Woodland Girls {and other natural curiosities}

$62.00

Fall is my favorite time of the year because of the crispness in the air, the crunch of the leaves under foot, the bending of the golden grasses and the colors that are changing all around me.  Each fall I find a heightened sense of creativity and a pull into my studio unlike any other time of the year. I think it is the gathering that fall brings.  Fall brings people around your table, leaves collected on walks, feathers pinned down in your journal, pine cones piled in a bowl on your table and long walks where your thoughts are more likely to wander.  Fall also brings me outside more to create and encourages my love of art with my love of nature.

Just imagine walks in the woods, gathering, creating inside AND outside of your studio, sculpting with paperclay, painting our own Woodland Girls on wood slices, wood burning, stamp carving, creating your own nature study journal and incorporating words from some of my favorite poets.

Nature's Canvas | Painting Faces on Sticks, Branches, & Driftwood

I love to take an early morning run through the forest with the wind whispering through the tall pine, old oak and yellowwood trees ... twigs snapping underfoot and the familiar, earthy smell of the forest. Nature in all its beauty can be a wonderful place to recharge, slow down and clear one's mind. You never know where or when a creative idea will bloom and take flight.

I will take you on a creative journey like no other.

This is a one week course on exploring nature's canvas and your imagination. We will be using fallen branches, twigs, pieces of dried wood and maybe even a leaf or two found in the forest or your garden and paint faces on them.

I will share with you my process of how I create my forest art pieces. I will show you how I draw and paint a very basic primitive face, a whimsical face and then a more realistic face ... using color, shadow and highlights to give shape, depth, character and charm to a face.

You will learn how to prepare your nature's canvas ready for painting on and how to preserve and protect your art once finished. I usually place my painted pieces back in the forest or in my garden, so making them resistant to the elements is a very important final step.

You will be using a variety of mediums to create your masterpieces, including acrylic paint, watercolor crayons, charcoal pencil, colored pencils and pens.

"Open up your creative mind to mother nature's canvas and find there are no limits to your imagination."
