Shift Your Core Academy

Painting birds this week. Last year it was berries and rose hips. 3 years ago I could not even imagine drawing either let alone painting and having this beautiful studio to create. If you are looking for space that inspires and helps you feel grounded this it. I’m posting more in person classes this year if anyone local is looking for space or mentorship on your art filled journey. And we’ll continue into our 4th year of weekly online watercolour Paint Circle.

Happy with the way this turned out. It looks like glass. We did this in our online weekly workshop! We’re here every week if you want to join in online. Link to ShiftYourCore.com

Reading “The Artist’s Way” and found this quote that resonates.

This pattern reminds me of the coffered ceilings in Italy where master artists used shading and diagonal shapes to trick the eye of depth of field making the ceiling look like there was crown moulding when it was completely flat. That’s what this one does for me. I designed it to cover a chair or love seat with a soft plush fabric. The first of many pieces for a makeover of the retreat suite.

Creating what I see. Beautiful ferns pop from everywhere this time of year. Great pattern for a comfy cushion!

This happened by mistake but I really like it. Exited that I made this!

We’re painting my orchid this week for our watercolour group. It keeps blooming every year and what a fascinating design to recreate! Maybe you can paint with us this week?

Dream Catcher Art. This would make a cute repeating pattern digitally. Stay tuned! I’m going somewhere I thought I never would!

Having fun with my new palette of beautiful creamy colours. This kit is for the traveling artist so off I go to the beach!

Pattern creation has made me a bit obsessive about it. My brain is happy learning something new!

Happy St Patrick’s Day! This is Rock of Cashel in Ireland we visited many years ago and our subject for our watercolour class this week “3 Sheep and a Castle”. Lot’s of fun online with people from all over! Thanks for joining in everyone.
