To say this has been a crazy chaotic year would be an understatement....but i am happy to say i see calm seas ahead. I cannot tell you how grateful that makes me. I made my final move to a new home 2 days before Christmas....and boy does that make for a stressful holiday! Moving twice in one year is not something Id recommend...just saying.
That said, I have been doing a lot of thinking and planning for the year ahead. I usually take the week between Christmas and New Years to think about my classes for the first part of the year....and I decided I want to change things up a bit. I am going to teach with a new focus....more about you, my students embracing your inner artist. More about using all kinds of art supplies, paints, pencils, mediums etc. I am going to teach more altered books, art journals, atc's and canvases...More full day workshops, it seems just when the playing gets good we have to clean up....I want to change that up a bit....I might even teach a doodle-drawing class or two. Depending on the response iget to the drawings I post.
My poor photo is not the best quality...at the time i was drawing, i wasnt planning on blogging her. She is drawn on a vintage chemistry text book from the 1940's...
more of the process....the best part about doodle-drawing is that it is soooo darn forgiving. imperfections are the beauty of the finished pieces.
Hard to resist the call of my Twinkling H2o's....the sheer tint of color, my happy place for sure!
She is all finished and ready to find a home in my Art Journal.
