ONLINE WORKSHOP
The Beyond Likeness Workshop is a live online art class that invites you to embark on a creative journey into the world of expressive portraiture. This class will challenge you to break away from your conventional perceptions of the human face and explore new dimensions of artistic representation using mixed media techniques with acrylic paint.
Playful Mindset
The class encourages a playful and open-minded approach to art. We believe that action and experimentation are the keys to pushing your artistic boundaries and discovering fresh perspectives on portraiture.
Exploration and Experimentation
This class encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and challenge your preconceived notions of facial representation. We will explore various techniques and approaches to create unique and expressive portraits.
Creative Conversation
Throughout the class, there will be ample time for discussion, critique, and the exchange of ideas with your fellow artists. Sharing insights and feedback is an integral part of the creative process.
Multiple Creations
You will have the opportunity to work on both paper and cradled panels, allowing you to experiment and create multiple pieces. This process encourages creative exploration and discovery.

WHAT IS COVERED IN THE BEYOND LIKENESS WORKSHOP?
In this innovative art class, we will delve into various prompts and exercises designed to push the boundaries of how we perceive and portray the human face. Unlike traditional portrait drawing classes, “Beyond Likeness” focuses on deconstructing the face and reconstructing it through layers of mixed media, collage, drawing, and painting. Our goal is not to capture the likeness of a particular face but to express the essence and emotions behind the face.
Via our private Circle Group, you’ll be able to personally interact with Stacy, ask questions and receive feedback!

And of course, participation in the Circle group is voluntary! On the note of asking questions, we do ask that you post questions that are of a more inquisitive, investigative nature – the more specific and direct you are, the better we are able to help!
For questions that are of a more technical nature – for example, questions regarding workshop logistics, payment, etc, you can contact Stacy and her assistant Ferris directly by email: stacyphillipsart@gmail.com.
