Ageless art

SO June 8 was our ART RETREAT and oh my, what a great time we had! And yes, one of our participants was a vibrant 79 years old and jumped right into the art zone with us!

Journaling is all about the journaler and what she wants to include on her various pages. So using  basic art supplies available to everyone, and incorporating some stress relieving tips and techniques, each participant spent the afternoon learning to become "one with her art."

Yep-it ain't that easy initially because we ALL want to be told what to do and especially in art-expectations are always based on one's previous art experiences and teachers! So step by step the ladies all learned to loosen up, let go and then-walla! They created.....and marveled at how easy it was after all!

Check it out! below:

See the woman in blue standing to the left and sitting and raising her hands in the air to the right? Patricia was our 79 years young student who, along with the others, reveled in the freedom of "no holds barred" art.

Each person took home the enthusiasm and techniques necessary to continue their art journey-there are a lot of pages to cover!


Our next art retreat is scheduled for Saturday July 27! Visit me on facebook to stay up to date on what's happening! www.facebook.com/MTheresaBrown or www.facebook.com/artstudentacademy

Ladies Art Retreat!

There is no doubt that the atmosphere was super-charged, the activity level on "high alert" and the resulting fun...well, you just had to be there :-)

Combine me, Theresa, with my level of art journaling and add the incomparable journaler, Ophelia Staton and plop us into my art studio out on the country and you have the ingredients for a remarkable level of a accomplishment! Sound far fetched? Nope, I am not exaggerating :-) My only regret is that I did not get a group photo of the 15 of us holding up our books and canvas creations so you could see the beautiful results.

A collage of the day-video coming!

For some of our participants it was a continuation of  their journaling and for others, a new beginning. We love to be responsible for the fun of introducing  new ideas, activities and happiness into someone's life. 
Our next Ladies Art Journaling Retreat with Ophelia and I will be Saturday, April 13! Want us to come to you? Let me know and we can arrange a Retreat at your Location!
