Description
I’ve been thinking about how I could help Venezuela through my work as an artist after the two devastating earthquakes on June 24. I recently painted a floral using the colors of Venezuela’s flag鈥攜ellow, blue, and red鈥攖he primary colors! As a way to explore this beautiful color combination with a small group of students, I recorded myself painting it. The idea was to transform the colors in the reference photo into a primary color scheme.
So today, I’m offering it to all of you (I re-recorded the demo just for this cause so close to my heart), and 100% of the proceeds from now through July 31, 2026, will be donated through We Love Foundation , a nonprofit providing relief in Venezuela, to help those most in need after the earthquakes.
This painting demo includes:
- The reference photo (a 6×6″ image on a PDF file to print, & a JPG image to use on your tablet)
- A list of the supplies I use, with the links to where I get most of them.
- A four-part video of me painting it (part 1 introduction, part 2 underpainting, part 3 sketch, part 4 paint!)
- And one PDF page on how to make painting happen during a busy month (these tips are always useful, because we are always busy 馃檪
My first advice? Set a timer for 10 minutes, and paint! Then clean your brushes and leave everything ready for the next day. So, watch the demo and stop it every 10 minutes 馃檪 If you have a couple of hours available, then go for it from beginning to end!
Second advice? After 9 years of teaching The Happy Habit of Daily Painting, all the research I did for it, and hundreds of students taking my class and as a result painting A LOT MORE, what works best is attaching “going to the easel” to something you already do every day (preferably in the mornings), like breakfast, or having coffee, or walking the dogs! So, after that, paint for 10 minutes! It’ll be super easy to remember, because you already have coffee, breakfast, or walk the dogs every morning without thinking about it. And next day? Do it again!
From the bottom of my heart, THANKS SO MUCH for your support!
