Hello…Here are three things!

 

1. When people reach out and ask me to donate a class for a good cause, it’s hard to say “no!” I’m very excited to be part of the Art Bundle for Good! There are more than 100 art-related courses, ebooks, and resources on topics like drawing, painting, mixed media art, perspective drawing, digital illustration, creativity, marketing your art, and more. All bundled together for one low price. Click HERE for details… this sale ends on Sunday.

2. Congratulations to Janine of Uppercase Magazine for the recent publication of Botanica, a beautiful, 448-page book featuring botanical artwork from 79 artists… and Lynn Whipple (one of our online class instructors) is one of them! Congratulations Lynn and Janine!

Hello!

In 2017, my husband Steve and I started making daily videos for our 5th year-long art class… 365: Activate Your Art Brain. A large undertaking for sure… but it turned out to be such a rewarding and creative experience!

So… we are continuing 365 on into the future!

This has been one of my personal most creative years ever, and I sincerely hope you can join me in making creativity a daily adventure!

xoxo
Carla

365: Daily Creative Practice
A Creativity Video Each Day
Prompts • Techniques • Assignments • Community

Class begins January 5, 2018… Join Today!

Welcome to 365!
This is our second year and we can’t wait to get started.
We have a new platform, new ideas and new artists!

Welcome to 365!

Our goal is to bring a little inspiration and direction to help you develop your personal art, to stimulate ideas, and maybe enhance how you see the world around you. A short, daily video in your email inbox starts the process and we try to make every day a surprise. These will include interviews, visits with artists, stories, inspirations, suggestions and prompts, techniques, tips, and more.

NEW FOR 2018!

• Every Friday will feature a more in-depth painting, drawing, or mixed-media project where I will share new ideas, experiments, and things learned from other artists.

• Weekly Digest Function so you can choose whether you want to get your prompts every day or on a weekly basis.

The first video goes live Friday, January 5, 2018.

We hope you can join us!!
