From June to August 2012, ArtfulGathering.com will be presenting TWO exciting semesters of premiere online video workshops offered by fabulous artists who are known nationally and internationally. We are all very excited to share out knowledge, skill, and creativity with you, and we hope that you will join us for this AMAZING annual online event.

Blog Hop with us for a chance to win a prizes from Jerry’s Artarama!

Each week the faculty of Artful Gathering will be announcing a featured blog to visit.

You can hop along with us until the final destination blog is reached, and where ONE Grand Prize winner will be chosen at Random for a chance to win a $200.00 e-gift card from Jerry’s Artarama!!!

Two Runner Up winners will also be chosen at random for a chance to win a $25.00 e-gift card from Jerrys.

Each week I will announce the next featured blog for you to visit, and there you will find a new secret word or words that you will need to collect along your way from blog to blog. Once you have collected all the words from each blog you visit, they will work out to say a very artsy phrase. Here are the rules:

For your chance to win, you must collect all the secret code words and submit them upon the final destination blog in May. A random drawing will be conducted from those contestants who have submitted the complete collection of secret words!
Three winners will be randomly drawn. One for the $200.00 e-card to Jerry’s, and two runner’s up for the 25.00 e-card to Jerrys.

Week by week we’ll go from one blog to the next!

Remember to collect all the secret words. These words will work out to say a very artful phrase, and you’ll need all the pieces to be eligible for the final prize drawings!

CREATE

I’m heading off to sunny CA tomorrow to attend CHA with art pal Mary Beth Shaw! Very excited to see art friends, meet new people, and generally come home feeling beyond inspired.

This week I’ve been working on numerous things, but have been missing just creating art so I worked on some more class samples for the upcoming CREATE Irvine Retreat taking care of two needs at once. That’s the one of the wonderful things about being a working artist, some of the time the ‘work’ seems like plain old fun! Here are some of the goodies I have in store for my classes. For more info on upcoming retreats please visit my ‘Teaching’ page.

Take 6-Techniques for Journaling

Sketching Without Pencils

And if you can’t make a live retreat or just want to have some artful fun while you wait, my next online class opens the 6th! You can register for any of the 3 classes I’m offering this winter on my ‘Online Classes’ page.

Have a creative weekend~

On My Table

I’ve been so busy, it’s really insane…
so yesterday I grabbed a sketch I’d done awhile back….

one with a little ‘Victorian’ inspiration…

I haven’t just sat down and painted in far too long…

so I’m painting fast and furious in short bursts between other projects…

and it feels great…

Go, paint something, even if you really don’t have time! Especially if you really don’t have time~

And We’re Off!

Pursuing Portraits opens on February 6th and will also stay open for 6 months. This is a perfect lead up to my Brand New Artful Gathering workshop coming up this June, Still Pursuing Portraits. More information is on the Online Classes Page
