Here's a VIDEO inspired by The Sketchbook Challenge blog hop and its theme "Houses and Hideaways."
There's a fabulous blog hop going on over at The Sketchbook Challenge. If you missed some of the posts, go here to catch up.
Oh, and by the way, my online classes are open for registration! Sketching & Watercolor: Journal Style and Sketching & Watercolor in a Mixed Media Journal. Leave a comment on which class you'd like to take, and I'll choose one person for a FREE scholarship for each online class! Check back here on October 2nd when I announce the winners!
You have such a variety of styles that you create. It always looks so lively and colorful. I would love to try another one of your workshops. Thank you for offering this.
ReplyDeleteJane - these stamps are fabulous and so inspiring. I love the stitching - wonderful idea. Any of your classes would be a joy to take. Thank you for this generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your free class at Strathmore. Would love to take the mixed media class.Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, firstly your work is truly inspirational! I just love it! I started following the Sketchbook Challenge at the beginning of the month after deciding to overcome my thoughts of not being artistic (stick figures count as art, right?) I'd love to join your Sketching & Watercolor: Journal Style class - being online is perfect for me as I'm all the way in Australia :) Either way I'll definitely be following your blog.

Your little houses stamps are wonderful Jane, they work so well for mixed media.
ReplyDeleteI am fairly new to watercolour and have recently fallen in love with journalling. If I was lucky enough to take one of your classes I would choose the sketching and watercolour journalling one, I think I could learn so much from it.
Best wishes, Lynne
What a fun tutorial! You've inspired me to get out my stamp carving things and get busy. I'd be delighted to win a free scholarship to Sketching and Watercolor in a Mixed Media Journal. Thanks so much for offering the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Helen
Would love to take your sketching and watercolor in a mixed media journal. Your art is wonderful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love your carved stamps! Both of your classes look wonderful. I do have some sketching experience, but could use some more instruction. I would choose the sketching & watercolor journal style class.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take the mixed media class. I got a lot out of the sketching when we were in Taos. I would like to extend that. Janet Wright, Wa.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane! Love your stamps! I'm already signed up for the Mixed Media class and can hardly wait. If I win, would like to either share it with a friend or use it for later. At any rate, see you in class! Donna
ReplyDeleteI like your stamped houses very much. I find your work great fun to look at and to make some of your ideas my own! Thank you. I have taken both of your workshops and have learned and had a terrific time. Take care and stay well.
ReplyDeleteSketching and Watercolor Journal Style. This sounds really great and would be a good class. Thanks for offering a scholarship chance. Susann
ReplyDeleteWhat I love is the outline shapes from the stamp. It makes the houses look animated like they are rockin! How fun!
ReplyDeleteJane,your houses are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI only recently started to keep a sketchbook and learn myself to draw. I would love to be able to better draw what I see around me so your Sketching & Watercolor: Journal Style class would be perfect for me.

Hmm, that is a hard decision, which class I would like to take. I want to take them both! But since I am a novice, probably the watercolor journal one would be best. Thanks for a chance to win a slot!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Kate
Everything you do is an inspiration! I love your brain! Thank you so much for this post.
ReplyDeleteI love your work. Thank you for offering a class drawing from life. Seems much of the online classes are not from life. Would love the opportunity to study with you.
ReplyDeleteJane- what fun! Thanks for sharing your stamps- I have always wanted to try- maybe I will try carving one now. I would love to take your Sketching and Watercolor Journal Style- always best to start at the beginning! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteDear Jane, I would prefer Sketching & Watercolor in a Mixed Media Journal because I want to learn something new. Your nature page is gorgeous - thank you for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who took your Sketching & watercolor journal style class, I dream of creating journals like hers (and yours) so uniquely your own. She said it was a great class, I'd love to try it for myself.
ReplyDeleteMixed media for me. I loved your original Journal Style class and would love to learn some new techniques.
ReplyDeleteThe Mixed Media Journal class sounds wonderful. I love experimenting with different materials and working on my drawing skills.

ReplyDeleteJane, I've admired your work from afar. I've been attempting to art journal for quite some time; only recently, after checking out your Strathmore class, have I seen a significant growth in my abilities and am seeing my journal pages becoming filled with not only sketches, paint and words -- but also now my personality! I'd be honored to attend either one of your classes offered - Kate
