It has been so inspiring to see all of the artwork that has been created by students in my online course SERENDIPITY- A YEAR IN MIXED MEDIA.
I love looking back at my own painting videos because it reminds me how many layers and layers it took to get to the finished painting.
That’s why I’m always sharing my paintings from start to finish because when you see a finished painting, you assume it’s just that. But you don’t get to see all of the beautiful mistakes and starts and stops that got me frustrated and then led to that final piece.
It’s all part of my creative process and I’ve been having so much fun creating these new paintings, I thought I’d share a snip-it from one of my favorites with you…
Watch the video on YouTube here.
I hope you enjoy this video of The Amazing Journey.
With music by my friends’ The Wiggly Tendrils.
In class, I slow down most of the video from start to finish and talk you through each step, so you can see just how every layer got there and know why I create the way I do to make it easiest for you to paint too.
I can’t wait to see the gorgeous artwork you create!
xo,

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about all of the ways I stay inspired. Having fun and learning to let go have become essential to my creative process. For me that means slowing down and keeping calm, reading in the sunshine, stepping outside at midnight to watch for shooting stars, doodling, taking long walks in the woods, having bonfires in the backyard, going barefoot in...

This video is one of the backgrounds we create for a project in my online workshop Serendipity 2 – Loosening Up With Mixed Media. In this 9 minute video I share one of my favorite mixed media techniques for creating a lusciously layered background. In class, we’ll layer all sorts of art supplies – oil paintsticks, watercolors, pastel, ink, acrylics, pencil, papers and pen. You’ll... Continue reading
I used to be afraid to raise my hand in class. I’d learned that my ways of thinking and seeing were different from everyone else. When I shared an idea, I was often laughed at or told it was impossible. So I learned to stay quiet and be shy. When I was in the third grade we had an art project where we were supposed...

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading
