“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf
As humans, we all have a natural desire to CREATE and there’s so much joy in that.
Let’s get back to our inner artist, shall we?
Have you ever heard people say...
“Practice makes perfect”
“Just work harder at it”
“You either have talent or you don’t”
OKAY REALLY THOUGH… Who are these people that you’re listening to?
LET ME KNOW IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR
You used to love drawing and painting
but now fall into the “I can’t draw” trap
Struggle with getting the correct proportions when drawing
Spend hours drawing, only to run out of space or have it totally off-center
Want to have a new creative hobby but don’t know where to start
Collect art supplies but don’t know how to use them so they just collect dust
Want to make side income doing something creative and fun!
I know how frustrating all this is because I've been there too!
Dianuh Aerin here...
For years I was a closet artist. I loved drawing and painting, but was too scared to show anyone my work. In fact, I created a secret blog where I posted my artwork, which eventually led to me to accidentally starting a creative business. More on this later, but first…
I need to get this off my chest.
I’m sick of hearing people apologize for being curious about their creativity.
Whenever I hear people say, “I’d love to have a creative hobby, but I’m not really an artist.”
This breaks my heart, because the truth is, EVERYONE has the ability to be creative.
YOU have an inner artist that is just dying to come out.
It’s time to let that part of you shine TODAY.
LISTEN, I SEE YOU.
• YOU’RE A LEFT-BRAINED PROFESSIONAL
Who is craving to dive into their creative side after your 9 to 5 shift.
• YOU’RE A JUGGLING MAMA
Who doesn’t have a lot of extra time outside of chasing after the kiddos. Self care? What’s that?
• YOU’RE A BUSY PERSON WITH PLACES TO GO
But you’re yearning for a creative outlet that is therapeutic and fun.
• YOU’RE A HOBBYIST WITH A DREAM
Who wants to improve their skills and maybe even make a side income doing what you love!
If you’re with me here, then I am SO excited to pass along my process driven approach when it comes to painting.
… No confusing or abstract techniques
… No need to guess on how to get better
It is time
to STOP redoing your sketch over and over again… Instead, I want you to be efficient with your precious time and see REAL results each time you paint.
ALL THE WHILE HAVING FUN IN THE PROCESS
because that’s what it’s really all about!

HERE’S AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU’LL GET
MODULE 0: INTRODUCTION + THE SFC METHOD
Before we dive into our art lessons, let’s go over your sketching tools and painting supplies!
You don’t have to buy a bunch of tools and try out different brands because I’ve done all that for you! I’ve been painting for 10+ years and professionally for 7+ years and trust me, the listed tools on my supply list are ALL that you need. Module 0 also includes drawing the figure using our SFC method, sketching worksheets, watercolor palette guide, and an invitation to our exclusive Facebook group!
MODULE 1: WATERCOLOR BASICS
Never played with watercolor before? No problem!
In this module, I’ll teach you how to best prep your palette, organize your colors and get you ready for painting. We’ll also go over how to paint skin tone! After painting thousands of people, trust me when I say that I’ve painted all types of skin tones. And now, I’ll teach you how to get every shade right so you feel confident painting people.
MODULE 2: FIGURE DRAWING
The sketch before the painting process can really make or break the final artwork, so let’s make sure we understand the figure.
We’ll cover everything from how to position the figure on our paper, differences between male and female figures as well as the proportions for adults, babies, and kids. We’ll also cover different articles of clothing and how to draw the outfit in a way that looks natural on the form. We’ll go over important details like drawing hands, feet, glasses and beards. This module alone is well worth the investment!
MODULE 3: WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT
Now that we have your sketch down, we’ll move onto my favorite part - adding watercolor!
In this module, we will go over skin tone in-depth and learn to add dimension to the body. We’ll also cover how to paint different types of hairstyles as well as facial hair. Finally, I’ll teach you how to paint different types of clothing, how to add natural folds/creases and add contrast so the painting pops out of the page!
AND THE FUN CONTINUES
BONUS: PAINTING WHITE CLOTHING
One of the questions I get asked the most is “How do you paint white clothing?”
Many portraits I paint are for weddings so I’ve learned all the tricks when it comes to painting white clothing on brides. In this bonus module, I’ll walk you step-by-step on how to paint a wedding dress and get all those impeccable details!

BUT WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE PRIOR DRAWING EXPERIENCE?

How is it different from your portrait class in Watercolor Bootcamp?
The lesson in Watercolor Bootcamp only covered the basics.

Do you provide any refunds?
Due to the digital nature of an online course, we do not offer refunds. All sales are final and nonrefundable.
More than meets the eye:
Portraits make incredible gifts for family & friends and they’ll feel so special receiving it!
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL…
they’re also a great way to make some CASH.
Wouldn’t it be so cool to gain a new skill that makes people happy & make some profit from it? It’s a win-win.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi I’m Dianuh!
I’m the watercolor artist and owner of Chasing Linen.
I began my creative business in 2013 and have since grown my team of artists under Chasing Linen. Each year, we paint thousands of people through custom watercolor portraits and live art events. We’ve been able to work with incredible companies like Google, Nordstrom, Alaska Airlines and more. It’s wild to think that I used to be a “closet artist” and now I have a multiple six-figure art business - say what?!
That’s my story in a nutshell and I share it with you because I want you to know what a huge impact art can have in your life. You don’t have to make a professional career out of it like I did (or you totally can) but pressing into your inner artist can unlock the massive creative potential you have inside of you.
After painting thousands of people through live art events and custom portrait projects, I’ve learned to simplify and streamline the process. I have a team of artists that I’ve trained and now, you can learn all my best tips & tricks on painting watercolor portraits.
I can’t wait to teach you everything I know inside the course.
Let’s get creative!

WHAT’S STANDING IN YOUR WAY FROM
DIVING INTO YOUR CREATIVITY?
Let’s tap into your inner artist, shall we?
I found Dianuh's Watercolor Portrait lesson through a Watercolor Bootcamp workshop I took. I had never heard or seen watercolor portraits done the way Dianuh did them before. I was a little hesitant in the class because I didn't think it was my style. I'm so incredibly thankful and glad I watched her lesson. I even watched it multiple times just because it was so well taught, fun, and different!
Dianuh's watercolor portrait lesson changed my life in the sense that it is now the main focus of my small business! I went from just doing a few portraits for fun to it being my main specialty! I learned so much through her lessons such as body proportions, body shaping, and more! I even learned a few free tips just from following her on social media.
I highly recommend any course from Dianuh and Chasing Linen!”
