My first acrylic painting on a canvas which I (all of a sudden) have a name for too. I recently call it Liyana because her face reminds me of my beautiful little niece of 6 months. On a tuesday I decided to go and make some artwork, I bought some canvas and acrylic paint and made some space on the kitchen table to make this wonderful painting which took me till midnight. Since that day the kitchen table was my workspace, until I was told recently to get me an other spot because at a certain point it was impossible to have dinner there:).
I am in Suzi's Petit Beginners Class and thought it would be cool to post some finished Petit Dolls. For the people who don't know who Suzi is.. Suzi Blu is a mixed media artist and she was the first who introduced me to mixed media. Below two paintings which are part of my collection "Feel Connected".
"All the little things that make you unique will make your creative endeavors unique. Put all of those little things that make you, you on your palette and Spill It!™ onto canvas."
Spill It! Revisited has it all: "Art, Love and Inspiration". Spill It! Revisited is an online workshop by mixed-media artist Carmen Torbus. Many artists already registered to her online workshop Spill It! in 2009. By many requests Carmen now once again offers you a chance to learn what she does best which is "Spill it!"
There are just a few supplies you need to get started which are paint, something to paint on, something to paint with and a possitive attitude!
The purpose of Spill It! is to learn new mixed-media techniques combined with the colors that you love, with your own personal touch, to eventually create and develop your own personal style!
The standard lessons in Spill It! Revisited will be the same as the first round, but there will be bonus content including an additional week of Discussion, Video Lessons, Discussion and free images & ephemera for your use.
As a member of this workshop you'll get a private group where you can enjoy the video lessons where Carmen herself is as exited about it as we students are! If you love art and want to learn and get some inspiration, than go get it! It will be an amazing experience for yourself and for the group. Go here to view the workshop page, you can still register.
In this video Carmen Torbus shows you what it is you can expect from her class, which is more than only making nice backgrounds. It is about an experience as well! And I am really exited to be a part of it. I think she does a really good job in inspiring her students with her video lessons. I noticed that as soon as you watch a video lesson you immediately want to get started and go ahead and Spill It! yourself.
Beside the workshops, Carmen Torbus is also writing a book! If you want to read more about Carmen Torbus or stay updated go here to visit her personal website.
Expect an update on Spill It! on my blog as I progress.
