The Best Deal on Online Art Classes: Art Bundle for Good!

 

"Looking for beauty we find beauty.  Looking for violence we find violence.  Beauty may be found amidst squalor, violence hidden in good deeds.  'Seek and ye shall find,' the Bible says, and it is often true.  Only a deep inquiry into our own hearts reveals the direction that is right."

-Roberta Weir



While we now have kitties living at Studio Alchemy I am seriously starting to miss our in-person art classes!  But good news if you are interested in improving your art skills you can sign up for Art Bundle for Good....


I was honored to be invited to contribute my class "Creative Art Journaling" to Art Bundle for Good.  It is an amazing package deal of online art classes. There are more than 75 artists contributing art courses and resources with a value of over $4000!  You can learn from a wide variety of teachers all from the comfort of home.

In addition 25% of the profits from the sale are going of Courageous Kitchen, a Bangkok based charity helping refugees.

Art Inspiration: Finding your Creative Voice

 

Hands Creating, Oil on Canvas, Vita 2019

"Spirit and energy should be clear as the night air;
In the soundless is the ultimate pleasure all along."
-Sun Buer

I dreamed recently that I was on a stage talking to a crowd of people.  They couldn't hear me and asked me to speak louder.  I started shouting and felt liberated to finally be heard.

Are there things you'd like to say with your creative voice?  

If so I've created a new free lecture for you:

Simply go to my online art classes site: https://the-alchemy-of-painting.teachable.com/courses and register for free.

The Studio Alchemy Gallery: Before and After

For years I have dreamed of creating an art studio where painters can gather, support each other, make a mess and grow together.  I wanted for my students and I to have a warm environment that feels like home. 

And now we have it!  You can join us for upcoming classes by registering at:

http://studioalchemy.art/studioalchemygallery/

After much searching I found a perfect spot in a historic building that is being renovated.  We are calling the space Studio Alchemy because Alchemy was the medieval study of scientific transformation.  When artists create they are transforming materials into something new.  

This new studio has also been transformed by Boaz Construction Company!  

Here are the before and after pictures...
