the homebody journal

If there is one important thing that I've learned from all my years of making art, it's that creativity doesn't require you to travel to far away places, you don't need a studio, lots of money or fancy supplies. So often inspiration exists in our everyday lives.

With so many of us staying at home and simplifying our lives, I wanted to create a class where I share my favorite ways to use your home, your yard and the simple things in your day as fuel for creativity. My hope is show you that even when things are limited, there is still a world of possibility when it comes to art.

In this class we will be using an art journal to explore all kinds of prompts, mixed media techniques and exercises .

We will be working through 1 lesson a day for 30 days. I will be sharing all kinds of concepts-we will explore color inspired by your surrounding, expressive still life spreads, playing with pattern and texture found around your home, photo prompts, collage pages, using cracks in the sidewalk as inspiration for line drawings, doodles based on your routine, abstraction, illustration and more. 

My hope is to inspire you to find inspiration at home and in your everyday life!
