Let’s FILL a journal with butterflies!

Painted butterflies, sketched butterflies, inky butterflies, loose watercolor butterflies, gouache butterflies…(I think you get the idea!)

In this course, we will be filling a watercolor journal/sketchbook with butterflies!! We are using this wonder-full butterfly theme to explore, play, and practice all kinds of beautiful art techniques and supplies.

Course Concept

This course is designed to be a “home base”, if you will, for filling our butterfly journals.

We are starting with a few lessons, but I will be adding lessons as I fill my journal.

I do not have a specific time schedule for adding lessons. I will add them as I fill my pages.

In this way, we can grow together over time.

You may think this course is about butterflies.

And it is, sort of…

In reality, this is a course about

Art Play, Exploration, and Discovery!

It’s about choosing a simple subject, and filling an art journal to the brim with drawings, paintings, sketches, writing.

It’s about spilling your thoughts and inspiration onto the page.

It’s about creating fun art.

It’s about being authentic to ourselves.

It’s about taking the risk of making “ugly” art. And turning the page to take that risk again.

It’s about growing as an artist, as a creative, as a person.

And we are using a butterfly theme to do all of that! Amazing!

If that sounds good to you, then,

Can I ask a favor of you?

When you come to class, will you bring your willingness to embrace play, take risks, and have fun?

Think about it…

When you bring an open heart and mind, the possibilities are amazing!

You may even learn something about yourself or art that you didn’t know before.

As I was creating this class, I learned a new way to draw that I absolutely love!! I had never drawn that way before, but I will definitely be adding it to my go-to art techniques.

(You have to watch the lessons to find out which drawing technique is my new fave!)

The content of this course will help you

dive

a little deeper

into

your own special brand of creativity.

As we draw, paint, journal, and write, you just may discover something about your own style.

You see, an artist’s style often is found in what they love.

In the colors they choose.

In the nuances of their drawing.

In the character of a brush stroke.

In the repetition of marks and strokes and instruments.

By keeping our subject simple, and exploring varied ways to approach the subject, certain aspects of your style and personality are going to show through!

We are going deep into our arty selves. Each exploring our own creativity.

And, while this course is not specifically about how to develop your artistic voice, it will help you on that journey to develop that voice. <3

Creatives are amazing people

who are always growing, changing, and challenging themselves.

And the truth is, an artist’s style is a journey.

It's ever evolving, always changing.

What This Course Is NOT

Please be aware, this is not a course in realism.

This is not a course where we are focused on staying in the lines.

This is not a class for a person who longs to create true-to-life drawings, paintings, or journals.

And, don’t worry! I will let you know each time I add a lesson.
