somerset studio magazine, jan/feb 2011 issue
oh my gosh! can you feel my excitement!
i’ve been waiting for this issue of somerset studio to come out since last august when i first submitted by art and then in september when i first heard my article would be published! and to see my owls in print in this most beautiful publication is absolutely AMAZING!
on the letters to the editor page, there’s even a photo of the GIGANTIC box i painted with my signature techniques and submitted with all of my originals! a bit of HOPE goes a long, long way!
Â
thank you to the lovely editor-in-chief of stampington & company, christen oliviarez, and to all of the fabulous people over at somerset studio magazine!
and i’m so excited that i got to share my publication in somerset with my very first HOW TO PAINT AN OWL workshop!!!
i decided to teach my painting workshops after writing that article for somerset! and i cannot even say how much fun i had in class last weekend!
my owl and brian’s owl
since it was my first class, i thought i’d better get in some practice and see if my techniques made sense to someone else. so, i taught Brian!Â
and just look at the awesome owl he painted (right).Â
because my in-person class last weekend was only four hours, i decided to give everyone a start with a spray painted background (on a block of poplar wood with a sawtooth hanger on the back for easy hanging).
then i packed up my vintage wallpaper books and all of my acrylics, glitter, pastels, ink, brushes, origami paper, sheet music and any other art supplies i had around in my studio!
and i was so amazed to see everyone’s owl evolve into their very own! from this initial step…
 TITLE: Today At the Park. Prints available in my etsy shop.
into little characters with their own personalities!
and by the end of class, everyone had their own! each with their own unique backgrounds and colors! just look at them all together!
it was such an awesome experience and so fabulous to see everyone smiling with their owls!
THANK YOU everyone for all of your encouragement and support!

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.

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

when i read your article in this issue, i knew i had to come and visit. the article reminded me of something i read many months ago. it said how we had to remember how we spent our time as children or what we enjoyed doing the most as children. there is where lies our source of creativity. i believe in that . best wishes.
Cathy {tinniegirl}
So awesome for you Juliette. The article looks fantastic, and I absolutely love the box that you sent your work in.
Your work is so lovely and I'll be pretty excited to take your online class next year.
Have a lovely festive season. xxx

super Cool!! Yea Wisconsin … not the team I mean you!! We are all so proud of you!! looks like its all coming together!!
I brought you up in a conversation with Suzi Blu the other day, and I was saying how I love how you do your faces!! kind of a mix between Teesha moore and suzi … But super cuter from Jullette!! Do you know who I am talking about? 🙂
Blessings!
~Vanessa!
Juliette Crane
Of course I know who you are talking about, Vanessa! And I am gushing over here, thinking you’d actually bring up my name and mention my art in conversation. Let alone in comparison to suzi and teesha moore! Wow! I am majorly honored!
Especially with all of the teaching opportunities I’m about to embark on, I am in total awe of those two!

The right drum teacher can make a big difference in your
effort to learn this instrument. A drumming instructor
who is proficient in at least two music genres can help
bring a good deal of stylistic variety to your playing.
Selecting the best drum instructor for you can take some
time but usually pays off many times over.
