There's so much to say today that it's difficult to know where to begin. The exciting news is that I've enrolled in, and just started on, a new e-course - Make Art That Sells, run by the amazing Lilla Rogers. We've barely begun, yet inspiration is already soaring after an exploration of the lovely creative worlds of my talented fellow students.
Here's an icon created specially to celebrate going back to school. The fact that Lilla Roger's logo fits just right in the spot where i had my little house seems particularly apt:
Started working on mini-assignments and thought I'd share some of the in-progress steps here, followed by photos of my reorganized workspace ...
First up, playing with different styles and mediums while sketching mushrooms and vintage pyrex casserole dishes:
Next, drawings of pyrex casseroles ... what I loved most about this exercise is the fact that we actually had some of these dishes when I was growing up. Wish I still had them now ...
You might recall the photos taken of my Creative Workspace at the beginning of the year, here. The studio area had to be completely reorganized soon after, so it was moved into a different area and this is the result (these pics were taken just before working on the assignment, which is why you see the row of lined up button mushrooms posing for the sketches!):
I love learning new things, it's a lifetime occupation really. This e-course is already teaching me to perceive and create in different ways, so I know I'm going to thoroughly enjoy every minute of it. Will be posting updates along the way ...
Wishing you a day full of fun creativity. Cheers.
