New Mini Art Workshop “Summer Girls” now FOR SALE :-) YAY!
Hello beautiful people. Wow, I put much more into this mini workshop than I thought I would! Ha ha. I was all: ok this is a mini workshop, so it’ll be shorter than my usually courses etc, but I still spent ages on perfecting the videos and PDF (which is 17 pages long, WOW). I suppose you can’t beat down the perfectionist inside hey?! :)
Anyhoosies. The mini art workshop ‘Summer Girls’ is now open for registration! Come and join will you? It’s very affordable! You’ll learn how I create one of my ‘summery kind-faced girl paintings’ in about 2.5 hours worth of video with an in depth supporting PDF (17 pages long). All videos are downloadable and you’ll have access to the group forever and ever and ever. I’m SO excited to be sharing this with you as these paintings have brought me so much joy and summery warmth!
Here is some more info for you:
Learn to create a beautiful kind-faced girl on a summery warm, textured and layered background with Tam from Willowing Arts! In this 2.5 hour workshop I cover how to build a body onto basic shapes, facial proportions, layering and creating texture for your background.
All videos are downloadable and yours to keep forever! The group will never close so you have all the time in the world to do your lesson. The lessons are suitable for beginners and intermediates alike and you can share your work in a private group on my ning site.
I’ve been wanting to do a series of mini workshops for a while to make it more affordable for people who cannot afford the longer courses, so this one is an affordable one at £14.99! (approx $23 USD depending on the exchange rate of the day).

Tam,
I’m interested in taking the class and had a few quick questions.
Will the online class be hands on where we work on the project along with instruction?
Do we need to get certain supplies?
Can I mail you the registration fee? I don’t like to put my c.c. payment online?
Thanks, Glenda J.
Hi Glenda! Thanks for your query, answers to your questions below:
Will the online class be hands on where we work on the project along with instruction?
The videos show step by step how I create my painting (if that is what you mean), so you would work along side of what I’m doing yes.
Do we need to get certain supplies?
I use the following supplies in the lesson, but some of the materials can be substituted with materials you already have:
Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000167 EndHTML:0000004376 StartFragment:0000000454 EndFragment:0000004360
2 Pieces of hot-pressed watercolour paper by Daler-Rowney – The Langton – 140 lbs
Graphite Mechanical Pencil: 2b
Water-soluble Crayons by Caran D’ache – Neocolor II
Acrylics paints (white) – Daler Rowney
A mix of watercolour pencils by Derwent & Caran D’ache
Gel pens by Uniball (black for the eyes, pink for the mouth)
Gel Medium: Impasto Matt by Daler-Rowney
Brayer (Uniball)
A variety of paint brushes, my favs are: “Pro Arte Acrylix – England”
Rubber stamps, Ink pads (Stazon), Spray Inks (Dylusions) & Acrylic Inks (Daler-Rowney)
Collage materials: scrapbooking papers, old book pages, butterflies
I also printed out my words on standard printer paper with a standard printer
I used a palette knife to apply the gel medium but this can be done with a brush or other implement
Please note: you do not need all the same materials I have listed in order to do this course. Many of the materials are easily replaceable with other materials. For instance, you can use standard watercolour paints instead of the crayons, or you can use modge podge instead of gel medium. If you are on a low budget, check if you already have some supplies you can use instead of the ones listed above. The only item I would not compromise on is the type of paper. It doesn’t matter if you use hot-pressed or cold pressed, but the weight of the paper is important. Because you will use a lot of collage/ glue and water on your page go for at least 140 lbs to prevent warping. It’s also a good idea to go for a medium good brand of watercolour paper (recommended brands: Daler-Rowney/ Windsor & Newton/ Fabriano/ Canson/ Strathmore) as some of the lesser quality brands produce paper that really does not withstand the amount of layering and painting we’ll do in this lesson.
Can I mail you the registration fee? I don’t like to put my c.c. payment online?
If you are based in the UK it’s possible to mail it no problem.
Hope this helps!
Love
Tam x

Hi Tamara – I just signed up for the summer girls workshop but I realized after I paid through Paypal that the email I use on this site is not the email I am verified through Paypal. Will that make a difference? The email I use on your site is [email protected] and my Paypal addy is [email protected] . I am so excited about taking this class!

Hi! I payed for the workshop three days ago and haven’t received an invite yet? I checked my junk mail too, just in case. Could you please send me an invite to the group- I would love to get started!
Ahhhhh! I figured out how to get in! Never mind! :)
Hi

Looking forward to starting
I paid this afternoon, but don’t see an invite in my e-mail box. :0/
Hi Heather! You must’ve been feeling frustrated and disappointed not to have received an invite to the group more quickly. It is a manual process for me to send you an invite to the group which can take up to 48 hours (it all depends on what I’m busy with or working on when your payment comes through). Also; I live in the UK, your payment came through at my time: 7:30 pm. I don’t work that late as I have children who need looking after. :) I’ve just sent you an invite to the group and a welcome email. Hope all is as you hoped for you and that you enjoy the workshop. Love, Tam x
Hi Tam, I would love to sign up for the Summer Girls mini art workshop but not sure if this is for someone who can’t draw! ???
Hiya! :) Well, if you have no drawing experience it might be harder for you, however, I do show you how to draw the girl step by step, so you might be ok! :) Up to you! Love, Tam x
Yay!! Can’t wait to start!!!! Just paid!!! So looking forward to it!!!
Hi Tam! My question is for someone who has no natural talent at drawing or painting would this course be a good place to start or do you suggest something else? I would like to make something special for my daughter for Christmas.
Hi Donna! Well, this is a mini workshop and I do take you through the creation of the painting step by step so it should be ok, however the world of whimsy course goes into much more depth (it’s a full blown course), so if you’re really wanting to get your teeth into something I’d start there. Lots of love, Tam x
Hi! I payed for the workshop three days ago and haven’t received an invite yet? I checked my junk mail too, just in case. Could you please send me an invite to the group- I would love to get started please !!
Hi Cocoromeo! Sorry you haven’t received the invites I have sent you. I’ve just sent you another invite to the group and a welcome email. I have sent the invites to the email you provided when you made your payment, if you have a different email address please let me know and I can send them there instead. I hope that’s ok for you. Let me know if you have any more problems, Love Tam x
