Class starts February 15, 2017 so why not give yourself a Valentine's Day treat and take advantage of the 20% Sale Price?!
Here's the details from Tangie:
There are few things in this world I like to do more than play with my watercolors! They are a unique medium that lend themselves to ~*PLAY & EXPLORATION*~ in this class we'll dive in together to learn the basics of watercolor, including mixing our own unique signature colors, but mostly we'll be explorers! Everything I learned about watercolors was through this type of play (no stuffy rules or "right way" to do things will be found here!). I'm an artist by exploration and I wouldn't have it any other way!
"**NEW** Explorations in Watercolor Online Class"
*Save 20% for 1 week Only* (Sale extended so hurry to get the discount!)

This is the perfect class for you if:
- Are just beginning! Maybe you haven't ever picked up a brush? I know you can do this, and I'm here to help
- Are intermediate and want to see how I PLAY and explore and push myself every time I watercolor
- You like a "no rules" approach and would love for me to cheer you on every step of the way
- You need help getting over any sort of "anxiety" about doing art or feeling like you are good enough to do this, I STILL struggle with this sometimes, but I also know we were born to be creative and I can help you move forward!
The class will start February 15th, 2017, and it's on sale right NOW!
More details on the class can be found here.

The rumors are indeed true! Dave and I are going on an epic adventure in 2017! We're leaving our home of the last 7 years, selling just about everything we own and heading out to meet YOU! We're going to be traveling, teaching workshops, planning meetups, leaving art for people to find and generally just going to live life to the fullest. We are so incredibly excited about the expedition and hope that you'll check out our new website (make sure you sign up for the newsletter so you can get all the adventure updates).
We'd love to know where you live so comment below, we're planning on making so many new friends (we'll give you details about that as we work them out)!
In the meantime I'm making some HUGE changes here at TB&CO and I actually can't tell you about them all yet, it's a big secret! But, part of these changes means that I'm going to do something I've never done before! I'm having a "Buy My Store" promotion that will last a few weeks! In the past it's been limited to 10 people and it usually sold out within the first 24 hours. This time I want to make sure everyone has a chance! You will get an AMAZING amount of digital goodies (YAY!) and you'll also be helping us get our new home/studio on wheels so we can get out there and bring workshops to a city near you!
There are two options to choose from. This special promotion will be available at least until August 31st.
Essentials is for those of you who want all the collage sheets, kits and other digital goods but aren't interested in taking classes. This option is $100 (see details in the store).
The WHOLE SHEBANG is for those of you who want it ALL! Classes, The Vault, collage sheets, kits, brushes, printables, well...everything! This option is $200 (see details in the store).
I hope to "see" you soon!

I know, I know, I know. EVERYONE says it, but it's so true, there is absolutely no denying it. Practice makes perfect, or perhaps more accurately? Practice makes improvement. As you you've heard me talk about before, I don't consider myself a "natural born" artist at least as far as drawing is concerned, but I'm always wanting to improve. See, I enjoy drawing...a lot. So I decided recently that I need to heed my own advice and that of others and actually make sure I'm practicing. I challenged myself to draw 100 faces in a month (I'm hoping I can do it in much less time than that). Why faces? Because I fear them, and I feel like if I can get "faces" down anything else will be easy breezy! What do you want to be better at? What do you enjoy doing that doesn't come easy for you? Put some practice in and you'll see some improvement.
Face 1 is using all watercolor which I found extremely difficult, so I slowly started adding in Inktense pencils by Derwent as I painted more and more faces, whoa--I LOVE THEM! I'm having so much fun, and just finished Face #47 (I'd say there was some improvement between #1 & #47 wouldn't you?).
A few weeks ago as I was recording the weekly Vlog for the Art Journal Emporium, I said something that struck me as quite profound later. I simply said "I'm not sick, I'm just having trouble with my voice today.". I realized that there is some deep symbolism in that about art journaling. We use journaling and art when we are having trouble with our voice. Perhaps today instead of focusing on "Discover the Artist within you!" we should say "Discover the Voice within you!". Try creating an art journal page today with some journaling, digging deep to see if there is something you are having trouble saying and just let it out.
This page doesn't have a lot of journaling on it, but it helped me realize that I'm trying to learn how to live from my heart instead of from my to do lists. Powerful journaling in just a few words.
PS! Newsletter subscribers get to read these posts first (minus the images), make sure you are signed up [here].
It's Memorial Day Weekend! And that means an extra day of art play!
