Now a self-paced course, you’ll have instant access to  all the course content.

Four Mini assignments will help you warm up and experiment with a specific medium and style, color palette, motifs and vibe of that assignment.

Join Tamisha in zoom replays where she’ll share a presentation of an historical figure and carry out some clothed life drawing.

Then you’ll be ready for the Big assignment which builds on the mini, which will be geared to a cool market that buys contemporary illustration.

This course originally ran as a live course, and is now available as an instant-access self-paced course for anyone who missed it live or who just wants to enjoy it all over again! Work at your own pace, or if you prefer deadlines, follow the suggested schedule below from when the course previously ran live.

Monday:

Get your Mini Assignment and discover the many cool, quirky, and gorgeous designs and patterns of the past, from the Roaring 20s to the funky 70s.

Tamisha will introduce the design era and its vibe. Each week you’ll learn about the line and shape, design motifs, and color palette used in each design era. Plus she’ll show you some stunning imagery from the design era, go over the Mini assignment and review that week’s suggested medium.

This is the perfect opportunity to experiment and play before you work on the Big assignment on Thursday.

Taking vintage inspiration and giving it a contemporary twist

Every Wednesday:

It’s time for Sip and Sketch! Join Tamisha in replays of the hour-long teatime  presentation and figure drawing sessions!

Tamisha will give a brief welcome and then share some information about a dynamic and inspiring woman of style from history: someone you may have never heard of! Tamisha will then pose in vintage dress inspired by that week’s style icon so that you can practise your figure drawing, which will also be a great opportunity to try out that week’s suggested medium.

Every Thursday:

Get your Big assignment, which will be for a different market every week. We’ll take a traditional art era and funk it up to make it fresh and contemporary, modern, and marketable!

You’ll get cool inspiration as Tamisha will share her inspiring vintage pieces and thrift store finds in her weekly video.

Plus you’ll get a contemporary music playlist, The Remix!

Here’s your at-a-glance overview from when the course ran live. Follow the suggested schedule, or work at your own pace.

And remember, if you decide to work at your own pace, you have access to all the course materials until January 31, 2026.

Is this course for me?

Have you ever wondered how to find your art style? This course is for anyone of any level who wants to develop their figure drawing, grow their style, create marketable art for their portfolio, and explore new markets for their art from a top art agent and a working illustrator.

Using vintage images, styles and motifs  in a contemporary way will boost your portfolio!

Q. Why should I take Find Your Art Style with Style?

A. In this very cool, original course, you’ll fall in love with Tamisha’s collection of charming vintage clothing and colorful, quirky flea market knickknacks, combined with her curated visuals which will inspire you to explore a variety of styles.

Tamisha brings her love of vintage combined with her expertise as a children’s book illustrator, columnist and educator to select gorgeous design motifs, lines and colors to create a unique mash-up with a contemporary twist.

Together, they will delight you, expand you, and get you to try different things, because that’s how you discover what lights you up, and what you love, what makes your heart sing – that’s the basis of your unique style.

Q. Ok, sounds good. But what will I get out of it? What will I have at the end of the course?

A. Working through the Mini and Big assignments will help you to discover, improve and evolve your unique art style.

Plus you’ll create four fabulous pieces of art for four different hot art markets, each designed to boost your illustration portfolio, and you’ll get to practise and improve your clothed figure drawing, which is fantastic for a whole range of markets, as well as giving your creative toolkit a big boost.

Lilla says: “Tamisha is not only adorable, but the information she shares is incredibly inspiring. In Week 1, for example, I love how she shows her wonky cactus to illustrate whiplash lines as part of the assignment. She shares vintage clothing and accessories and amusing items to illustrate the kinds of line work that you’re working on this week. And she then gives you information to update your vintage work, so that it’s modernized and marketable

This is for you if;

• You want gorgeous inspiration every week and to experiment with different art materials to develop your style
• You want to take ideas from 4 iconic eras and then *remix* to create exciting new illustrations
• You want to be truly inspired by educator and illustrator Tamisha Anthony
• You want to produce four stunning new pieces of art for your portfolio
• You want to get your work in front of an experienced art agent.
• You want to have fun in this joyful and stylish course!

We’ll be looking at  vintage  items as inspiration and adding  our own contemporary twist!

Students can work digitally or traditionally or any combination of the two. They are free to work in any media. We’ll be designing some gorgeous illustrations with an inspiring mash-up of line, color, motifs and art materials.

You can log on every day if you choose, or set aside time once or twice a week to work through it.

The content in the class  is downloadable and you will have access to the classroom until 31 January, 2026 so you have plenty of time to go through everything at your own pace.

There will also be a private Facebook group where you can connect with others and share images of your work, and this will remain open indefinitely.

Q: Do I need to have a drawing tablet or be able to create digital illustrations for this course? 

A: You don’t need any special software or equipment for this course.

A: Lilla Rogers has represented artists internationally and had clients all over the world.

Q: How is this course different to a college course?

A: As an agent whose artists have illustrated and authored lots of children’s books, games and other products, Lilla knows exactly what sells and what doesn’t sell. She knows what clients are looking for and how to present work to them. The course is based on many years of experience in the industry, and a clear understanding of where the gaps are. The historical aspect of the course is incorporated into  portfolio pieces for today’s markets.

As an online course, you can attend from the comfort of your own home or studio, anywhere in the world, and the private classroom is open 24/7 so you can make it work around your life.
