OCTOBER
“Direction”
Having a sense of direction – especially metaphorically speaking – is a quality we learned to admire. We associate it with ambition, determination, will power and ultimately succes in life. Your eye on the ball, so to speak.

Learning from the heart
Online classes designed to support your creativity
Learning basic and advanced art skills doesn’t have to be tedious or uninspiring. I love teaching people how to work on their goals by combining technical exercises with creative, dynamic projects. Art is more than just a skill; it’s a healing mindset.
I have both shorter workshops and extensive courses available; whatever suits your creative need right now. I give feedback and support in my safe, private Facebook group!

More figures from my mind, part 2
I did another three figure sketches for you, drawn from my mind, in this new video. I hope you enjoy! As I explained in my last blog (and video), I’m drawing these figures from my mind to see how much information I have stored in my brain. I’ve found this week that I’m enjoying figure…

Drawing figures from my mind, part I
Drawing from the mind is an exercise that can help you use previously stored information better. I’ll explain why this works well for me, in this series of figure sketches. When working from a reference photo, I often feel limited by a few things. There is a need to copy what you see, accurately. Sometimes…

New (and some old) brushes!
My recent venture into the world of oil painting was a perfect excuse to take out my Rosemary & Co catalog and drain my bank account. Let’s talk about brushes, choices and variety. I have a nice collection of brushes that work well for my acrylic and mixed media work. And I’d like to keep…
