Honing My Skills

I have spent the last few years doing year long, online art classes such as Life Book. I get together with my painting buddy Cindy and we chat and paint while the kids are at school.  There are 30 or so teachers teaching a different lesson each week in all different styles. It is joined by 3000+ members from around the world. It is an online course which you can join at anytime, you can log on whenever you want, and do any course you want as long as it has been posted. You are encouraged to upload your picture for the private group to see. It is a supportive group where people give encouragement and advice if asked. I have gotten so much from this course and can't wait to do it all over again each year.

​

During these courses I learnt new art techniques, how to let go of perfection and learnt new things about myself. All of these artworks have come intuitively and have not been copied from the example given in the course.

 

Quite often, admiring an artwork, you don't realise the hours, techniques and materials used to create it. Below you will see some progress shots as well as the final work to get an idea of how each one was made.

I often post works in progress and new art on my Facebook and Instagram pages. I love showing process pics so you can see how each artwork was made. I would love you to go and check them out.
