Art Sale | Thrifting | Starting a New Painting | Artist Diaries
Welcome back to my studio. In this episode, I start by reconnecting with nature — birds, clouds, and a few quiet moments before the brush meets the canvas. Then I share a special offer available this week only: ✨ Two original 6x8" oil paintings on canvas paper — available from July 22–28 for $55 each + shipping. Message me if you’re interested! Next, I take you along on a little treasure hunt at a local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I'm always searching for vintage frames... but today, I found something even better — an antique print of a Victorian beauty that captured my imagination. I’ll be using her as inspiration for a new Backwards Beauty portrait. Back in the studio, I prep my canvas and walk you through the early process — from setting up my projector to mixing paint. Then we jump into a timelapse of me painting Beth — a barefoot summer soul in a lacy dress — while I reflect on the magic and mystery of creating art. The painting isn’t quite finished yet… so for now, it’s To Be Continued.

Learn Style and Techniques from Master Copies or Your Own
This week's video is a follow up of a few weeks ago when I started on two backwards beauty's paintings inspired by Jane Austen's Emma- that I could not choose which one to paint so I decided to paint both. The compositions being so similar it reminded me of the benefits of copying. So in this weeks video I am sharing with you 5 reasons why you should copy and 5 artists that are copied the most. Vermeer, Sargent, Monet, Van Gogh, Da Vinci what can we learn from copying? How can copying improve our style and techniques? I will answer all these questions and more.
