Hello Autumn

Whimsical Faces and Mixed Media

We introduce this amazing season with an awesome workshop of whimsical faces and mixed media techniques! With gorgeous colors and a treasure of techniques to build and expand your whimsical girls, you're sure to feel the coolness and ease of creativity.


In this first, fun, easy and stress free project you’ll learn proportions of a whimsical face and facial features. With line drawing, washi tape and colored pencils we’ll make our first whimsy girl.

In this lesson I show you how I use shading on my line drawings to create volume and depth. We’ll transform our face into a whimsy fairy with a pixie cut.

Create a whimsical face, dress her with a crown made out of leaves and add interest by paying attention to line work and shading. We’ll add beautiful, distressed autumn colouring to make her complete!

Bonus Project: Autumn at Sea

Before starting the actual project in lesson 1, I demoed how I draw and shade a whimsical face on a separate page in my art journal. In this bonus lesson I go back to this demo page and finish the page with watercolours in a different colour scheme.

  • develop line drawing skills to draw whimsical faces and features
  • how to create volume and depth through shading
  • how to add simple details to make your art “pop!”

Marielle Stolp

Hi there! My name is Mariëlle Stolp. I live in the Netherlands with my daughters, my amazingly supportive husband and two naughty cats that are always trying to steal my supplies and ruin my attempts at filming tutorials. If weather permits I love to take a walk on the nearby beach and collect seashells with my youngest. And if not, I am more than happy to stay in and fill my journals with dreamy, boho-style or fairy-tale girls. I have three beautiful and bright daughters, so cute, giggly and sweet inspiration is always around. I love to share that with you!
