out of the 90 attempts I made, these are what met my standards of registration and print quality.
