CROWNED
Painting Skin, Flowers, and Form
CLASS OPENS JANUARY 21st!
PRICE INCREASES TO
$69 February 1st
Crowned is a step-by-step oil painting course centered around one complete figurative painting. We move from a loose charcoal sketch through underpainting, limited color, and into full skin tones while preserving energy, softness, and restraint.
This course is about turning a reference into a story. It’s about learning how to interpret form, color, and mood.
You’ll learn how to let parts of the painting remain unresolved on purpose, how to balance structure with looseness, and how to build skin tones and flowers that feel integrated rather than pasted on.
Oil paint is the focus, but the concepts apply to any medium.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Rose Cameron is a lifelong artist, oil painter, and instructor who sees art as a form of dialogue between the artist, the subject, and the viewer. Working primarily in oil and charcoal, she is drawn to portraits, symbolism, and the natural world, but her guiding principle is simple: any subject that inspires is worth exploring.
Now living on a Greek island, Rose balances her own studio practice with teaching, sharing her love of art and creative expression with students worldwide. In addition to her independent courses, she is also an instructor with Kara Bullock Art School, where her classes reach a global audience of artists.
Beyond painting, Rose is the founder of two creative ventures: The Joy Academy, a platform dedicated to personal growth and redefining midlife through coaching and courses, and Eternal Recess, her lifestyle and travel journal that celebrates food, culture, and everyday adventure.
Through her paintings, writing, and teaching, Rose invites others to slow down, look closer, and discover the extraordinary in both art and life.
