June 2026: Lady Liberty

June 17 noon CT

Each month, we will do a live art lesson together! Through Zoom, I'll demonstrate the painting. You'll receive a tracer below that can also be used as a coloring sheet for younger students!

Supplies needed:

See my Amazon art store here.

Rectangle canvas 8x10
acrylic paints (or washable paints or any other media you'd like to use such as crayons, colored pencils, markers, oil or chalk pastels, or watercolors) (I'll give you a list of paint colors, but you can use whatever you have!)
paint brushes (Get a variety pack and you should have everything you need!)
graphite or carbon paper and dull pencil to trace
black and white permanent markers (or Posca Paint Markers or Sharpie Creative Markers)
print-outs of the reference photo(s), instructions, and tracer (see below)
water cup, baby wipes, table cloth, smock, paper towels, paper plate for palette, hair dryer

What ages are these lessons for?

The target age is upper elementary through high school. But, younger kids can do it, especially if you have them use a different medium than acrylic paints and the tracers as "coloring pages". (See options above.)

How long will the lessons take?

My goal is one hour, which means I might be moving a bit too fast for many students. If you have a student who will be frustrated, feel rushed, feel behind, etc., it might be better to do the painting during the replay when you can stop and start the video. Or, watch along with me as I demonstrate live, and then paint during the replay!

Can you do the paintings before I teach them each month?

Yes! Use the instructions included below and do the painting on your own if you'd like to. (If you don't see instructions yet, they'll be posted soon.)

**Dates and times are subject to change. Zoom link will be posted at least the week before the live lesson.

Can you teach these lessons to anyone else?

No. Only I am licensed to teach these art lessons--and only to you who are members of MIOH+. The license does not allow you to use the materials/lessons/videos/printables to teach them to anyone else. Thanks!
