Discover the Joy of Drawing Faces with Confidence

Join Lulu for an in-person workshop where you’ll learn how to bring faces to life in just one day – no matter your current skill level.

Hi. I’m Lulu, and I’m here to help you step into your destiny.

You want more peace, balance, and hope. That’s why you’re on a journey of self-discovery. You want clear direction and to know your time here matters.

It’s time to live your life on your terms, and I’m here to give you the supportive nudge you need.

You’re not told how powerful your creative energy is, but I believe it’s how your spirit yearns to express itself to awaken all parts of your whole. I offer a potent, yet gentle way to shift into a deeper place within yourself. This work joins the intuitive world of creativity with the logistical world of organization and planning – all of which are needed for living a life of balance and purpose.

You’re here to show up as your whole self to light up this big, beautiful world. It’s time for you to come alive!

Start Your Transformational Journey

Grab a Gratitude Journal

Happiness is a mindset.

If you don’t already have one, I invite you to grab one of my gratitude journals.

Research shows that a gratitude practice can improve one’s health, career, social life, personal life and emotional well-being. (Crazy!)

Adopting an “Attitude of Gratitude” changed my life. So much so that I created the “Gratitude Journal for Teens & Adults.”

It’s a 52-week guide that will help make gratitude part of your daily routine, so you can live your life with more intention, mindfulness, and start reaping the benefits of gratitude today. (And it’s only $7.99 on Amazon! Go get it!!)

Take A Soul Inspiring Class

Soul Journey Journal Series 1

Experience a transformational and healing journey through the world of art and creativity.

I adore combining creativity with personal/spiritual development. It’s helped me integrate life lessons quicker, heal at a deep level, and make the difficult times easier to bear. I’ve experienced this, my clients have experienced this, and I want this for you too.

No art experience required (but if you’re an experienced creative, you’ll gain new insights too!)

Soul Journey Journal Series 2

Calling all creative souls! The Soul Journey Journal is back for a second edition, offering all new transformational lessons and inspiration. This series of classes feature new art techniques and teachings that will help uncover what’s holding you back from achieving your goals and dreams. It’ll give you that gentle push you may need to face your fears and take inspired action!

*You don’t need to complete the first series before this one. Both Soul Journey Journal series offer their own personal, spiritual, and creative growth in fun and inspiring ways.

Do you want to draw but feel intimidated by faces? 

You’re not alone! Portraits are one of the most common challenges artists face. That’s why I created this 1-day immersive workshop to help you break through the fear and discover how fun (and approachable!) drawing portraits can be.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
✨ Understand facial proportions step by step
✨ Draw eyes, noses, and mouths with confidence
✨ Use shading to bring dimension and life to your sketches
✨ Put it all together into a completed portrait you’ll be proud of

No prior portrait experience is required. Just bring your curiosity and creativity!

Who it’s for:
- Beginners who want to finally try drawing faces
- Artists who already draw but want to improve portrait skills
- Anyone ready for a fun, creative day in a supportive environment

🎟 Early Bird Price (through October 8): $75
🎟 Regular Price: $97

⚠️ Space is limited to ensure everyone gets individual guidance.

Reserve your spot today and spend a day discovering just how much you can do with portraits.

Here’s how you attach the small elastic hair tie to the button hole sleeve. This makes pulling the sleeves up so easy, and they stay in place! 😍

Again, Thank you @christiemoeller for this idea❣️

When learning how to draw people, the grid method is a great place to start.

I like using the Grid # app because I can adjust the Rosen columns before downloading the image. You can also draw a grid on your reference photo, and draw the same grid on your paper.

Next, go square by square and draw EXACTLY what you see. This is a great way to scale up or down your image, too.

The grid method is used by beginners and experienced artists alike.

Another drawing technique is the sight-size method. Check out my previous video on it.

What else would you like to learn about?

This is how I fall asleep instantly, and it’s so easy! Don’t try this unless you want deep sleep 😴

Imagine there’s a ring starting at the top of your head. Start by saying in your head “my body is completely relaxed.“ Next, visualize the ring scanning down your body. As it scans over a new body part, say in your head “my scalp is completely relaxed, my forehead is completely relaxed, my eyes are completely relaxed, my nose is completely relaxed” etc. continue this until you reach your feet, but I never make it that far.

Your mind is a powerful tool. Whatever you think or say, your body will react.

Try this and let me know if it works for you!

I love drawing people, and using a photo reference is a great way to start understanding faces.

How to Draw Faces: Why It’s Hard and Where to Start

Learning how to draw faces feels impossible for most beginners. You start with high hopes, pencil ready, only to create something that barely resembles a human face. The eyes look wonky, the nose sits wrong, and the proportions seem off, no matter how hard you try....
