One lovely February I set myself the challenge of painting 12 square heart artworks, using whatever art supplies I might have on hand, on the most delicious Khadi handmade cotton paper.
Hearts are a bit of a favourite of mine, and they're even more so after this collection!
Follow along and join in!
We've done soooo many 'Demonstration Collections' in the last three years that I've compiled a Collection of 12 'favourites' to inspire you to create in a way that feels good to you, and to remind you of all the guidance that's right here, at your fingertips. Make a little time (from 5 minutes, really!) to get a little bit Art Fit, and feel wonderful for it.
I love something to be beautiful AND useful and have painted on things, as gifts, for years. For recent gifts I have documented the process, and in this Collection you learn my reasoning for choosing certain subjects, and then how I applied the artwork to a non-stretched-canvas surface (for a change). It's probably easier than you think!
This Demonstration Collection is connected by the substrate I use - a prepainted Blue background, and the subject is painted in acrylic, often with coloured pencil details.
Walk inside my mind as I explain my thought process of taking a reference image and creating an artwork, in real time - but using the fast forward, pause and rewind functions of video to suit your learning style.
This collection is being painted at the moment!
Three colourful and cute rabbits, painted with acrylics, on canvas, and recorded live.
Get it for half price until it's completed in March 2023.
During June and early July 2022, I looked at 12 paintings by Master Artists I admire, and recreated them (or parts of them) in watercolour, with a 15-40 (ish) minute timeframe.
It's wonderful to discover learning as you paint!
