COZY UP WITH YOUR SKETCHBOOK! WINTER 2018 ART CLASS

December 13, 2017 Virginia Freyermuth
VIRGINIA FREYERMUTH_WC PAINTING.jpg

I love to set out my pencils, brushes and paints at this time of year on the little desk in my winter studio. My barn studio always awaits my extended creative work, but on icy New England winter mornings, I love to start my day with tiny watercolor studies in a warm little writing room just off my kitchen. A small wooden desk topped with my tiny travel set of watercolors, a few pencils, and some natural objects is all I need for a quiet start to the day. It gives me a good feeling all day that my inner artist has been honored and that I discovered something delightful and new as a result of studying a bit of Nature.

Perhaps you'd like to cozy up with your sketchbook and maybe some watercolors as well. If so, register now for my Discover Drawing Winter 2018 course. Enrollment is limited. Enrollment closes January 31, 2018. E-mail me for more information.

Artistic Virginia Journal Entries

I believe that inside each of us resides the curious, inventive, creative child we once were. I'm interested in ways we can keep our joy, wonder, fascination, sense of play and imagination alive throughout our lives.  How do we regain or remain artistic? How can art honor and transform us and our life experiences?

The artistic process engages mind, body, and spirit, and is therefore holistic. Many things in life that we do with love, kindness, generosity and worthy intention can be elevated to that which we consider artistic.  This blog seeks the many ways to do that. Because as Hubbard said, "Art is not a thing. It is a way."

I hope you will find inspiration here to encourage your inner child and your inner artist to sparkle and shine.

Warmly,
Virginia Freyermuth, M.F.A., Ph.D.
