A reminder that I'm hosting a YouTube Live that will walk you through a process of studying an artist to then applying their ideas to your own work. The artist I will use as an example is Gustav Klimt.
I'm going to treat this like actual workshop time where I hope we pause and experiment so I recommend the following:
Art materials to play with (I recommend in a sketchbook or small paper or canvas).
A place to take notes
A computer to watch and look up images for your selected artist.
Image references/sketches/previous work you might want to use that reflect the kind of work you already create.
We start 1 pm CST Friday Jan 10. I suspect we will be between 1-1.5 hours.

In addition to the art education work I do here on Artist Strong, I also make art about motherhood and my transition into becoming a parent.
I was recently interviewed about this experience and how my art was born from it. If that interests you watch and listen here:

The vote is in: I'll host a LIVE workshop on how to explore an artist's style for study. Don't have a confirmed date, but thinking early December. I'll keep you posted!

You beautiful humans are AMAZING. One year ago I only had maybe 500 subscribers. Seriously. Today, we surpassed 5000!
As a thank you for your support I'd like to do something for you.
If I did a YouTube live where I taught something, what would you like to me to teach? No idea is too small or too big. Lay it on me! (And by that I mean leave a comment ;) )

What topic do you want me to create more videos on?

I’m Carrie, creator of Artist Strong. I will help you draw or paint anything you want.
I help self taught artists who:
🏡 make space for a home studio
👀 stare at their canvas wondering, “what’s next?”
🤦♀️ piecemeal a curriculum of art classes through YouTube, Pinterest and art bundles
🥺 ache to fully express themselves through their art
🎨 struggle to reflect a unique voice/style in their art
Together we move from feeling frustrated with the progress of our art, questioning why we’ve invested all this time (and money!),
to making unique art where we proudly proclaim, “I’m the artist!”
Enjoy free art tutorials, important mindset conversations and overcome the perfectionism holding you back from making your best art.
Art is no longer a hobby we squeeze in when we can or feel guilty making time for,
it’s a way of life. 💯
…Is this you? Welcome. Let's make more art!
