 I feel that doing art is a remedy for getting through difficult times. It certainly has been helping those of us who have been doing this together so far. I plan to continue these lessons online for as long as they are useful, in 8 week terms.

For these lessons, you may use a journal of some sort, watercolor paper, a sketchbook, or whatever you wish. I will give suggestions and ideas. Most of the exercises will use a combination of pen, pencil, paints, and other coloring tools, as well as explorations with other media, like stamping, collage, stencils and more! You can always adapt the lesson to what you have on hand. I will also recommend good sources for art supplies, with shipping and a student discount.

Each week, I will present a complete lesson,via email, written out with a focus on some aspects of drawing, painting, other media, and writing. I will give you an inspirational poem or quote, some discussion of the theme or focus for the week, warm up exercises, and then a series of exercises to practice with. 

No art experience is necessary. I invite beginners, people who think they cannot draw or paint, or are nervous about trying. I will gently encourage you,  help you to relax, and to see in a new way, so you can appreciate your own style, and honor your process. Drawing and painting are learned skills, essentially you are learning a new language. It takes time, persistence, practice. That is your part, and it is fully possible to grow your skills in one term...you will be surprised and pleased!

Your lesson will come by email and you can do it in your own time, and at your own pace. I am available for questions, suggestions, help. Students can send photos and comments to me, or to the group.

The lessons are yours. You may print them out, and refer to them again and again.

If you have studied with me, you know my style. It is relaxed, and the focus is on attention, the process and what you can learn from it. I do hope you will join us.

Colorfully, Jude
