Heya, wonderful friend!
I have a special announcement today!  I know many of you do not have a Skillshare membership, so I have been working behind the scenes to make some of my classes available on UDEMY!!  That means, you can get the course as an individual class, rather than have a subscription to a website.  Yay!!

To celebrate, you can get access to the class for FREE! 
This is a limited time offer - only 3 days!!  So don't hesitate to hop over and secure your free class.  :)  Just use the coupon code -
BLOOMS-FREE for Watercolor Abstract Blooms
BIRCHES-FREE for Watercolor Birch Trees

​You can get one or both classes - it's up to you.  If you ask me, more is better!
This is also a great opportunity to share with your arty friends!  

I hope it's not asking too much, but could you please help me get off on the right foot on Udemy by leaving a review.  That would be super helpful!!

I hope you are well!!  
I'm just popping in to let you know I have a free art journal tutorial on YouTube for you!
It's a little behind because I made it for the January color challenge in the Art Exploration group.  But, I still wanted to share!

Happy Weekend!
Jessica

Hello, my friend!!  
I have some exciting news for you today!
I've joined forces with some amazing artist friends, Kellie Chasse and Lisa Hetrick, to create a wonderful new group for you! 

Hello, my wonderful creative friend,

I hope you are well.  :)  If you are one of my Australian friends, my heart goes out to you.  I can't be there physically, but I am with you in spirit.  I am praying for you, your families, your animals, your country.  I wish I could do more.  

I think we all wish we could do more.

In light of that, I want to join Angela Fehr, and paint rain for Australia.  I watched her video today, and was very inspired to follow her example.  Along with her community of artists, she is painting rain and praying for Australia. She has links for donations, as well.  ​

Thank you for being such a supportive, encouraging, amazing, creative person! <3
xoxo,
​Jessica

Gratitude Junk Journal starts today!  I'm so excited!! 

I want you to know, ​I'm so thankful that you are following me. That you are exploring and growing and creating!  You are so generous and kind - it's amazing to have followers like you!  
To kick off these days of gratitude, I want to give a gift to all of my subscribers!  ​

Follow the link above to download the printables! :)

Feel free to use the 3 printables in your journal however you like!  They can be a great start to your page as collage, or you can print them on heavy paper to use them as pages or focal points for your journal! I hope you enjoy them!

While Gratitude Junk Journal is live this month, I will be trying to work from the daily prompts (challenge, quote or lesson) in the classroom.  I know I won't be making something every day, because, well - life - but I will be creating as I am able, and checking in with the class facebook group!   I will also be sharing over on Instagram :)

With much Gratitude,
Jessica

P. S.  If you want to join in the fun, focus on gratitude, have access to the lessons, and have live access to the teachers for the month of November, you can still sign up!  It's not too late!  You will have the lessons for life, but live access goes away at the end of November.  

   I hope you are well!!  
Fall is finally showing up here in Texas!  It's nice and cool and wonderful!  It makes me want to get outside and make art.

First off, don't forget that the Gratitude Junk Journal 2019 Workshop starts soon!!  To learn more, or sign up for the workshop, hop over here.  :)  I'm looking forward to putting a focus on gratitude, and creating mixed-media art journal pages with you!!  

Next, I have a special Skillshare announcement for you!
Plus, FREE links for classes!!  (Read ALLL the way to the bottom for the free links!)

I hope you are well!  

It's OCTOBER!!  Wow!  Happy fall!

Heya, my friends!  It's Giveaway time!!
It's my 2 year anniversary on Skillshare!  It has been such a rewarding experience.  I love seeing all of your paintings, talking with you on Instagram, and sharing watercolor and mixed-media skills with you.  You have made this an amazing 2 years! 

Let's celebrate!!  :-D

This year, I'm giving away a One-Year Premium Membership to Skillshare!!  In addition, I want to give away a Wonderful Watercolor Prize Package, and a Mini Watercolor Prize Package!  All the entries will go into a virtual hat (or maybe a literal one!), and I will draw names to determine the winners. 

Hello, my amazing creative friends!!
I hope you are well, and creating magical things!  :)
An exciting watercolor challenge is coming up in July.  
You may have heard of it - World Watercolor Month!!!
