I hope you are well!  

It's OCTOBER!!  Wow!  Happy fall!
I have some super exciting news!  I've been invited to teach with an amazing group of teachers on Gratitude Junk Journal 2019 Workshop, hosted by the wonderful Tiare Smith!  I am honored to be part of such an inspiring group of artists who love to share their creative joy!  

Even more exciting?!!  I get to giveaway a spot in the workshop!!  Yay!!

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!!!

I hope you are well!  Just popping by to let you know 2 new videos are up on my YouTube channel.  I hope you'll check them out!   

The first video features the lovely Rita Barakat's face drawing stencils! Yay!! 
​They are so fun and easy to use.  They're great for those days when you just don't want to draw a face, or when you are short on time, but want to fit in some art!  Check out that video here.  And, hop over to Rita's website, and show her some love! 

Video #2 is a FREE lesson from my latest Skillshare Class, Loose & Lovely Watercolor Flowers.  In this video, I'll walk you through sketching some flowers from life. I hope you will give it a try.  It may just be easier than you think!

(If you follow me on Skillshare, you may have already received this message!  I apologize!  I have no way to separate those who subscribe to both my blog and my Skillshare. Thanks for your patience!)

​Hello, dear creative friend!

I have a request for you on this beautiful December day.

I've been considering what my next class will be, and how I can best help you to achieve your art goals in the upcoming months.  I really want to tailor my classes to your needs - you are my students, and you are why I am here, doing this thing called teaching! 

Will you please help me by answering one question for me?  
Please think of my classes - loose watercolor, whimsical girls, and mixed-media art ..., and answer
If I can teach you one thing, what would it be?  What would you most like to learn next?
Ok - that's 2 questions! 
But, if you don't mind, please take a minute to leave a comment letting me know how I can help you the best way possible.  
I will take your answers and use them to decide on what to teach next!  
I truly appreciate it!!  <3

Hugs,
Jess
P. S.  Please share your thoughts freely!  I'm open to hear your ideas. :)
