New LIVE online painting class in November!
What do a blank moleskine journal, ornament, trinket box, a wood disk, and paint brushes have in common? They are all part of a new LIVE online class I'm planning for November! I will broadcasting live from my studio showing you how you can create special one of a kind hand painted gifts for your friends and family this holiday season. Giving you the ability to be a creative artistic gift giver! Nothing shows a person how much they mean to you quite like a gift you make with your very own hands.
Recordings will be available shortly after each live broadcast for those who can't attend the live session (or if you want to re-watch them later). For all the details once they are ready, be sure to sign up here: http://eepurl.com/cRig6
New online painting workshop
hey y'all! one of the BIG things i was eluding to in yesterday's post was my brand new online class called "Driven To Abstraction". so many of us struggle along in search of our unique creative voice and have no idea how to go about discovering it. well, my journey into the world of abstract painting has taught me SO much about my style+creative voice and i realized that i should share this with y'all! that's how this course came into being. there's so much more to it so just click on over the class page (where you can also sign up) to get all the details. through this sunday, january 15th, i'm having an early sign up special. the regular price of this workshop will be $95, but if you sign up by sunday, you'll only pay $80.
an exploration of your unique creative voice by way of the abstract painting process
Class begins February 27th
$95 $80 - Special Early Sign Up Price Expires 1/15/12 Click here to register
This is an ALL LEVEL course, so even if you've never painted before you can totally jump right in!
This is a 4 week class, with an additional 2 weeks for catch up and/or review.
In this process-focused style of working, you will experience a release of control through the use of distracting exercises which will allow you to tap into your creative flow and begin to discover your own unique creative voice. By the end of this workshop, you will have a painting that is uniquely YOU!
In this eCourse, I will take you through the different processes I go through as I build an abstract painting. You will get to follow along as I create a painting from start to finish and along the journey, I'll share with you various techniques I use during the creation process.
There will be several pre-recorded HD quality instructional videos posted each of the first four weeks to guide you on your painting journey. I will also be holding live weekly chats (which are totally optional to join) where you can connect with me and other students in the course to support and learn from each other. Along with the videos, there will be bits of inspiration i've found for you to explore each week to encourage you as you progress through the course. I also have a few surprises in store (one of which is a giveaway), but you'll have to wait until the class starts to find out more about those. ;)

I'm SO EXCITED about this new class! I hope you'll join me in this great painting adventure! xoxo
