Creating with Intention

I'm currently working on a very fun and interesting online workshop with Ann D'Angelo of Wonderstrange! Our program is called, "Creating with Intention:Making Mixed Media Journal Spreads, Cards, and Canvases that Delight the Eyesand Feed the Soul" and will start on March 1, 2014 over at the  Wonderstrange website. The program focuses on collage and mixed media art and helps artists to create with intent rather than whimsically slapping on layers and images willy-nilly. Finding a focus and planning the canvas from the get go will help keep art from going off track which is one of the most upsetting issues in a mixed media spread. One moment you have a brilliant piece and a few added images or splashes of the paintbrush later, and things are falling apart. Ouch. Been there. The program is meant to help you avoid these sorts of art mistakes and also to fix them if and when they do happen. Registration starts tomorrow! There are lots of fun videos to go with this program and some super workbooks too.

Artwork included here will all be part of the new program.

On the 29 Faces front, I'll be posting a few new portraits tomorrow or Saturday and will soon be caught up. It's been a busy work week so I haven't had time to participate daily. I'll be posting soon and catching up with all of the viewing and commenting too.

  2. Beautiful pieces, love the colour and the humour in them. That sounds like an interesting class. It's so easy to get 'lost' while creating a journal page, without much intention. Although that can be good too at times. When it doesn't go wrong.
