I just finished a free online course that is perfect for art teachers who want a structured course to introduce students to graphic design. The tutorial starts with an introduction and a total of 14 lessons, art exercises, and downloadable images!

We need more artists in this world. Creating the course was a labor of love. There’s no catch! Its free.

These pieces are Step 2 of a 4 Step process I’ve been learning this week. I’ve been participating in a workshop from Judy Woods and playing with her process that she is teaching. It’s been really enjoyable and easy to get out of my own way — I’ve not even overthought anything (ok - maybe a couple of those collage pieces…)

A first paint layer for some more sunflowers 🌻I painted some last summer and it’s still one of my favorite paintings. Not trying to replicate with this one, but would like to capture a similar feel and vibe still.

I love finding art play days with friends or family that have little or no experience, but hold an appreciation for art and beauty, and then expose them to a way they can get they can be an artist, too!

My niece-in-law (whose 40+) and was reluctant gave in and we did a dirty pour acrylic, wine and art eve.

This was after I finished watching House of Dragons series, so wow, I was quite delighted to see a big dragon in this image. Can you see it?

@Curator Thanks for asking! So far I love the space because I feel safe to post. Still learning how to build community, but so far a delightful experience.. If engagement translates into interest in my art, well … that’s a bonus! I love that we can shine light on each other without negativity.

I’m currently updating the SandyBreckenridge.com/shop page and this image displays some #landscape art on a few home items.

I like to #createeveryday Some days its #remodeling, others its #upcycling or #repurposing materials and making something cool. #learning is a #superpower

Since my #introduction, I’m still learning this system. Last post I choose cw, but see its a disclosure for sensitive content vs a post introduction. Here’s the painting if you missed it cause its so sweet!

A papercut style #digitalpainting of our #lovebird. I think I’ll keep working on it and make it our Christmas card for 2022!
