We worked through combining techniques to create designs + compositions for some of the projects in Module 12!
- Art Talk #3 The Effects of Light
- Technique Project # 6 The Effects of Light in Drawing from Life aka The Egg Project
- Challenge of using Thumbnails to work out what types of compositions don't work for what you're trying to create!
- How to use brush strokes to show shape + form
- and much more! This one was good ya'll, enjoy!
We synthesized multiple lessons within the SYWYWTAS Course to talk about process and variations as you approach your own work.
Lessons we referenced were:
Lessons we referenced were:
- Chiaroscuro self portrait
- Portrait with an object
- Color Mixing
- Blending
- Elements of Design
- Drawing in Perspective
- Map your composition out in thumbnails before you begin your larger work!
- Practice drawing in both pencil and paint!
- Give yourself reference points - am I referencing something outside of my painting or within my painting?
Here we talked about connecting throughout the lessons to develop our skills and deepen our understanding of design so we can create our own symphony of visual art!
Here we talked about design and process and how to connect to those through the lessons and repeating them as you grow in your art practice!
In this live studio sesh (where I was snowed in at home!), we talked about the importance of the design challenges for not only getting us moving in our creative process but truly putting together the pieces necessary to create art!
The art lessons I referenced from the course were:
~ Design Challenge #1
~ Design Challenge #2
~ Design Challenge #6

In this LIVE Studio Session, we talked about the Tribute to an Artist You Admire project from Module 11 Lesson #22 and all the mixed media options you can choose to go with it! When you intimately understand your materials, you can choose to use them however you like - even non-traditional ways of using them!
In this LIVE Sesh we talked about:
~ Relative / sight measurement techniques
~ How to choose your way through a project by deciding what you want to be curious about and using the previous lessons to come up with solutions!
~ Playing with what you want to make and asking, "I wonder what would happen if..."

In this LIVE Sesh, we talked about adapting the different lessons to make them our own. How do we translate the concepts of value, color, shape, form into our very own artistic expression? You can always use the lessons as a jumping off point for exploration, even if you do not feel like you want to do them exactly as they are laid out! You can watch the videos and then explore different ways of mark making and thinking through the elements and principles of design! Diversity makes art beautiful!
Today I did a lil demo to explore an idea inspired by another artist!
We talked about:
~ the graphite portrait project
~ the collage into a painting project,
~ the path to finding your own unique creative voice within the projects and how they are laid out to help you do so!

In this session, we talked about creative ways to build and maintain continuity in your practice.
~How to work with layering in paint.
~Some intro to using glazes with acrylics.
~How to get more defined lines in your acrylic paints.

We recapped some of the lessons and talked about integrating them into our own practice of art making.
Chiarascuro, Three-Brush Blending Technique, Abstract Self-Portrait, How to massage these ideas and develop our own work, The Elements and Principles of Design are some other good lessons to go back to again and again!

In this LIVE Studio Session I clearly struggled with running away from the sunlight through the windows!
We talked about: Best use of Rubber Cement adhesive for the Design Challenges that involve collage, How to get in position for drawing on a larger scale with more fluidity, Painting tiny areas with thin layers, The difference in drawing vs sketching approach, SO much goodness on this one! Please enjoy the recording and send in your questions! Also, we talked about how I am not a scary art teacher : )
Happy Art Making,

In this LIVE Session from September 19th, 2020 I answered some questions about using these projects to develop skills that help you along in your process to create what you want and laid out an example from my own creative life of what that looked like.
I also shared more of what the opportunities of learning from the graphite drawing projects are really about, asking ourselves, "What am I really seeing?" and "What is the true value (lightness or darkness) that I am observing?"
