By guest artist and instructor: Kelli Bassey also known as Painted Pinup of Paper Moon Entertainment LLC
**Build the skills that make you a stronger, faster & more versatile working artist!**
đź“š **Build Your Basics**
Create a strong collection of go-to designs you can paint confidently, consistently, and quickly.
đź“ť **Menu Matters**
Learn how to build event menus that showcase your strengths, keep your line moving, and still give guests plenty of choices.
🎨 **Color Outside the Lines**
Stop being afraid of unfamiliar requests! Learn how to break down new subjects and confidently tackle designs you haven't practiced 100 times.
✏️ **Become a Well-Rounded Artist**
Butterflies may be your specialty—but what happens when someone asks for a hammerhead shark? Develop the foundational skills that let you paint a little bit of EVERYTHING.
đźš« **Don't Paint Yourself Into a Corner**
Avoid becoming so dependent on a handful of designs or techniques that you're stumped when someone asks for something unexpected.
🌟 **From Fundamentals to Freestyle**
Use strong fundamentals, shape recognition, color, and a little creative problem-solving to turn almost ANY request into a workable face-paint design.
Because the goal isn't to memorize every design—it's to learn how to PAINT.
