Upcoming events

In this workshop you re-purpose/upcycle an old book into a new journal.  You may select a variety of papers or stick with just one type (such as watercolor) to create your own journal perfectly suited to you.

In this session you will be guided through my favorite layering process of creating a loose (unstretched) canvas piece with layers of marks in acrylics, pastel, ink and more. 

In this session you will try different ways to to resist Watercolor and Gouache.  I will demonstrate my favorites and will walk you through several techniques to achieve different looks.

You will create a mini book with one sheet of abstract watercolor paper then start your #mymessymandala project on one of the spreads.  I have found this practice to be extremely relaxing and enjoyable.

Create your own journal from bits and pieces.  Scrap papers, envelopes, unfinished pieces of artwork, greeting cards, scrapbook paper, watercolor paper, you name it...this is the journal for you to use it all up.

Similar to Mixed Media Posie Postcards but more emphasis on cutting on layers of mixed paper backgrounds.  This workshop features simple supplies with great impact.  

In this workshop you work with oil pastel, watercolor and permanent black marker on watercolor paper to make a selection of  whimsical postcards ready to brighten anyone's day! 

Create a lushly layered background and finish with a quote or phrase.  I work on loose canvas in this session but the technqieus can be translated to art journal pages or your desired surface.

This workshop starts with mixing a variety of green hues in watercolor.  I lead you through the process of drawing several styles of succulents.  I demonstrate several techniques of painting for variety.

We will cover pigment load, glazing, wet on wet, wet on dry, color blending, color mixing and basic brush strokes. Learn the basic properties of watercolor paints as you create your own color wheel.
