Supplies Me online workshop

• 59 inspiring, high quality videos to amp up your creative confidence!
  
  • Feedback from a professional Artist.

Lots of us are addicted to art supplies.
It’s time to take out the overwhelm and actually start using your current stash...
and learn how to draw cute faces and figures while we are going.

Supplies Me is an online workshop about art supplies with an emphasis on use in Art Journals. But the only way to truly understand and unlock the potential of these amazing tools is to use them, so I have designed a program of intensive ( not scary!) drawing lessons to do just that. The emphasis will be on faces and the figure. So as you are experimenting with using your art supplies in different ways, you will also be learning the basic structure of the feminine face and how to shade, colour and render it. I’ll also share my fashion illustration experience and get you drawing the female figure with ease too.

 

 

 

 

 

How long is the Class and what will we cover?

 I have designed the class to be 8 weeks long, but it is open ended for Self Guided study so you can take all the time you need and let the magic happen!  You can revisit, rewatch, recharge and remind yourself of all the art supplies, all the drawing lessons, all the mixed media inspiration whenever you want.

You have unlimited personal access for 12 months!

Following an Introductory Lesson where we cover the basics of keeping an Art Journal, Supplies Me has as its beating heart, 8 Lessons devoted to a different group of art supplies. The classroom is vibrant and full of the energy and beautiful, developing artwork of the 300 plus students who have already started this arty adventure!

 

1. Introduction Week - Gesso, art journals and welcome.

2. Coloured Pencil week: I am a Colour pencil NUT. I love their ease of use, tidiness, transportability, price, the instant satisfaction they provide and even the way they look quite frankly! These simple sticks are incredibly versatile and it’s time to unlock your pencil’s potential.

3. Watercolour week
Transparent, vibrant and unpredictable…the three qualities I love most about watercolours.

4. Pens and Markers week
I did my fashion illustration training in Paris. It was my first job as an ‘adult’ and pens and markers were my weapon of choice. I have adored them ever since…let me show you a few tricks....

5. Pastels Week
Soft, squishy and tactile…its time to get your hands a little dirty!

6. Acrylic Paint Week
There is something magic about paint…it just feels so nice to use. Lets go swimming in it this week.

7. Finale Week - Surprises galore!

Supplies Me is ongoing and open for self study.  You can revisit the videos (not available for download) as often as you like using your password.  So you have full permission to take your time and create as you want.

 

 

What do you we in the Class?

The classes are video based. I talk you through each of the art supplies, what they do and show you how to use them through a variety of drawing projects and excercises.  The videos are clear, fun and high quality.

Although the class is Self Guided, I have set this schedule as an option for you to follow:

•  Mondays  are for product review videos and hold a wealth of artist insider knowledge on the best art supplies.
  

• Tuesdays are for your Feminine Face drawing lesson video with an emphasis on using the highlighted art supplies of the week.
  

• Thursday is Body Basics drawing day where we will cover a different area of the body each week with a video lesson.

• Saturday I will be posting a video of an entire Mixed Media artwork that ties the whole week together with a paint-strewn bow! You will see how I mix-it-up with art mediums in a complete artwork or art journal page.

Videos will be typically between 6 and 15 minutes long each. Sometimes I will split an involved lesson over a few short videos. Intense creative nuggets!

 It’s very important to me to give you feedback on your work, so I will ask you to upload your drawings and experiments into our private forums. It may be nerve-wracking the first time you do it, but trust that you and your creative soul will benefit exponentially by being courageous and sharing your work! Full instructions are on the site if this is your first online class experience. You are in safe hands!

The School site is a safe and loving space full of creative kindred spirits, where you can feel relaxed and free to be your arty self. Fun, fun, fun!

What do you need to do the class?

 

• Let me just emphasise that you don’t need all the art supplies in the universe to complete your assignments! You can use whatever art tools you have. You will learn new ways of using what you do have, and be able to pinpoint what you may like to add to your creative life in the future without expensive trial and error.

• An Art Journal and Liquitex Gesso are the only absolute essentials. Both are available on this site.

 

• A fast computer & high-speed internet service to process & watch the videos will be vital as well as enough technical know-how to navigate the site.  If you are regularly able to watch Youtube videos of up to 15 minutes in length w/o interruption you should be just fine.   Do please make sure though, since tuition is non-refundable once your password to the class network has been sent.

 

I so want you to be part of this arty adventure.

Let’s escape the crazy world and refocus energy on the
beautiful things in life that are available to us right now.

It’s time to reward yourself with creative confidence!

Testimonials

 

“Jane - How can I thank you? (let me count the ways).   This has been such a wonderful class.  I have had an absolute ball.  I have learned so much.. from you and my fellow students.   I totally hoard art supplies but sometimes they lay barely used.  You have really got me reaching into that art bag of mine and bringing out pens, pencils and paints like they were new.  Can you hear them all squeeling with delight that they have my attention at last and have been freed to strut their stuff?”

 

“This classroom is such a hub of activity - its impossible to comment on all the posts but I have read most …and visit often to feast my eyes on all the talent you have unleashed in your workshop.”

 

“  May I just say that I am in awe of the way you keep up with everything.   This workroom of yours is a such a hive of activity - a bombardment of comments, counter-comments, a downpouring of amazing pieces of art falling like a beautiful rainstorm, a tornado of ideas, suggestions and an erupting volcano of AH-HA moments.  And  you stand in the midst of it all, take it all in, read every word, never fail to respond, give words of advice and encouragement and keep everything in order by re-directing gems of information to their rightful places so that we may all benefit from the knowledge before it gets buried.    You are like a conductor - you take your stand, pick up your baton and orchestrate this whole fantastic, chaotic riot of activity and imagination effortlessly into the most wonderful symphony of harmony and collective creativity.”

 

” I had never thought I would be able to do draw a face so quickly.”

 

“OMG I just drew a face. Who are you amazing Jane?!!!”

 

” I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your videos and all the wonderful feedback you and the other Happy Drawing students gave me. I have been at a creative impasse lately, and I feel like your videos will help me break that. Even when you are lucky enough to make a living at a something most people only dream about, it’s possible to get in a rut and lose the joy. You and your students are helping me find that joy again. Can’t thank you enough.”

 

“Your class has been very freeing and has helped me give myself permission to ‘play’ and not be so serious while learning. Thanks so much Jane xx”

 

“Jane, I knew your videos would be fun, could not expect anything else from you happy girl! You’re an inspiration, so alive and vibrant, so happy and encouraging, THANK YOU!”
