One BadAss Art Journal Course and More!

 

The One BadAss Art Journal Course has officially started today and as one of the artists I am really excited to see you join us and share how diving into your creativity makes you feel absolutely fantastic!  

This is my fifth year of the course, and it is always a pleasure connecting with the other artists and students as we share how art and creativity inspires and motivates us. 

Here is a sneak peek for you of my session below - I use quite a bit of color, collage material, encouraging words and we bring it together around a simple image - you can substitute for an image of your choosing - bird, butterfly, flower - totally up to you.

I love creating using layers and this was a lovely.  We start out by creating a background using our favorite supplies.  There is a pdf download for you to use as well which includes encouraging words and images of the bird for you to make use of as well.

I hope you join us, it is always a lot of fun on Tiares courses and we always leave inspired and stretched and learn a lot of great techniques from each other - whether you are a teacher or a student.

You can learn more about the course HERE 

Come and join us and Release your inner BadAss!

Figures in Charcoal - 5 Minute Challenge.

Figures in Charcoal – 5 Minute Challenge

I spent two weeks investing 5 minutes creating with my supplies. I wanted to use charcoal and reintroduce myself to the supply - I have 4 different varieties from hard to soft and different brands. So the challenge a 5 minute sketch would achieve several things, get me creating daily and use the charcoal.    It took a few days to get into the swing of things but once I had done it I really enjoyed it. 

You can start a challenge at any time, think about things that you want to get done and give yourself a taster, you will not regret having spent the time in the activity. 

I think I might try and do these challenges every month, it can be as short or as long as you want.  I was thinking about what I wanted to do next with them and I would like to do something with stitching.

Blessings!
