Hello friends!

In case you missed it I released a new, mini-class at the start of April, which received a Staff Pick from the folks at Skillshare:

Mini-Mindful Art Practice: Quick Guide to Intuitive Composition 

And to celebrate, I’m hosting a giveaway – I’m giving away a whole year of Skillshare Premium access to one lucky student!

What’s my new class about? 

Well, in this 13-minute class, we’ll carve out a little mindful, low-pressure art time to explore composition in a way that feels natural. I’ll show you a structured but gentle approach that helps you arrange elements in your artwork in a way that feels right to you.

You’ll learn how to:

• Develop compositions without rigid rules
• Refine your artwork through an iterative process
• Trust your instincts while making adjustments that enhance your piece

You don’t need any prior knowledge of composition to take this class—I’ll walk you through everything you need to know. You also don’t need any special materials; just bring whatever art supplies you love working with.

By the end of this class, you’ll have developed a piece of art using a simple, repeatable method for creating compositions that feel balanced, natural, and – most importantly – yours.

If you’ve got any questions just let me know!

Have a great weekend,

Shelley
