The Connected Artist Club will be opening up soon, but I want to give you the chance to get some inside scoops and find out more. So over the next few days I’m going to be sharing some of the three key areas which I know are important if you want to grow and expand as an artist.

I’ll also be giving you a rather nifty (slightly geeky done-for-you) tool to help.

If you’ve got an email from me - all good! Make sure you click the YES link in it to get the rest.

[ 📩 the email will come from SoulRocketStudio so check for that, not my personal art email ❗️]

Let me know if you’ve got it Ok and guess what the photographer was saying 🙌😀

If this sounds intriguing then go to the link in my bio and hit the top button there to find out more...

Aiming to be a little more colour conscious! These

Aiming to be a little more colour conscious! These all feel new to me which is good. I suppose I want to avoid falling into habit traps, while also still feel like me.

So I used some of the pre-mixed colours I created and also had a palette of the “raw” colours out as well. Then I just played with the tape method I think I first saw @louisefletcher_art do (she has a free taster course coming soon - not sure if this idea is in it, but lots of other things will be!)

It’s always good to pull the tape back and see what’s created. I actually like the rather dark one bottom left so that will need to work it’s way in as I take these rather ice-cream mixes into the bigger paintings....

Experiment! I don’t usually pre-mix colour at all, I just work instinctively and see what emerges. BUT when I stopped to think about it I do have a kind of system....

I just hadn’t ever identified it. So now I’m testing it. At the moment it’s called colour-piggy-backing 😀

I’ll let you know if it helps at all, but today I had a glorious time mixing all these and more so that I have some rich and harmonious skeleton colours I want to see more of in the next phase.

Not sure I’ve mixed enough - but then I get to do it all again 😁

Lovely visit today to deliver this painting in per

Lovely visit today to deliver this painting in person, still always a bit heart-in-mouth in case it’s “oh - it’s not quite as X as I was expecting”

Soooo much better to be there to unwrap it and hear the sigh of “oh, it’s so beautiful” It’s a bit nerve-wracking buying art online, but the reality and depth of colour is always better in person.
Phew!

This is the title piece of the “Wild Swimming” series, other paintings are on my website - a few smaller ones left and if you want to know more about a larger one, do send me a message or email and ask.

What can you say “yes!” to which make you feel 🤩🥳 a million times better?

Let’s have a feel good thread... I’ll start with another of mine in the comments x
