A Lovely Dream

Almost Angels

Being an artist
means, not reckoning and counting,
but ripening like the tree

which does not force its sap
and stands confident
in the storms of spring

without the fear that after them
may come no summer."

Rainer Maria Rilke

Petit Dia de los muertos

In this class you will be inspired to make the Day of The Dead style. Colors, palettes, and creating a shabby look. There will also be 3 other Day of the Dead projects included in this class. I use skulls in most of my paintings so this class is not only for Halloween. Beginners welcome! $15.00 USD

Helping Sally with Faces

OMG she had to sit on the floor. I have a couch but an impractical couch. Its from Pier One. Its a love seat but really its a giant cup with cushions. Your ass sinks in it and your feet go up and unless you want to intimately snuggle there is no safe way for new friends to sit side by side. Not good for company.  Good only for fat sausages to nap under

It's exciting to see someone who has, "Never Before!" drawn and quickly they are making pretty faces.  Sally was asked by a friend to design a logo so she is working on her Good Witch/Bad Witch.  What I admire about Sally is that she is not afraid to do the same face over and over again. Which you must if you are going to get better.  Too often beginning artists feel their very first painting has to be a masterpiece and set themselves up for failure.  Even seasoned artists paint miles of canvas that suck.  That is the way it is.  If you expect when you sit down to write/draw/sculpt you have to run off the rusty water, clear your throat so to speak.  And if you are learning something new this goes quadruple. You are not stupid or untalented of doomed to never make good art if you don't get it right away.  With art it is more than your mind.  Close your eyes and you can vividly imagine the most amazing scene, but your hands, if not taught, do not know how to draw it.  Art is mechanical skill mixed with imagination.  That's all. It is magical in that all of life is magical but it is not mysterious.  Your hands must come to know that thing in which you want to do.  And that takes time. 

Give yourself that gift of time with a Suzi Blu Portrait Class! Lots of videos to download and always one on one Suzi help. Although maybe not on my living room floor. Let me get a new couch first.
