Behind the Art.. She Art girl..

AHH this is an awesome week.. can I just tell you? Loved spending time in California with the family.. had a WONDERFUL surprise from my dear friend shea.. who saw that we were in Newport on Easter weekend and on the spur of the moment.. invited us (all 8 of us) to her own families easter dinner and celebration! I think our kids doubled what they already had coming! lol  but seriously so gracious and SOO just what we needed!! THANK YOU SHEA!! (and Robert and Debbie!)

People kept asking us what we plans we had for California.. and honestly we had NONE. each day we would wake up and say.. okay what sounds fun today? The kids mainly loved playing in the pool and then we spent a day at the beach. But all in all it was just some serious laid back family bonding time!

Anyhow.. today I wanted to share with you a Behind the Art Video I did for Somerset Studios! Its a She ARt girl.. which if you know.. I haven't really ever done a video about those.. mainly because I also have a workshop that teaches them.. but it's a fun little video and maybe if you are on the fence of whether or not you should take She ARt.. this might give you the extra bit of confidence you need to take it! :)

AND speaking of workshops! I need to announce the winners of the 5 people who won access to my newest workshop.. Your Living Canvas! Totally spaced all of that from last week! AND also we have already started the pre-course facebook group page for those of you who have signed up! Remember that you have access to that right now! :) yeah! PLUS you still have the Payment Option plan to pay in two equal payments.. you can read all about it HERE.

ALSO A HUGE Question I KEEP GETTING asked about this course.. IS THERE ART INSTRUCTION AND PROJECTS INCLUDED IN THIS COURSE?

the asnwer is YES!!!! Of course!!! lol..

each week you will not only be taught a fun new art technique that is not taught in any of my other workshops, BUT we will also take what we have learned from that week's exercise and put it into either an art journal, on canvas or another project. EACH week will have it's own separate art techniques and projects. SO LOTS AND LOTS Of art :) 

So the winners for this class ARE..

[Shary]

Love it thanks for another great video. I'm learning so much on the She Art workshop and really enjoying it!!!

[Gutsy Arts Girl]

Maybe because I have taken the SHE ART course (still am referring to the vids - love them!)- but I think this video is terrific for texture building. In fact, I watched your video in 21 Secrets on texture which was amazing and I am still loving this video here. Point being - I think as we allow ourselves to be immersed in our creativity, we can be inspired over and over again through techniques - because we see something else - we have personal references with our own work. SOOOOOOOOOOO glad art is a practice - a play, a consistent effort that brings more beauty into the world.
Your work is so lovely Christy. THANKS for this FREE wonderful instructional video.

so lovely as always!!! xoxo

I love how you create so many different textures, this is a gorgeous piece of She Art. I'm glad you had a lovely Easter weekend.

[Camille]

I have been loving all of your classes. Bought She Art on March 22 and still have not goten info on access to that class. Still waiting.

[Jill Green]

Having taken She Art 1 and 2, I can still say that I never tire of watching you create yours. I am amazed at the amount of color and detail you put into your backgrounds yet the girls don't get lost at all. I am learning to be braver with my own backgrounds but not there yet. Love watching you create, Christy.

[Nathalie]

Christy- so glad you had a great vacation with the family... I am sure after the 10 days in NC away from them, it was much needed....

[Trish Bee]

Lovely video, can I say a big thanks for taking the time to actually write down on the sketchbook what tools you was using. Im deaf and cannont hear what is normally said in art video's which is very frustrating for me. So you made my day when I saw the visual aids onscreen....Arty Captioning Rocks!

[Erin]

Love seeing you create a piece with texture and a She Art Girl. Love it!!

[donnalee]

gorgeous fun, very clever...thank you much for sharing! blest be :)

This was a fun video to watch. I had to laugh a little bit because every time I thought you were "finished" you kept adding layers and layers of more stuff. LOL!! I am trying to add more "layers" to my own art and often times I get STUCK after just putting on color and a stamp or two. Thanks for showing me that adding more is OKAY. I have a hard time thinking that adding layers doesn't necessarily make a piece look busy - I have to get beyond that thinking. I absolutely LOVE the look but each time I sit down to create I just can't seem to get in the BUILDING phase of layering. Thank you for the video!

[Melissa]

I love this video. Thank you for posting it again. So many fun colors and textures!!

[Sally Penning]
