Want to Watch Me Paint? Plus a Mini Studio Tour

This one has ALL the videos😁

Hey there!

How are you - I hope your creative life is thriving! I’ve been working in the studio lately and getting outside more. The weather here is really beautiful and the trails are calling!

To The Videos!

I'll admit to not really liking to watch videos (too long and and windy) but I do like making them and now we have the best kind: short videos! I’ve made a few in the last couple days and it’s going well, so far…

These 2 are one minute or less and show me applying paint and collage tissue paper:

And that studio tour I promised - a 360 degree tour of my small, but busy, workspace.

Work in Progress

Remember that preview of a Skellie with a striped ball I shared last time? It’s gone, no more, scrubbed off and painted over! Instead of a sketchbook, I tend to work out ideas on the actual pieces. It’s more interesting for me and gives them a history and layers that I think make the work more engaging. (If you want to see the interim steps, there’s a short video for that here.)

From one version to the other!

There are more things in progress - you can see them all sitting around in the tour - and I’m moving them forward as I can work out the ideas.

I’d love to hear what you’re working on and thinking about - especially your thoughts on the short videos. As always, just click reply to send me a note or head over to the new comments section and leave a comment. Either way, I love to hear from you and answer each one - see you soon!

Create Joy!
