girlfriends


I had set an intention to draw a girl per day,  in one hour,  and add her to this journal spread.  
one girl in one hour-four days
I have been one very busy lady.  
Along with all my other items on my agenda I will admit to being a little hesitant to commit to this.
Yet I am so glad I did!
I have stretched myself creatively.
Which stirred my juices to learn other things.
Like encaustics...  I had taken a class with Crystal Neubauer several years ago.  She was an excellent teacher.  I love the whole process.  Bought some supplies then never bothered to use them.  
That was until recently.  
I did a loose drawing of a woman face with charcoal.  Applied joint compound around her face-oil painted on top of the joint compound

The point I am making (for myself and you, too,  if it applies) is to continue to challenge myself to creatively grow!

Mark Making and Collage with Encaustic workshop

 This weekend I had the opportunity to attend a workshop "Mark Making and Collage with Encaustic" by Crystal Neubauer.  We were honored to be the 2nd workshop at her new The Healing House Art Studio.  What an exciting opportunity she has.  (I'm kinda green with envy!!!)  Our class only had a total of 7 people which added to the pleasure of the class.  Crystal was able to give us as much attention as needed.  Which I was glad about since I was venturing into unknown territory.
I resonated with Crystal's style of teaching right away.  I have very little experience with collage and no experience with encaustic yet she made it easy to understand.  For those who know me will not be surprised when I say I was just as anxious to get home so I could create some of the things I learned.  Which is exactly what I did today in my studio.  I ordered encaustic supplies and created this collage.  I had so much fun!  I'll show more when my encaustic supplies arrive.
When you get a chance check out Crystal's blog http://otherpeoplesflowers.blogspot.com/index.html to learn more about her.
