I am super excited to announce that I am going to be a part of the Let’s Face It – 2023 Team!
I first taught on Let’s Face It in 2016 and it is one of my all time favourite year long art courses. Let’s Face It is a course created and hosted by Kara Bullock. It is for anyone that wants to practice creating portraits and figurative art.
Each week in 2023, you will receive one new lesson from one of the fabulous artists! These lessons are created to inspire you and expose you to different ways of drawing/painting the face and figure. We all know that there is not a one size fits all way to learn. Together, we want to share with you our strategies, tips, and techniques that we use in order to create our portrait and figurative artwork hoping you will find something that works for you to help you continue on your journey of creating portraits.
I will be teaching the two figure lessons below using soft pastels. This is a wonderful and expressive media to use and a joy to create with. It has a spontaneity that you will fall in love with 🙂

I use acrylics mostly, but also love soft pastels. Id love to be a part of LFI next year!
I go through phases. Acrylic paints were my absolute favourite for a long time as a beginner. Then I loved (and still do!) watercolours but recently soft pastels have stolen my heart and I add them to all my projects now ♡♡♡
I like watercolors and acrylic inks.
It’s difficult to choose just 1 medium when I have so many favourites, but my main favourite mixed mediums are acrylic paint, watercolour and markers. Would love this opportunity to win a spot… thank you, Toni!
Oooo – how to choose….I love them all – combining mediums and making rich textures and layers is wonderful. One medium that I’ve been wanting to but haven’t really tried is soft pastels and I’ve recently purchased a small set to try my hand at those. I love the buttery soft feel they have when applying to the paper and I want to expand my understanding and use of those.
Thank you so much for this opportunity to perhaps win a spot. It’s a course I’d very much like to participate in as I struggle with portraits and figurative drawing.
The mediums I work with most are oils and gold leafing, but I am excited about the things I have been learning from you about watercolors in “Uncovered”.
Oeh that’s my problem, I like them all. But at this moment I do a lot with charcoal and acrylics so for now I am calling that my favorits.
I am currently in love with watercolors. But open to trying other mediums. Would like to try warm colors, orange, red, yellow. I usually choose violets and blues.
I like acrylic’s for the underpainting and then oil paints, BUT am interested to learn about new mediums
I am struggling to find one favourite. I love watercolours, acrylics, neocolor iis, inks … It changes depending on what I am doing and the mood I am in!

I mostly paint in acrylics and oils with cold wax,and have used encaustics a lot on the past. I’ve started drawing loosely in charcoals and would love to move into pastels in a loose contemporary way, to mix in with these charcoals.
I am trying out many mediums, but recently have had fun with all things dark! Using charcoal powder, charcoal and carbon pencils, creating highlights by erasing or by adding white paint and also adding a splash of colour either in the background or on the subject.
I love mixed media, torn paper and acrylics, and whatever is within reach at the time.
I enjoy working with any water based medium, love the splash zone 😁

My favorite mediums are acrylic paint and markers. I’ve been experimenting with a bit of resin to enhance parts of my acrylic paintings and it’s really sharp!

To be honest I’m still dabbling in every medium that comes along! I feel I’m still finding my way and haven’t found my ‘style’ yet. I think I’m leaning towards acrylics but still have so much to learn! I love Let’s Face It! It’s just perfect for someone like me who wants to try lots of different mediums and techniques and with so many brilliant teachers/artists to learn from.
I haven’t met an art material I didn’t like, lol! I enjoy acrylic for its accessibility; I love oils for their yummy lushness and I love watercolour for its delicate mysteries. Thank you for this opportunity, and look forwards to learning from you💖
I love acrylics the most!!
I love learning pastels from you!!
New artist, working in oils for now. I also work in stained glass and fabric
I actually love all the mediums but my favorite is watercolor right now!! I’m so glad your teaching again!
I love using acrylic paints and glazing mediums. Clean up is so simple and I can put my extra paint into journals.
I just love working with watercolours but like the flexibility of acrylics too. I paint flowers so watercolours are great for conveying the fragility of the blooms.
Anything that’s water soluble and I’m starting to like acrylics again
I love watercolor, chalk&oil pastel , but I love trying and learning new techniques.
I love charcoal and watercolors, as well as mixed media.
I find something incredibly mindful about putting paint, any type onto a brush and seeing where I end up.
Right now I am loving watercolor and watercolor pencil and graphite. But I also love creating with acrylic ink and acrylic paint.
I love watercolor, pastel chalks, collage, charcoal, and ink. I love using them all and learning new techniques.
Rediscovered watercolours recently so am really enjoying those at the moment especially portraits
M&M’s! (Mixed Media) I use all mediums … everything everywhere … except oil paint. I’m way to clumsy to use oils. Maybe one day. But, watercolour, gouache, tombows, ink (lots of ink) acrylic paint, pastels of all types (even oil), colour pencils. You name it, I love it. Oh, and charcoal … lots and lots of charcoal smudging! It’s all such an endless and amazing journey. Thank you, Toni … learn so much from you. Some of my favourite architectural paintings are taught by you … and faces, of course.
I love all mediums. I’m excited you’re teaching again. I love the female figure and body work. I have learned a lot from you.
I love using mixed media and watercolors.
I’m still learning, but I do mostly mixed media and acrylics.
I am so very excited that I have to sit on my hands to keep from waving them in the air! I am in love with mixed media and acrylic. However, I am open to all mediums. Taking this course will expand my knowledge in other mediums. Insert excitement again!
at the moment i am loving simple drawings, gestures with charcoal and pan pastel, really loving how an image can just appear. Thank you Toni 🙂
I love mixed media and use acrylics and watercolor mostly.
Favorite mediums? The messier the better, love charcoal and my trusty stabilo.

My favorite child….I mean medium 😂…what day is it?😂😂😂💕
I lean towards mixed media with acrylic, watercolor, ink and soft pastels.
I can’t wait to dig into a set of pan pastels I just received.
Acrylics and book pages are my two favorite things!
Hi Toni,
I love acrylics in combination with lines (charcoal, stabilo all, China marker,…) and watercolours, because they are easy to take with me, when I leave the house…. But I’m always open for new mediums and art supplies.. And the mix of them…..
👩🏼🎨🎨🖌️
I mostly use acrylic and soft pastels. I dabble a bit in charcoal.
I’m a watercolour girl! Love adding some pastel pencil and collage too.

Acrylics is my go to, probably because I am so familiar with it and I love painting in multiple layers. It’s like an old friend. 🙂
Inks, pastels, ink pens, graphite
I go through phases where I am caught up exclusively in one medium. Other times it’s a party and everyone is invited!!
I enjoy watercolor, ink, acrylic, and fabrics.
I look forward to your classes. I love mixed media with some collage elements.
Hi Toni, I’ve wanted to learn how to use soft pastels for a while and your lessons look great. Most of my experience is with acrylic paint, air-dry clay, alcohol ink, I also have limited experience with watercolor but want to get more experience. There is honestly no art medium I wouldn’t love to learn.
I love working with a variety of media but my favourite is watercolour for its exquisite freshness.
I’m loving watercolors right at the moment but I really like exploring different mediums. And mixed media when working in my journals.
My go to medium was always acrylic. In the past year I have begun to dabble in graphite, charcoal, pastel and watercolor. The only medium which continues to intimidate me is oil, although it tempt me. This will be my 8th year of LFI.
I mostly work digitally and I always love to figure out how to use and transfer traditional styles, techniques and mediums into digital art.
I like to have different supplies around me, like acrylic, ink, pastels, watercolor… it’s more fun to decide while creating.
Your lessons above look great, I would be thrilled to take part!
I love your work and I enjoy all mediums. I haven’t met a medium I didn’t like yet!
My favorite is watercolor. I love to watch it flow and any tension I have flows away with it. I have taken several of your class and you introduced me to oil sticks and I enjoy them also. Thanks for that!
I work in pastel, pencil and collage.
Hello! I absolutely love your work and have taken several workshops where you were a guest teacher. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art! I love the freedom of pastels, the flow of inks and watercolors and working with mixed media on hot press with collage and acrylics.
I love charcoal the most but your lessons above look AMAZING!
I work mostly with acryl and charcoal, but lately I crosshatch with bic ballpoint or graphite 😃
Hi Toni,
As a new artist since the pandemic started, I have tried everything in Let’s Face It classes and on my own, and I have found that I love the peacefulness and freedom and joy I get from watercolors! Everyone says watercolors are the hardest medium, but I find they fit my nature and movements and color mixing. I just tried pastels with water and acrylics medium, and that was great fun also. I have had some success with water- soluble oils and inks, and less success with acrylics, but keep coming back to watercolors!
I love using all kinds of medium to do collage. Thank you Toni.
Hi Toni. I like acrylic paints and work in older childrens books. (1960-1980) the paper quality is great.
I usually use acrylics, but am loving mixed media and using a bit of this and that. I’m excited to learn from you!
So many supplies! So much to love! I work a lot with acrylic paints and inks. Cheers!
Hi there!
I’m originaly a watercolor girl, dabbled at oils long ago.
The last few years, I’ ve see the value of acrylics also
watercolor is a calm medium as is oil. Acrylic seems energetic to me as it dries fast.
I love to explore new mediums. watercolor pencil. I have a few pastels but am lost with them. They are beautiful when done well.
Heavy body acrylics and collage fodder are my most favorite. At the moment. 😊 Thank you for the chance!!!
I love using acrylics because I can’t wait for layers to dry (keep away from oils!), and I’m a control freak (so not so great with watercolours). But I love layering with fabrics and papers I’ve collected on my travels and doing fine details with paint markers.
I really have never met an art supply I didn’t like… but my favorite are inks and watercolors.
I love working with any medium I can get my hands on, the richness of oils, the textures of pastels…. love them all💕
I love oils, acrylics and water color. Looking forward to Lets Face It 2023
Acrylics, inks, fluid acrylics, pencil, charcoal, pastels, colored pencils, collage, neos

I started out with acrylics and always wanted to try watercolors but was intimidated , however, after many years, I decided to try, and fell in love with them.

Dear Toni
I love charcoal, graphite and acrylics. I d love to know more about soft pastels but still not sure how to use them.
I love gouache for its’ ability to be opaque or more transparent with more water. It helps me to develop depth in layering.
Hi Toni, oh my word, your sessions look amazing! My favorite medium is soft pastel but I am not that experienced with it. I also enjoy watercolor and acrylics. I will go check out your Facebook page.
Thanks!
Linda
I may have to say mixed media, as I am yet to find my favorite medium. I am struggling to find my way, vibe, and style. I have found a spark in pouring paints and alcohol inks having little control over them but unfortunately, I no longer have the space to use them. I am drawn to the messy, raw types of mediums that give expression while taking their own path, yet I can’t find myself within the use of them. Maybe I need more practice, guidance, and self-awareness to break the barrier.
Hello Toni !
My favorite choice of medium has been watercolor for the last year. I also love acrylics when I am painting larger than 12×12 . I am in love with blues and teals and purples in all mediums. all substrates are good to use.
I enjoy soft pastel, pastel pencils and watercolor most. No messy brushes to have to clean! And it’s all very portable!
Watercolor and soft pastels. Hoping to join in on the fun!
Hi Toni, watercolor is my preferred media. I have done charcoal, mixed media collage, pan pastels, color pencils, and acrylics. I would love to try pastels and oil. I have learned and enjoyed so much from your classes and would love to join this course.
I love all things mixed media, but my absolute favourite right now is the leather bound handmade journal that my 15yo son bought for me at the Salamanca Markets (Tasmania). The cover is very Game of Thrones-ish and the pages are individually hand crafted. It is just beautiful and his gift brought tears to my eyes 💙
MY MOST FAVORITE ART MEDIUM IS ALWAYS THE ONE I AM USING IN A CLASS TAUGHT BY YOU!!!! XO, FRANNIE
Hi Toni, my favourite would have to be watercolours but I’m so eager to learn with many more mediums.
Do you ever work with PanPastels?

I love charcoal and lately ink….and “stuff”….
My favorite art supplies – oh so many, lets see if I can narrow it down, Maribu Art crayons, so versatile; nuvo drops and stickles, (can save almost anything I don’t like);
elegant writer activated with water (amazing results); graphite, gesso, matt medium, old credit cards, posca pens, spray bottle, stabillo all (I almost always use these), pan pastels, and distress oxide inks (just discovering how wonderful and unique the results can be), stencils and stamps (to add extra wow), and of course, good acrylics, watercolors, and paper, especially OLD paper. Fine liners, gel pens, colored pencils, and watercolor pencils. Whew I could go on and on but these came to mind first.
I’m a m8xed media artist, and my favorite is texture! Endless possibilities!
I am most comfortable with acrylics but I venturing in oils. Because of recent health issues I opted to purchase snd use water mixable oils. So far things have been going well…definitely a learning curve.

Toni,
I’ve been teaching myself watercolor over the last 1 1/2 years and have a yearning to learn pastels next. Thanks for all of your instruction and inspiration.
Hi Toni, love all medium honestly, but in love with acrylic and watercolor. Very interested in pastels also…
I love to work with acrylics, pastels and watercolors but I will try any medium that I can.
So far I haven’t met a media I don’t like😊 Currently I am enjoying acrylics and mixed media with collage. And I always have a sketchbook going with watercolor and ink for travel journaling.
Red and orange for a fierce woman. Probably with a hint of gold 😊
Anything g I can get my hands on!
I love to use watercolours and acrylics, but I’m always ready to learn 😊
Thanks so much for this opportunity! I love working with charcoal, acrylics, pencils ..well just about everything!
I’m happy to learn to use any medium, but my favouite would be watercolours.
Hard to choose! I guess watercolour in combination with (pan)pastel is my favorite atm. Thanks for the chance to win a spot!
I love working with charcoal, graphite and watercolor. I am still trying to figure out soft pastels, so a lesson in that may help:)
I love your work Toni!! hoping I can win the giveaway! it would be so amazing! Art is part of my mental health therapy!!
I wish I could decide! If I had to pick just one it would probably be something to draw with as I seem to always come back to drawing despite my curiosity for everything else.
I enjoy all mediums but at the moment, I guess charcoal is my fav followed by acrylics. Thanks for the chance, Toni!
I love acrylic gouache paints. I’ve recently discovered, thanks to my class with Toni, that it is fascinating to use this medium on tan mixed media paper. I love this look and am doing alot of ot right now. Thanks Toni.
I love the random nature of watercolors most I think!
I love acrylics, from fluid to heavy bodied. I dabbled briefly in encaustic too. Looking forward to LFI23!
I like to use watercolor,charcoal,graphite. This course is so special I would be so happy to win a spot on it…
I generally work in acrylics since they are so forgiving.
Thanks Toni for this opportunity. I love mixed media, so I start with acrylic or gouache en add all kinds of markers, crayons, pencils or pastel if possible.
I love mixed media. I favor watercolors and soft pastels. I’m wanting to get back into oil painting. Love ❤️ your classes, I have taken many. Thank you for this opportunity as I’m on disability now and funds are squeaky tight.
I like acrylics and gesso in any form, light, white, black, heavy, clear and fluffy. I use some watercolors and also collage. Thank you for this opportunity.
My favorite medium is watercolor. I have played with other mediums and they all give great results, but I do love the softness that watercolor brings.
I am truly a beginner, and so have only used watercolors. I love them, but am very intrigued by mixed media art, and would love to go there next.
Hi Toni, I love watercolor and trying all mix media ( stencil-acrylic-pencil and paper)It is fun to see what creates before you. As a full time caregiver rediscovering art has been very therapeutic on so many levels. Some of my favorite colors used here with the Blues and purples. I also love to add a pop of bright yellow as an accent color when using Blue/Purple. I love all art you create and the pottery is beautiful. Thank you for the giveaway. 💗 Blessings Annie
Thank you Toni for the opportunity to win a spot in LFI 2023. My favorite medium is aquarel, but since I am fan of mixed media I love to combine them with pencils, inks or pastels.
I love working in soft pastels, charcoal and pencil. I also like oils and oil sticks.
I like to use graphite pencils, fine-line ink pens like Pigma, and watercolors.
My favourite has been long been watercolours, but I’ve been trying out acrylics more and more and it’s been so much fun! I was always afraid to use them, but I got over the ‘fear’ and now enjoy both watercolours and acrylics thoroughly.
I love to use a variety of mediums, especially fascinated with fluids and pastels!
I’m most comfortable with acrylics , charcoal and inks. Would love to get better with watercolors.
I love mixed media.. paint, papers, pastels..so much fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
Charcoal, soft pastels, and oil pastels are my favorite favorite media. It is the texture of the three that love most.
I really like using mixed media with collage and acrylic paints, colouring pencils, stamps, stencils ….. anything I can get really!
I love the fluidity of watercolor and the transparency. Also like to work with mixed media. Have not had the pleasure of working with pastels to date but looking forward to doing this.
I love all media’s but I tend to use acrylic or watercolor when doing portraits.
Acrylics and acrylic inks are my favorite.

I love working in watercolours and acrylic, but I also love working in mixed media with collating, neocolours and inks. Thanks for this opportunity, Toni!
Toni, Through some of your classes, I learned to love watercolors. Then I began working with my six year granddaughter and she has already won a spot in the school district wide art show. I was able to be a long term art teacher substitute teacher for the middle school I retired from and used some of your techniques to help the students paint portraits of the school. I love these art lessons. Faces have been my strength since I was a child.
Ahh, do we have to pick one?!! I’ll go with dry mediums, graphite, charcoal, pastels. Thanks for the opportunity.
It has been quite awhile since I have drawn portraits and faces and have just recently returned to creating. What my favourite mediums to use are intense inks and neocolours, but I would love to learn other mediums.
After a hesitant start, Charcoal has become my favourite medium, but I am flighty, so perhaps next week this will change!
I am a true mixed media lover. Collage, acrylics, water soluble crayons and water soluble pencils are my “go to” supplies. I would love to try oils but for some reason they intimidate me!
I like watercolours and pencils at the moment.
Watercolour is my favourite medium, I love the layers possible.
I started with watercolor. I like mixed media too.
Watercolor, charcoal graphite, panpastel/chalk pastel. I really can’t pick a favorite. I love to use them all together but if I had to choose it would be graphite.
Watercolor is my first love but recently I have been enjoying mixed media so much. I love using old papers, altered papers and beautiful florals in my work. I’m a huge fan of your work!!
I love using old papers, paint collage …anything mixed media
Been dabbling in acrylic, but watercolors are still my favorite. Would love to learn more about pan pastels as well.
Watercolours with pastel pencils are my current favourites.
Watercolor is my first passion, but I love mixed media….. layering papers, stencils, mercy a coat of watercolor ground, then drawing with ink, adding watercolor, then a few pieces of molded clay on top.
I absolutely love working with watercolour. So unpredictable yet so beautiful!
I love to dabble with all mediums. There are too many amazing mediums available to only stick to one. I really love to add some collage elements to the mix as well.
Love using pastels in my zoom live life draws but yet still to master it as find them difficult. Love your work and inspiration especially in the ceramics
I love acrylic as it’s what I learnt to use first, it’s versatile and easy to use. However, I’ve started to dabble with watercolor and love how it ‘moves’!
I began painting with watercolours. Recently I have discovered acrylics and I am beyond thrilled.
Watercolours, for sure! 🥰
Like a lot of people, I love so many. My current favourite is watercolour and scratchy pens, but I have some soft pastels that seem nice, but I feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing with them yet… lol! Thank you so much for the chance to win… <3

Hi Toni – I love mixed media. But over all my favourites at the moment are watercolour and acrylics. I’m sorry I can’t narrow it down to one, it would be like asking which leg do I like the most my left or right 🙂
When I was in high school art classes I felt drawn to figures and seemed to have a hint of success at it. Funny, I’ve not tried them for so many years. This caught my interest so much! I have been using acrylics, mixed media, colored pencil. I used to love using graphite to smudge marks. I am frightened of pastel and fascinated at the same time.
I love so many mediums..my art room looks like an episode of hoarders! My fav’s so far in my art journey are graphite, charcoal, toned paper, acrylics, alcohol markers(♥️/😈relationship 😆), inks for color & calligraphy, & watercolors. I love the look of pastels so I have a few pan pastels & random soft pastels…I just need some classes to teach me! HINT! HINT!😉😉 My Ultimate Art goal is to make my own art journal with all the beautiful things I’ve procured over many years.
My favourite is acrylic inks but I’m also loving watercolour at the moment and discovering how to use graphite – it’s really beautiful 💜 So glad you’re part of LFI. I love everything you create, Toni.
