It's April?! Happy April 1st!

Hey sweet friends! Its been like two weeks since I posted last.  NOT because I haven't wanted to, but man oh man we have been crazy busy! With the sale that we did, with getting ready for my new workshop that starts in ONE WEEK!! and just getting house stuff done so maybe possibly we can move in before summer (please oh please.. we bought this house almost a year ago! lol.. I SOO want to move in before summer..)

It's just been crazy busy.  BUt isn't life?  So today is April 1st.. My kids always love this day because they think it's the day they can pull any prank they wish on us and not get into trouble. lol. I guess that is true right? My husband is like a little kid as well, always coming up with some funny joke to play on me.  I am still trying to think of something I can pull on my kids.. it's so hard because a few years ago we got them SOO good. I mean like crazy good. We sat them down and told them that we had been called on a mission by our Church (We are LDS), To serve as mission president over a area in China and we would be moving to china in 3 months for 2 years. It's not uncoomon for our Church to ask a husband to serve as  mission president over a mission area, with that, the entire family goes with him. It's at his own expense as well, and ben I would have always dreamed about the possiblities of us doing it. Anyhow, so We were video recording it and oh my heck.. you should have seen the response! I thought I was going to to pee my pants from trying to hold in the laughter. Some of them were like.. oh cool! that's awesome (the younger ones). But the three older one, freaked out! Told us how they didn't want to go, leave their friends, leave their small town life, Braden leave, and not get to play football for the last 2 years of high school.. Allie having to leave all of her friends and we were so mean. We  kept a straight face the entire time and kept saying how cool it was going to be and how in 2 week ben and I were going over to China to find us a place to live. We told them lots of made up stuff.. lol. But still the more we talked about it, the more the older ones resisted and then allie started crying and ran off to her room,  Braden sat with his arms folded and head in his lap refusing to speak to us, Parker was freaking out.. and So we finally let them in on the joke. We told them we were just kidding and we weren't really going to china.. and it was April Fools. THEN the funniest thing is that Preston stood up, started crying and ran off.. and said "that's so mean! I thought we were really going and now we aren't!" and then Ethan got upset we weren't either and ran off. The whole time we were recording it and oh my gosh we watch it back now and we all just laugh until our stomach hurts from the drama.. the crying the slamming doors.  SO funny. So yeah pretty much since then, it's been hard to pull one over on them.

Anyhow. totally random story. :) Welcome to my life! lol

So speaking of what I have been doing these past couple of weeks, like I mentioned I have been filming and getting ready for my biggest Solo workshop yet! Behind the Art!  I have to say, this is turning out to be a REALLY fun workshop for me to film. Its actually fun for ME to break fown my process, step by step, product by product. It really has been! I am So enjoying it and actually getting a lot out of it myself!   if you haven't signed up for it.. I thought I would come and re-post about it.. you still have one week before it starts.. so plenty of time to still join..

So here's a sneak peek of what's in store!

 

 

 

Behind the Art is an ecourse workshop . This workshop is a 5 week workshop!!

This class start April 9th! 

I am TRULY TRULY passionate, excited, and giddy about this workshop because I have to say it will be my most comprehensive workshop yet as far my creating process, what products I use, WHY i used the products, HOW i use them, and more!

I will also have a few "guests" in this workshop that will give some insight into THEIR creating process as well! My Guest will be Danielle Daniel, Nolwenn PetitBois,  and Junelle Jacobson! 

 will be all about WHAT products I use. I will go through very detailed videos on each individual of 12 product categories. Surfaces, Covering,  Glues, Paints, Mediums, Inks, Sprays, Marking Tools, Shading Tools, Stamps, Stencils, Detail Pens & Pencils, And Extras

 I will share with you what they are, what their properties are AND WHY I use them. What instance I would use them in. For example.. why I would use transparent paint vs. opaque.. for a certain look, or in what instances I would choose opaque! I talk about permanent vs. no permanent and the values and GOOD qualities of both.

 

I talk about the primary colors both in Mineral Colors and Modern colors, what the difference is, why one is sometimes better than the other. I will talk about the values, Hues and densities of Paint. Why some paints mix better together than others.

 Why sometimes a of one kind of paint.. goes much further than a LOT of another. I really go in depth of the art products I use in my creating AND WHY I use them. There will be some videos on creating as well, as i show you what I mean by why I use sometimes one product over another.

 It will be a GREAT resource guide for you FOR ANY of my other workshops I teach. Or any other workshops period! 

 

 will be about HOW I used the products I talk about in Week one. I show you tons and tons of techniques, and how to get Similar looks using different products.

 I show you all the possibilities there are when it comes to using the products.. and hopefully some fun OUT OF THE BOX Ideas you haven't seen before!

This week is really in depth about how to use the products for creating. Lots artsy messy videos.

 

 is about digging IN.. 

This is where the creative process gets REALLY fun. I will show you in depth, how I create, what I call the "backgrounds" of my pieces.

I will show many different background process. from start to finish. I will walk you through EACH move and tell you WHY i am adding this color, what I just used that size of stamp where i used it.. Why I am covering up something I just put down,

Why I change the color of something as the process develops. It will truly by a IN DEPTH look at my creative process!

 

 we will take those same backgrounds and then we will finish them by adding objects and all the fun little DETAILS that make it Yours.

 (I will be painting anything from a girl, to a bunny, a butterfly, a dress, a house etc).. but remember it's not so much WHAT i am painting, but the process of it .. how what and why!

Again.. where I place the object and why. Also once the objects is on the canvas, WHY i then add things to the object, or the backgrounds. Why I choose to cover some things up. I will talk about Contrast, depth and color hues.Different techniques i like to use to make certain things stand out.. why sometimes I want others to fade into the background.

Why some products work better than others for different techniques and several different methods I use to get the end result!  Just like week three I will walk you step by step my process, why I did something and why it worked (or didn't) 

 

 

is going to be the challenge week. This is the week when I will give you a series of challenges using all the information you have learned over the last 5 weeks.

I will be doing the challenges as well, and also some of our guests will be doing them too! So lots of fun videos with artsy messy play! It's now time for YOU to have fun, for you to create, to explore, to mess up, to have "oh i love this" moments! It's TIME TO STRETCH THOSE WINGS!!!!

I have to say THIS WORKSHOP is soo soo close to my heart. I have never done a workshop where I actually share my entire process of creating. It's kinda of a scary thing, to open up your heart the wide and let people in. So this workshop is a HUGE leap for me.. an exciting, giddy.. nervous leap! lo. and because this workshop is SOO Large and full of so much information...

This workshop will be open for 2 FULL years! That way, when you are taking other courses.. mine or even other artist.. you can always come back to this one for reference when creating!

This workshop will be FILLED with videos and printable PDF"s so you can take the information you learn and use it while you get messy.

SO ARE YOU READY?? 

hope you join me in the exciting, heart filled class. I hope you that by taking this class, it will open up an ENTIRE new world for you of possibilities. Both in creating AND in your finding your own unique voice! This class will Catapult you as an artist.. taking everything you've ever learned to an entirely NEW level. If you are really wanting to move forward in your creative endeavors.. this class is PERFECT place to start! It's time to Open your Heart!
