Ideas to include in your display: 

Photos, miniature objects
like charms, feathers, seashells, 
coins, tokens, tickets, mini bottles, sea glass, drift wood, pressed flowers, acorns, jewelry, 

decorative papers, small paintings or drawings,

trim accents and so much more.

It Was a Colorful Day!

What a marvelous group of “Blooming Artists” we had at this past 

Saturday’s A Time to Bloom Workshop! 

With a child-like approach each person created a whimsical and colorful painting while exploring layering and mixed-media techniques. It was uplifting to see all of the bright colors and uniqueness of each creation. We all had a wonderful time laughing and learning together!

Join us for one next month for our Altered Shadow Box Workshop.  

We hope to see you and your artsy friends soon!

Incorporate Mixed Media and Texture into Your Blooming Painting!

Dig through your paper collection, art tissues, stencils,

 paints, markers, pastels and pencils. 

Search for interesting objects to create texture 

and pattern with.

Build painted backgrounds along with

 layers of paper, stencils, 

drips and splatters.

Patiently allow your painting to evolve as you 

let go of your worries and expectations.

Explore nature and invite it to inspire you with its wonderful textures and color combinations.

Begin to create with your paint palette, shapes and textures 

of your own making.

Join us for our upcoming workshop

 A Time to Bloom. 

We’ll encourage you to 

loosen up, relax, honor your intuition

Hidden Talents Discovered!

 ShaDeeLa's workshop on October 13th proved to be a positive affirmation for those students who may have doubted their artistic ability.

 

This purposely "fast paced" workshop didn't give them too much time to think and demonstrated that a direct and spontaneous approach results in a fresh and less "overworked" painting.
 

 

Layering techniques along with depth of field were emphasized. Students left with 3 warm ups and one larger "Fall Bouquet" painting.

 

 

 As we all stood back and admired everyone's accomplishments, we proudly said--

 We CAN do it!!!

Artsy Angels

 

 

This past Saturday's “Artfully Altered Angel” workshop was divine!

 

 

Students learned many new techniques such as paint crackling, antiquing and decoupaging, as they were guided step-by-step to create their own mixed media Angel.

 

 

Personalities began to shine as each student added their own special affirmations and messages to the canvas giving it that personal touch.

 

 

Everyone left with a ready to hang “little piece of heaven” to adorn their walls at home or to give as a gift that serves as an inspirational reminder that we are all

surrounded by angels.
