Watercolor Journals at The Farm

Some time ago I was introduced to watercolor journals. The class I took made us go and sketch in our little sketchbook down at terminal 4 at the Px airport. It was scary but it sure got me over the jitters about drawing/painting in front of people. It forced me to draw, and to realize that I do have time to improve my drawing. I didn't have to set aside a chunk of my valuable time to do it. I kept my little watercolor book with me all the time, even while waiting for kids to come out of practice, in my car, at the doctors office, just everywhere. Even a few minutes here and there helped me improve, and it made me relax, allowed me even if for just a few minutes to do something for myself. Now I am very fortunate that I can focus my time on my artwork, but through those years of juggling kids, job, house, kids, oh, I said that one, I couldn't use them as an excuse for why I wasn't drawing. On Sat. May 10th down at the Farm I am teaching a watercolor journal class for people who are intimidated, with drawing and painting but want to just give it a try. You will get a bag with tiny travel size watercolor supplies, lunch will come down from the Santa Barbara Catering Co. there on the grounds. We will eat, meet each other, and I will get you started on how to use all the wonderful little goodies in the travel bag. My hope is that you will draw, you will paint, even if it is just a little at a time. Then when a time comes that you can devote more time to your artwork, you will be at a much more controlled level in your ability. Don't let the years go by just waiting till all the stars fall into place, that ain't going to happen. Try it you just might like it. Call the Farm (602-268-5905) to make your reservation, call your mom or a good girl friend and ask her to join you. If you come alone, you will make a new friend during the class.
