...and I wanted to run it by you, here and on Facebook.
I've been in a bit of a dry spell with my sketching, though I have indeed done more than I've shared online. I've been involved with other creative endeavors, of course, eco-dyeing, sewing, creating my little fae poppets, but art journaling, not so much, and it shows. Some of my sketches are downright bad!

| Lavender and Rose Mary |
 |
| The girls...polymer and fabric |
 |
| Studious and Joyful |
 |
| Faena Fawkes, who started me on this road... |
 |
| And then there's sewing and eco-dyeing... |
 |
| And MORE eco-dying, of papers and cloth, for small journals... |
There are a number of contributing factors when we lose our mojo...materials, time, circumstances, practice, tools...but June 2, as I did yet another sketch I didn't like much, I wrote in my journal "I think I need to take my own Quicksketch 1 class!"
I think I want to revisit those factors and try to sort it out a bit.
So. The idea kind of took hold. What if I DID, what if I went through the class week by week as it is delivered to those who sign up for it. What if some of you wanted to take it WITH me? What if we discussed it here, and on Facebook?
Any interest?
Let me know...I was thinking I might start August 1. Anybody wanna join me?
I'd love to see your comments and questions, below.
I would love that opportunity. Pat Spencer
ReplyDeleteI can always use an incentive. I’m much too easily distracted by the nonimportant.
ReplyDeleteGoing through a very rough time right now; but your work and your classes have always left me feeling better. So, yes. (depending on cost)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're having a rough time, Karen! It won't really be a class, so I was just thinking those who bought the self-directed mini-class for $30 could join me here.
DeleteYes! I would be interested to learn from you Cathy. I have long admired your skills and art ❤️
ReplyDeleteI’d like to join you, Cathy. This might be just what I need to get me past the anxiety I’ve been feeling when 8 sit down to create. My email: tina.maloney@me.com
ReplyDeleteThat was supposed to be “I’ve been feeling anxiety when I…
DeleteI understand, and hope this helps all of us, Tina!
DeleteHi Kate! I'm in the same funk since we got back from our trip and my husband had a stint placed, and since we got a smaller RV (one that I can drive so we still can travel a bit), and trying to sell our large motorhome. I took your online classes when I first started to learn sketching and watercolor -- I'd love to join you -- a 'restart' is definitely needed ... HUGS my friend!
ReplyDeleteCan you find your original QS 1 lessons, Lin? (Or is that what you meant? I know you were one of my first online interactive students, too!) If so just use those and join us August 1. If you can't find them, I'll need to unsubscribe you from the list and re-add you.
DeleteSo sorry about your sweet husband! I'm glad you'll still be able to travel some, and hugs right back!
That sounds great! Just what I'm needing. I'd love to do this with you.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like something I need but how would it work?
ReplyDeleteHi Barb! People would buy the Quick Sketching 1 mini-class I linked to above, then we'll all start on August 1 to go through the lessons together week by week. Perhaps here on my blog, or I'll make a Facebook group, or both--I need to decide! If you already have the class, you'll still be welcome to join us for discussions, sharing, question...
DeleteI would so, so LOVE to do this with you. I'm drawing a lot but a reset, a back to first-principles: always great. Say how/when, I'm in! Do I just buy the class and we're ready to go? Will we set a timeframe to do it in so we are kinda in synch as a class?
ReplyDeleteHi Suhita! That would be so fun! Yes, people will either buy the class or get out the lessons if they already own it. Then we'll all start August 1, and discuss the lessons weekly as we work on them. Does that sound workable?
DeleteSounds great. I am a beginner; would this be appropriate for me?
ReplyDeleteI think so, Megan...I'm keeping it simple on purpose!
