Hi! I'm Carla.

I'M HERE TO SHARE MY PROCESS

  

I've been running live classes for over 4 years now, and thoroughly enjoy the casual nature of them. I have found that recording the sessions using my typical camera set up for my major tutorials works really well - making the recordings much more informative than the live class. 

With the recording, you see:

  • A close up view of the palette and my colour mixes
  • Close up angle over my shoulder of the painting
  • Direct over head angle of the painting
  • A view of my face as I talk to you directly

You are welcome to check out another live demo recording hosted by Opus last year below while you wait.

As I paint I will be answering questions, sharing my experience no holding back!

Are my demo's helpful?

Here's feedback from the last one...

"Thank you for your tutorial. I found it very informative...especially with regard to 7 layers to create the shadows. Very helpful."

-Wendy
