Journal page from my England trip…

I taught a class at the lovely Dy's called "Intuitive Painted Layers." It's not an easy class…it requires you to trust yourself, to enjoy the process more than the end result. You have to give yourself up to play, to experimentation, and you have to leave any judgements and negative attitudes at the door. The students that gave themselves up to the idea made really cool, interesting, vibrant artwork. I will definitely teach this class again, and I will push students even harder than I did. I went easy on them because I was worried they wouldn't like it…and some did struggle. But Dyan told me that I went too easy on them, and I agree. Next time, I will push and push and the end results will be spectacular!
