An amazing opportunity...

Do you art journal?Do you know what art journaling is?If you look up art journaling online, you will find a description similar to this:

An art diary, art journal or visual journal is a daily journal kept by artists, often containing both words and sketches, and occasionally including mixed media elements such as collages.

Is this something you do already?

Is it something you'd like to start doing?

Here is the PERFECT opportunity to get started, or to light your creative fire for the new year!

I have an amazing friend. Her name is Effy Wild.  And, she has asked me to be a teacher in a collaborative e-offering called Book of Days 2019 (BOD2019).  

Here's what it is...

• An e-course for every stage of artist, from beginner to expert

• If you don't have a journal to work in already, Effy will teach you how to make your very own

• You will get in depth, step-by-step tutorials from Effy herself (at least 12!) and...

• In-depth lessons from 13 of Effy's "All-Stars" - All of her favorite art journal artists

• plus - at least 12 lessons from the "Rising Stars" - Effy's favorite newly emerging teachers

• with every lesson you can get support from the teacher and a full-length PDF you can print to have on hand - forever!

• Access to a private Facebook group where you can post your progress, ask questions, and make friends with tons of other art journalists!

• You will get an interview done with each and every artist in the program - that's exciting!

Here's the lovely introduction from Effy's site for me: I’m a Virginia Mama (and grandma now, too!). I live with our 14 year old son, husband, 2 cats and 1 huge dog. I grew up in Northern Idaho and Southern Arizona. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English (which I finished almost 25 years after I started!). Luckily, I’ve mostly been a stay-at-home mom. I struggle with major anxiety and depression, which I find hinders and helps my art. I get comments regularly like, “Your girls look so sad!” or “why aren’t they ever smiling?” I find that every face I produce has it’s own personality, and, like actual people, aren’t always portrayed with a huge smile. (I get accused of having a serious RBF!) I have always loved creating things, but really didn’t start arting seriously about 6 years ago. There are a ton of ways to produce art, but I think my favorite is with graphite and acrylics.  I am self-taught (well, I have watched many artists work, taken hundreds of classes, but no professional training).  I have many artistic influences which include Effy Wild, Tam LaPorte, Jane Davenport, and Kara Bullock (just a few of my favs!).
“My art journal is the place I know I can create, quickly, or in a longer process, and it really doesn’t matter if there are “mistakes”. If worst comes to worst, I can turn the page and start fresh.  I have learned from lessons with Effy that the background matters, so I have really taken to using song lyrics and phrases to scribble in the background. It adds so much emotion and really brings the entire piece together.”
I love Cary because she has an immediately identifiable style that comes across so clearly to my eyes. Her portraits are deceptively simple, beautiful, and meaningful. She brings a wealth of humour to the table as a teacher as well!
