Hi everyone!

My friend Melinda Tidwell has taught two classes with us, the popular How to Make Abstract Art that Works and Fine Art Collage! She reached out recently to tell me about a recent show and also a free webinar she is hosting on Thursday!

Shortest Interview Ever
with Melinda!

Q: Tell us about your webinar!

A: The purpose of the webinar is to teach artists what I use as guiding principles for developing abstract compositions. I was so lost when I began making abstract work, that I have always wished these kinds of resources were available. If people want to follow this path further, they can take the course we did together “How to Make Abstract Art that Works”,  or if they are wanting to study it with even more vigor, our Abstract Art – The Deep Dive, a 6-week course, is beginning April 1 in Yum City.

Q: Tell us about your show!

A: I had a group of 9″x12″ collages on panel that i sent the Gail Severn Gallery in Ketchum, ID. Working on panel has resulted in much more layered work which I really enjoyed making—- though they went through many iterations.

So check out the webinar and show! Congratulations, Melinda!

Gelli® Plate LIVE
A Live Workshop via Zoom
Saturday, March 27th
3.5 Hours – $45

Hi everyone! I’m excited to offer Gelli® Plate Printmaking as a workshop via Zoom. Create beautiful monotypes without a press and with limited supplies!

In this live, technique-based class, we will work on fine-art quality abstracted landscapes. The monotype printing process is something that got me really excited about art over 20 years ago. You never know what you’re going to get, and I love the myriad of textures and patterns! The Gelli® Plate allows you to create beautiful monotypes without a press, using materials anyone has in their studio.

In this 3-hour live workshop we will work on how to apply bands of color and texture, develop your images with layers, stencils, stamping and drawing, and tips for finishing your prints. It doesn’t matter if you print all the time or have yet to pull your first one, this get-together promises to be a productive and fun day.  

Warning: Gelli® Plate Printmaking is addictive!
