Hello Everyone,
I’m not sure how many of you open your newsletters, but thank you if you did on this one.
I know I am very much in touch with our BSA Club members , as we meet weekly & we have discussions on everything which is happening , but I also am aware that anyone of you with a free membership here are also waiting for news, and I’m sorry I haven’t written here for a minute.
Not everyone has time to read what I’ve been up to for the past 6 weeks, so I thought why not make a list. Everyone likes a list. l’ll make sure to link any related valuable information and Substack friends.
So, here it goes:
1.🌟Weekly in my BSA Club, we have 2 co-working sessions and 3 Live YouTube demos.(the replays can be found in the Monthly Challenge Padlet - August is a month of Portraits.
2.🌟CLASSES:
🎨My good friend Jennifer Caloyeras has a Gelli Plate workshop THIS Wednesday. CLick HERE to register.
🎨 MY NEW class “ Seeing In Shapes & Values” is open for registration - it starts on Monday August 31st. A four week long class, 2 ×2 hour lessons each week and then a 1.5 hour complete and review each week. This class is going to bring very unexpected results.😌
🌟Please message me for Discount coupons if you’re part of my BSA Club Family , you get 20% OFF and if you’re travelling with me, you’ll get a 40% OFF code.
🎨I was LIVE on Substack today with Emma Carpendale - you may have missed it. Love Emma’s respect and appreciation of Nature makes you think and pause in your own footsteps. Thank you Emma.
I worked on the piece below. It was created with acrylic markers in the Ugly Books sketchbook. It’s taken from a photo of the beautiful forests around here. If you drew with us, please add an image below in the comments.
🌟 4. I recently got these acrylic Markers. Head over to my YT channel to see me demo-ing on different sketchbooks. let me know which sketchbook you prefer.
🌟 5. Recently I signed up to a couple of snail mail clubs, because I love receiving mail(who doesn’t?) and what better way than to support friends.
Check them out - H Maria Armijo ’s Lucky Letter Club & Teresa Barroso ’s Slow Mail Club
✈️6. I have to include my Art and sketchbook retreats happening this year and next 😌Perhaps one of you would like to join us, you definitely don’t have to be an expert in the Art World, but have a curiosity to learn and love to travel.
🌟I have spots remaining for all of them. (Just a few) Click on the links below for all the details. All my retreats welcome solo travellers as well as groups and couples.
