Mindy's Art Club - REGISTRATION OPEN


Today is the DAY!! 
Mindy's Art Club is open for registration !!!!

This is a subscription based online class where I'll deliver content every month to keep you inspired and motivated to create. During my creative process, I always make discoveries and this is the perfect outlet for me to share those discoveries with you. We will mostly be working with water media but who knows where the process will lead and what awesome art supplies I'll stumble across. I'll have a "get started" supply list for you but as the months rock on, there may be new things that pop up. And when they do, I'll introduce those to you and give you direct links if you think you may like to work with them. I like to let folks know how they work and you can see them in action before you purchase. 
This class is all about the process. Don't worry about creating perfection because quite frankly that is a bit boring and will leave you frustrated. Why not play and make happy accidents along the way?! That is what my process is all about.

Here is how it will work:
1. Course content will load around the 1st of each month with prompts, lessons, and videos. Sometimes there will be accompanying PDF's depending on the kind of lesson. 1 or 2 video lessons 
2. $19 per month for as long as you'd like to see new content. You can cancel anytime.
3. A private FB group where we can hang out in a positive, uplifting environment full of inspiring fellow creatives.
4. Each month, I'll also do a FB live event around the middle of the month. This will be a fun way to connect, ask questions, and see me work live. Don't have a FB account? I will record this and have available for you in the classroom.
5. Topics of creativity will include mostly figurative (girls) but who knows where the inspiration will lead.

The above lesson fundamentals will be waiting for you in the classroom when you sign up. I will then have that months content added in as well. So basically the first month, you get a bit of a bonus to nail down and revisit the fundamentals that I think are important.














Other perks of being in the club:
  • 15% standing discount in my etsy shop. This includes online classes, prints, originals, everything. 
  • Private FB group with live lesson mid-month
  • downloadable pdf instructional or inspiring content
  • Club special pricing on future classes

FAQ: 
Is this class beginner friendly? Yes, it is for all levels. There will be a Basic Face and Face shapes for different ages waiting for you to visit (or revise) the important fundamentals. This will serve as a great practice and backbone for the class content moving forward.
How long will I have access to the course? You will have access to the course for as long as you pay your monthly subscription payment. And the videos are all downloadable.
Do I need all the supplies on the supply list? No, I am all about using what you have on hand. Almost anything can be substituted.
Will there be a Facebook group?  YES! we will have a private FB group for you to share your work and build community with other inspiring creatives. 
Can I share this content and my link to my friends? Please don't. We ask that 1 signin for your household only. thank you!
What types of materials will you be using mostly? I plan on keeping this class mainly in the watercolor/water soluble type materials. My acrylic and layered and highly textured classes will continue moving forward as separate, stand-alone classes.

Mindy's Art Club Announcement





Starting July 1st, 2018 I will begin my first art club!! A subscription based online class where I'll deliver content every month to keep you inspired and motivated to create. During my creative process, I always make discoveries and this is the perfect outlet for me to share those discoveries with you. We will mostly be working with water media but who knows where the process will lead and what awesome art supplies I'll stumble across. I'll have a "get started" supply list for you but as the months rock on, there may be new things that pop up. And when they do, I'll introduce those to you and give you direct links if you think you may like to work with them. I like to let folks know how they work and you can see them in action before you purchase. 








We will be working quickly with water soluble materials such as watercolor pencils, watercolors, art blocks, and lots of other fun things. This class will help you to keep those creative hangries at bay! A daily practice is so important and I hope to give you a jumpstart into the fundamentals (as we begin) and other challenges and practices to keep you inspired!

Mindy's Art Club will begin July 1st and I will open up registration on that day.

You'll receive a fundamentals pack immediately upon sign up that includes: (this is a one time thing)
  • Basic Face
  • Face shapes for different ages

$19 per month!

Blurred Edges 2

Blurred Edges 2 is an exploration in the process of letting go. In this 2nd installment, we talk about micro and macro wedging. I show you how to control the wedging process so that you can explore further. Just because you can control the micro movements, we will still let go of "being in control" of the painting/drawing process.

We will surprise ourselves. Creating accidents. Fostering mistakes. For that is where the magic lies!
  • $45
  • Class begins June 25th, 2018 (self paced after that. sign up anytime)
  • 2.5 hours of video instruction
  • 5 lessons, 1 bonus
  • one FB live session to hang out, paint, and ask questions


Do I need to take the first Blurred Edges course to take this one? My advice is yes to take that one first. This builds on the first class but if you are eager to jump in then I certainly encourage you to do so!
Will we be doing the same lessons as the first Blurred Edges course? No, these lessons are brand new and different than the first class. This class is meant to take your further along in the process. All new lessons and materials! It is the same process but tweaked to taken you farther along the journey.
How long will I have access to the course? Lifetime access. Videos are downloadable
Do I need all the supplies on the supply list? No, I am all about using what you have on hand. I will be working mainly with Tim Holtz paints because they move nicely when activated by water. You can use any fluid acrylics that you may have on hand. (Ground espresso and tea dye Tim Holtz colors are the most important ones)
Will there be a Facebook group? The group will be continued from the first Blurred Edges class, so you can keep sharing there.
