How To Self Publish a Coloring Book

Do you love to learn new skills? I love to learn new skills and I love to share what I know. I decided to take my sharing to a new level with classes on SkillShare. I am teaching classes to share what I do and why I do it. I love to be able to share things that I have learned and this platform lets me share with more than just my circle of friends.

My first class is:

Let's Talk Business: Teaching an Online Class

Today to continue the Levering your Art to Work for You, series I want to tell you about what I am working on this week. 

After I published my coloring book and started talking it up in the Art Business Groups on Facebook, I started having people ask me how I did it and what steps I took to make it happen. So I decided that I should teach a class on How to Self Publish a Coloring Book. I will be teaching this call over on Skillshare. I really like this platform for teaching a class because I am able to share a project based class with more people than just you my readers.

I am Lister

Come and join me as we work our way through 30 list in 30 days. This is a great idea, and I am so glad that I

 joined. I want to invite you to come along for the ride and enjoy 30 days of fun. Here is a list of blogs with post to get you excited even more.

An Art Break

I didn’t mean to,but I have been on a little bit of a blogging break. I have taken this time to refocus my attention on thing that matter to me (my family) and really find time to explore my style, and examine where I want to go with my art. I think this time away has helped me to learn that I will now try to blog on a schedule each week, with 3 post a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This way I can really focus on my family and my art.

I just signed up and so can you (It's FREE)

Over the course of 14 days, you'll receive daily doses of inspiration from favorite Big Picture teachers, and seven mystery guests!

I just had to share. I am working on a post about all of the classes that I have taken over the summer and I will be sharing them soon.

Painted pages

I am taking the Strathmore Artist Workshop with Traci Bautista and I have been working through lesson 1 and playing around with a few painted pages. I thought that I would share some of them with you. If you are interested in taking the workshop it is FREE all you have to do is sign up. I took the ones last year and enjoyed them all so much and I think that this is a great opportunity to try out an online workshop if you have never taken one to see how they work. The workshop is based on Traci Bautista’s new book Doodles Unleashed: Mixed-Media Techniques for Doodling, Mark-Making & Lettering which will be published at the end of this month.

This Painting was created on a File Folder. I plan on using it for a couple of journal covers for some journals that I am working on. I am creating a few journals that will be in my Etsy shop soon.

This piece was made on the brown paper that I use to cover my work surface. I noticed that some interested patterns were created from painting off the edge of the pages that I was working on. I decided start doodling on it and ended up really liking the finished piece. I think I might collage it onto a canvas and hand it up.

This month I will have a different post sponsor each week. This week's sponsor is Shabby Fabrics.

Go on over and check them out and let them know that I sent you.
