New video tutorial

The newest video tutorial on how I colored up the Ladybug Tales image is now available on my YouTube channel.  Hope you'll take a moment to check it out.  I had such fun putting this one together.  I am trying to improve the content of the videos, meaning close-ups, information, etc, so I'd love for you to watch and give me some suggestions that would benefit you.
Have a fabulous Sunday!  I hear snows a coming. UGH!

May I just say this…..

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me and left comments on my YouTube channel, concerning my videos. Some have stated in their comments and emails that they could never color like I do.  First off, I appreciate that. It's a compliment.  I understand that.  And I sincerely thank you.  No one ever gets tired of being complimented.  Ever! But, may I just say, please do not compare your work to anyone else's…..ever! Not even mine. To me, that's like comparing your first learning to drive to someone who has had 10+ or even 30+ years of experience. It just doesn't make sense to me. If you have watched any of my videos, you hear me say it over and over again, that art should be fun.  It's an expression of who you are and how you see things.  It should never be stressful or seem like work.  Have you ever actually looked up the definition of art? I bet most of you haven't.  Well, let me enlighten you.

It is defined as follows:

Art

1. the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

I think it's pretty darn accurate.  Especially the part about emotional power. Don't you? When you create something that you are proud of, it gives you an I can conquer the world feeling. Creating something that you are proud of, is the whole meaning behind art.  Do you think Picasso thought about whether someone would like what he was painting when he created?  I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no.  He created what he FELT.  He was expressing himself. It's a simple as that.  And so should you.

I have told one of my design team members on many occasions, to color an image once, drink a couple of glasses of wine and then color it again.  Anyone who has ever had a couple of drinks in their life, know that when you are a little 'tipsy' or 'feeling good', you really are more relaxed.  You have an 'I don't care attitude'….to a certain extent. If you would have that 'I don't care attitude', I would almost guarantee you, that you would color that image in a totally different way. You wouldn't care what people think. My point is, color like you are the only one that is ever going to see it.  It will make a total difference. I promise you.

I, in NO WAY consider myself perfect, or as we used to say in the 80's. . .'think I am all that'. Anyone who knows me, knows that is not my style. I'm better than some, yes.  But, there are others that are better than me.  There is always going to be someone better than you. I can guarantee you that.  But, there is always room for improvement.  Always! Don't compare yourself to anyone. The most you should ever want to do, is to look at someone else's work that is better than yours, whether it be mine or another artist and strive for that. Strive. . .not compare! Don't ever tell yourself that you'll never be that good or think that your work isn't as good as someone else's.  Simply express yourself in your work and remember. . .it's ART!  Remember, the definition?  Read it again.  It's an expression of creative skill and imagination.  It produces beauty and powers you emotionally. It doesn't say anything in that definition about being praised for your work.  At least, not by anyone but yourself.

With all that said.  I have one piece of advice that has helped me, and perhaps it may help you as well.  If you are trying to better your work, color the same image more than once.  Don't just color it one time. Color and re-color the image, over and over again.  I do it myself.  ALL the time.  You get better with repetition. And using the same image really does help.  Try it. . . .I think you'll like it!

 So….what are your thoughts?  I'd love to hear them!!!

New, on sale and a new video too….yes, again

On sale and a new video too!!!!! 

Happy, happy Friday.  Thank goodness, right?!?!?!?!  And this is totally off the subject, but what is up with Mother Nature?  Spring and summer temperatures one day then back to cold wind and 30° weather.  I just don't get it. I just want one temperature ALL the time until it should change. . . and stay that way.  Who's with me?  Come on now. . . .

Well, enough about the weather.  Let's get to the good stuff.  What's on sale!  Who doesn't love a sale. Admit it.  You look forward to it.  Don't ya.

On sale & a new videos too . . .eventually!

Happy, happy Friday.  Thank goodness it's the weekend.  I apologize for being a little late, but my internet went down last evening about 6 PM and I am just now getting around to doing the things that I needed to get done last night.  So let's jump right in.

First up, I plan on having two new videos uploaded to my YouTube channel over the weekend, but since YouTube is being hateful to me, and not allowing me to upload I am just going to say check back for those over the weekend.  Hopefully it will start cooperating soon, but I didn't want to make you guys wait any longer for the newsletter.
The first video that I will be uploading is a speed coloring video of last weeks new image May I Have this Dance.  The second video is another tutorial.  I will be continuing from last weeks tutorial and coloring her hair, bow, shirt and ladybugs.  So, if you'd like to follow along or find out when I add the new videos, be sure to subscribe to the channel. I'd love to get your feedback on them.  And may I just take a moment to say thank you to those who did leave feedback as well as email me about how much you enjoyed the tutorial.  I really do appreciate it.

Next up. . . .after the urging of friends and customers, I am thinking about offering some online classes that will include everything from sketching, outlining for digital stamps, as well as coloring and painting techniques.
I'd love to hear what you think about this as well.  Would you all be interested in this? I'd love to know.  

Now, since I have been working on 'other' stuff this weekend, I apologize, but I do not have any new images for you.  I do however, have a couple of cuties for you though. Both are discounted $2 off the normal price and are available as either a digital stamp or colored illustration.  So, run over and grab them while they are on sale.
