Busy, crazy time...
A lot has happened since the last time I posted here...I'm about ready to launch the self-directed mini-classes that I ran the polls for, mentioned in THIS POST, at least the first one--sure enough there was just SO much information that I've broken the first one down into three. They got WAY beyond "mini'!!
Soooo--there will be Quick Sketching 1, Quick Sketching 2 that will cover some of the more advanced stuff, and Quick Sketching in Color. My brain is sizzling with ideas; sounds like bacon frying in here! I suspect I've been driving kateslover and my terrific webmistress, Sonya at morgansites.com bananas with all the tweaks, changes and glitches.
The illustration is from Quick Sketching 1, of course...the better you know your tools, the quicker you can grab which one you want for a specific need, and the faster you can get AT it. I offer all sorts of time-saving tips in these lessons, plus exercises, inspiration, demos, and videos.
I ran into a glitch with the interface between PayPal and aWeber, who will be delivering the classes, but finally got that ironed out on Friday afternoon, so we should be ready to go sometime the first of this week. After the first one, Quick Sketching 1, I'm hoping to get these done and up much faster!
There will be a signup form on THIS PAGE so you can keep up with what classes are available, as soon as I get one launched. Watch for it!
The new group blog, Artist's Journal Workshop, is really rocking. Lots of response, and the interviews with the artists involved have been wonderful. We're up to #6 now, with almost 20 to go...see the most recent one with Fred Crowley HERE--and browse around, while you're at it! We're discussing everything from favorite tools and materials to dealing with life's challenges.
I've been playing around with gouache again, partly as a result of our discussions on that blog, and will be sharing a palette conversion and more journal pages, plus drawing tips, here. I just shot too many photos and step by steps to fit in the lessons.
Yep, I ALWAYS overproduce...ask my editors!
