I’m very excited to announce that I have TWO webinars coming up next week on the topic of realistic jewelry, one of my favorite things to paint!! Each one will cover different topics and different jewelry pieces. The first one on Monday will be available free through FacePaint.com, but you do have to register to be a part of it! The second webinar on Thursday is for the FAM club for the Facade Academy in the UK! In order to watch this one, you must be a registered member of the FAM club! Read below for more info and links to register for both!
Monday, September 16 – Facepaint.com Live Webinar
On Monday, September 16, 2024 at 5:30 PM EST Gretchen will be doing a live webinar via Zoom and/or Facebook Live! This is a free webinar, but you do need to sign up to get the link! Click here to register for this free webinar and interact with us live! In THIS webinar for FacePaint.com viewers, Gretchen will walk you step by step through some realistic gemstones, and turn them into jewelry that pops right off the skin! While painting a realistic gemstone, Gretchen will demonstrate realistic lighting and shadow placement, and as she turns the gemstone into a piece of jewelry, she will help you to identify some of the most common mistakes people make when painting realistic jewelry. Gretchen will walk you through the gem itself, a setting, and a chain to turn it into a piece of jewelry, and how to create a realistic drop shadow underneath. Time permitting, Gretchen will also create a decolletage design while demonstrating some tools and tricks that help to paint gems, lace and beads/pearls more quickly!
Thursday, Sept 19 – FAM Club for Facade Academy Webinar
On Thursday, September 19th, 2024 Gretchen will be a guest instructor for the FAM Club by Facade Academy, based in the UK! This webinar will be live via Zoom at 8:00 PM UK time (2:00 PM CDT). In order to participate in this webinar, you must be a subscribing member of the FAM Club! Click here to find out more about the FAM club and how to join! In this special webinar tailored for FAM Club members, Gretchen will be applying the lighting and shadow principles that FAM club members have already been learning in September to jewelry designs. She will be combining these principles with the tools that face painters have on hand to create realistic designs that can be done quickly on-the-job, including a wrist/cuff design that incorporates a gem, a decolletage design that includes stones and different bead shapes, and time permitting, a forehead/tiara design that uses other speed enhancing tricks and tools!
