In this 2-hour class, you'll bring Moo Deng's adorable face to life with woodburning and watercolors! You will need to have your own woodburner and bring your wood of choice, any size.
With the template design already on your wood and ready to go, we can start burning right away. I'll walk you through my linework techniques, how I add detail lines, and how I add my dots and little sparklies.
For this sweet Moo Deng, you'll need to bring watercolors, gouache, or even watered down acrylics. I, personally, will be using watercolors. I'll walk you through the entire watercolor process I use for getting a smooth gradient of gray to pink. I will also use glitter watercolors for some highlights, along with a white gel pen. These are optional.
Your Moo Deng is going to be so cute. Trust.

HEYO!
I'm Renée- a fun and loud mixed-media pyrography artist, art educator, and small business entrepreneur.
I'm here to teach you no-fluff, high-touch, in-depth workshops that take you through the nitty-gritty details in an authentic way to help you explore, learn, and grow as an artist.
I teach as if we're sitting together and having a conversation. I keep it raw and real. No gatekeeping. No secrets. If I don't know the answer then I'll help you find the answer.
Subjects are approachable, easy to understand, juicy, and specific. We go step by step, building block by building block. I make jokes and TikTok references and laugh and make learning fun.
I deliver information that actually answers your questions.
So jump on in. I'd love to lead you through this woodburning workshop, step by step.
1: MOO DENG. Enough said.
I mean HONESTLY. Just LOOK AT HER. Moo Deng went viral for a reason- she's an absolute unit of cute squishiness, and you have the power to bring her to life!2: Practice simple, crisp linework and details.
Crisp linework is my specialty. I use a variety of nibs to achieve my linework and you'll learn all about it.
3: Watercolors for the win!
I will be using watercolors for Miss Moo, but you can bring gouache or even watered-down acrylics. You'll learn about making the smooth gradient of gray to pink with watercolors. You'll also learn about white highlights, where to put them, WHY I put them where I did, and how to add skin details with the white.
