I have been working toward this dream for several months now and I can’t wait to share it with you! My very first art course is a guided painting of Rosie the Riveter.
I picked Rosie the Riveter as the subject for this art course because I felt like there’s never been a better time to hear “We Can Do It!” With everything going on, I found myself getting burnt out by all the overwhelming details of life and I figured that someone else must be feeling like I do now. That’s why making time for art is so important– it’s a chance to unwind and let your creativity nourish your soul.
Rosie the Riveter also seemed like the perfect character for the present. This poster was based on the real women of World War II who had a “can-do” spirit and did what was necessary for the war effort so that they could bring their boys home. These women were strong, dedicated, and vibrant. I see all these qualities when I look at this poster and I wanted to paint my own version.
What the Course Includes:
This course will walk you through a history of the Rosie the Riveter image and the women who inspired it. We’ll also be covering color theory, so that you can choose your own colors to create your own Rosie the Riveter. Next, we’ll have a guided, step-by-step video for painting your own Rosie the Riveter. I haven’t sped up the video at all, so you’ll get a real-time look at how to paint Rosie from start to finish.
The class kicks off July 17th with a special, live-streamed launch party.
To celebrate 4th of July, I’m having a special pre-sale so that you can get Find Your Inner Rosie at 25% off!

For this course, I decided it would be fun to dress as Rosie the Riveter. While getting ready to film my art course, I filmed this time lapse of the process:
