Painting with Paper
PORTRAITS
  Learn the unique art of creating stunning portraits with paper strips!
Join the CourseMy name is Yulia Brodskaya, and I’m a renowned artist known for creating intricate artworks using folded strips of coloured paper—reimagining what painting can look like in the third dimension.
My work draws inspiration from both nature and nature expressed through the human face, leading me to create paper artworks that range from realistic portraits to deeply symbolic pieces. Regardless of the subject, paper lies at the heart of my art. Over the years, I have developed original techniques that transform this humble material into a powerful medium capable of conveying emotion, meaning, and beauty. In this comprehensive online course, I share everything I have learned along the way.
Painting with paper is a fresh and evolving art form. Unlike many established artistic disciplines, it offers tremendous freedom to develop a visual language that feels uniquely your own. This is especially true in portraiture, where relatively few paper artists venture. Drawing on decades of traditional art training, alongside years of experimentation with paper as a medium, I will guide you through the complete process of creating expressive, lifelike portraits using coloured paper strips.
I invite you to join me on this creative journey and discover the possibilities of Painting with Paper. Whether you are looking for a deeply rewarding artistic practice of your own or hoping to create professional portrait commissions for clients, this course will give you the skills, techniques, and confidence to make this remarkable art form your own.
