I taught this colored pencil class at my 20th HOOT Convention this past week. It really defines my career as a decorative artist. It was the first convention I ever attended, shopping at first, buying all I could carry and treasuring each aisle of goods with anticipation. I started exhibiting my own designs 2 years later and then teaching a couple years after that. I have run the gamut of classes - drawing, business, pen and ink, creativity, sketching, acrylics, colored pencils and now, mixed media. I love the enthusiasm of students, the energy they bring into each and every class and the certain look they get when they finally "get it!" It is a thrilling exchange I have been blessed to witness over and over again for the past 15 years, one I will cherish for a lifetime. If you have ever been in one of my classes, thank you for letting me into your creative world if even just for a couple hours together, I am forever grateful!
Love this piece! Will you be selling it as a packet or online lesson?

ReplyDeleteKelly, having had the privilege of taking a few of your classes, I can say that you have such a big heart and gentle spirit. It is impossible to get stressed in your classes because of that. I admire that you stretch your wings and grow and take us on that journey with you. Congratulations for having such a blessed career that brings you so much joy!
