3/11/2023

Hey Fun Fab Drawing Club Member!! 

I can't believe Halloween is over, but I'm super excited to just enjoy fall and work our way into the BIG holidays together!! 

via GIPHY

This week there's no new lesson because we've got Brain Stretches & Sketches coming up this Friday on 11/10. 

During that LIVE art along, we'll be working on creating some holiday cards together in the style of Anne Keenan Higgins. 

If you're not familiar with her work, you've GOT to check her out. She does the most adorable illustrations of figures.

​I've been obsessed with them forever!!

Here's a link to her website so you can check out her portfolio.

​She's also published 3 gorgeous books (I've got them ALL!): Ladies Who Drink, Fictionally Fabulous: The Characters Who Created the Looks We Love, and Le Cinema Francais.

Anne's adorable drawings make the BEST references to get you thinking creatively. 

If you weren't in the Fun Fab Drawing Club last year at Christmas time, you may have missed some awesome lessons on how to create illustrations for holiday cards in the style of Anne Keenan Higgins. ​

Since we'll be trying to learn from and emulate her style on Friday during Brain Sketches & Stretches LIVE, you might want to check these lessons out (or revisit them, even if you did them last year!!).

​They're seriously SO much fun!!

What Fans Are Saying

Karen, you are absolutely fabulous! You make me feel like I can draw anything. I have recently retired and finally have the time to do some of the art that I have loved since I was in school. I am really at the beginning of my art journey and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all you do.

​-Jill Y.

I ordered your Fun Fab Faces book and loved it! I was having a little trouble getting the noses I wanted and now it's easy! Also, I love how you stressed how important having the three tones in your drawing is. Thanks a bunch!

-Donna L.

Thank you Karen! I never though I could do faces. You broke it down so it was understandable! And I love your book! I got it yesterday! Can't wait to start practicing! It's so much fun!!!!!

​-Debbie M.

Thank you for the encouragement to get back into my drawing and painting. After being away for 35 years.  THANK YOU.

- Teresa S.
