first study

For all members. I'm going to give a monthly challenge/prompt starting on January 1 (in perfect timing with New Year's resolutions!). I'm excited because I already know what it is! But December is toooo holiday for more projects. We will all go make a fun painting based on the prompt/challenge and then meet in the third week on a live to share and discuss. Drops and lives in the calendar!

VIP members can access in the classroom tab.

I have added a link to more reference options for practicing the step by step drawing and alla prima portrait lessons. Find the link in the lessons. The key is repetition but it's only good if we are engaged.. so keep doing the lesson over and over while shifting the subject.

Last night, ALL NIGHT in the liminal I was being shown images of my latest fish painting. In different stages, the record button, it was relentless! I often get messages about my path in this way. I'm trying to parse it out. Thoughts: There's obviously some opportunity with that painting... I had been planning on just releasing the four part footage. Shall I do more voiceover (re: record button). But also.. that painting was born out of an intuitive nudge to make a game out of one client's need for pressure and testing their mettle. Shall I give us monthly challenges? I used to do this during the pandemic and painters still talk to me about it.. I'm gonna let it go and allow the aha moment to roll in, pushing never works for these sendings!
