My beautiful friend @Heather Boers has taught me how wonderful games are. So we are going to dip our toe in the water so to speak with a game. Post an image. 🖼️. Any image. It can be a drawing, a wood burning, a painting, your diamond art or even a 10 second pig stick figure. The rest of us must guess if that image is YOUR creation or not your creation. 👍🏻 - to vote if you think YES 👎🏻 - to vote if you think it’s NOT their art. ___________________ ‼️ HERE IS WHAT’s IMPORTANT ‼️ ‼️‼️YOUR VOTE‼️‼️ I will choose one winner that really participated who really voted on the others images. and they get a FREE month of Premium on me! That’s access to the painting library with the complete step-by-step instructions to paint the reference image of your choice.

Smoothies - I love them but oil paints DO NOT. Oil paints like to SPOON like 2 lovers AFTER coitus. 🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟 🫟 🫟 Oil paints are funny 🫟 They like touching 🫟 But not blending 🫟 🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟🫟 One of the biggest beginner challenges is over blending. Which is so hard because the paint is so luscious It just BEGS to be blended! Back and forth, Back and forth, back and forth lIke windshield wipers. In class yesterday, I talked a bit more about how important it is to keep the colors separated. This is a KEY element to not making mud with oil paints. The system I teach, we mix precise colors, and we lay them next to each other. Only a TINY bit of blending after the paint has set for a little bit. Check out the new lesson in the classroom HERE. Complete with subtitles and a PDF of all of the notes.

Now is the time to take your paints out of the freezer @Janice Peterson Today we will learn to mix paint and apply it specifically for THIS reference image submitted by @Janice Peterson Can you join us again? @Rebecca Martin @Christine Ross @Fefe Gong @Lisa Vanderveen Check your calendar for your timezone. YES, you CAN paint this! Anyone is also welcome to come on in. Come as you are, see how I teach and if it’s right for you. All replays are in the Premium classroom.

You asked, I took action. As our Premium students have been going thru the classroom, they asked for subtitles and PDF class notes. Now, you can read AND watch and, if you don’t want to keep hitting the rewind button, there is a PDF document with the painting lesson that you can also read. It has the color mixes, brush list and everything that was discussed in the FREE LIVE zoom session. Check it out HERE.
