Hiya :)

Chalkola geneoursly sent me a 32-set of their acrylic paints!  They were fun to try :)
Here's a video, plus some pics.

Heya, creative friend,
​
I have a few free tutorials to share with you today. :) Plus, a few pics of some art exploration.

I hope you are well!  Sending lots of love and light your way, for sure!

It's still May, so that means, we are still exploring GREEN in our private color exploration group over on Facebook! (You are more than welcome to join me there.)

I didn't realize how much I actually like green until we started playing with it as part of the challenge. I was so happy playing with green, that I kept going!  Once I finished my watercolor in greens, I went on to create an art journal page with greens.  Don't you just love getting in that creative flow!!  Bliss!!

Here's the process video:

I hope you are well!
Just stopping in to let you know that I have a free lesson from my class, Whimsical Faces: 5 Minutes of Faces, over on YouTube!  I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Creating!

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.
