My Secret Garden
Second Session: Sunday, October 8th 1:30-3:30 PM Pacific Time $30 Class Description: This year long class will be offered month to month and begin with a short demonstration and discussion about all facets of keeping an illustrated journal. After demonstrations, there will be time for working on your own journal during class with help at the ready in an open studio format. Each session will be offered independently, no need to commit to a year nor take each class offered. The only "homework" will be in the form of prompts or ideas to get you started with the notion of holding each other accountable to creating a habit. In this second session of the series, we will begin by sharing pages we have created since we last met if desired. Our discussion will be a continuation about staying motivated and methods for drawing our focus inward. Demonstration: Finding your focus in a labyrinth: A virtual walk in my garden, finding inspiration in new places. A mindful approach to a sketchbook using Zentangles, Mandalas and Labyrinths. Students will have time to work in class and ask questions, especially about setting and intention and committing to regular entries in the journal. In preparation for the November Session a brief preview of finding fonts and lettering will wrap up this month's session. A supply list will be sent to students prior to class. |

We have all gone a little crazy for chickens; many households have added these beautifully adorned, personality plus critters to the roster of their pets. I am excited to announce the addition of a series of classes dedicated to chickens in a variety of media, "Counting Your Chickens". Class Description: In the October session you will learn to render a chicken with scratchboard and then add some color in key spots with ink, dye made specifically for scratchboard, colored pencil, or even watercolor. The choice will be yours. I will demonstrate using Derwent Inktense Colored pencils and water for a light wash. You will learn the basics of scratchboard and focus rendering a chicken's feathers. A supply list will be sent to students prior upon registration. |
