Psychology of Creation by Meisha Mock


Meisha’s is an internationally renowned artist whose work is represented throughout the world. Her art background stems from a unique focus of work. In her career she began her work journey as a scenic art for theatre, film and television, later she became a professional cosplayer and created cosplay outfits from scratch and most recently she has had a strong focus of mask making for the past year.

This course is about the mind and art, how subtle things like shape and color subconsciously affect our perspective of a piece. This class teaches you to harness that and bring it into your own work. The first part is lecture based then the class moves to painting a mask where all of those concepts are brought into the piece. The class goes over how to maneuver painting a three dimensional object and bring a story into the details of the piece.

What you can expect to learn in this course.



The course is broken into two distinct sections.

Supply List:


  • A device that can connect to the internet (specifically Pinterest) a smartphone, tablet, or computer would work.
  • Acrylic Paint Liquitex Basic and Golden are my personal favorites.
  • Paint Brushes and detail brushes
  • Your 3D Form the mask used in the demo is linked HERE

Please note that you don’t need to purchase all of the materials that I use, especially the brushes if you have some at home that you already enjoy. It is recommended to purchase the wolf mask so you can paint along, but you can also use a different style of mask or 3D form too.
