Ladies and Jellyspoons, Mermaids and Unicorns, here’s a message to let you know that the big ‘Tam’s 2nd Book’ blog hop has now commenced, huzzah! :D 15 wonderful current and previous Ever After (& Life Book) teachers are taking part in this blog hop which involves give aways of copies of my brand spanking new book! Yay! I hope you will come and hop along and win a copy. I would deeply appreciate you sharing this blog hop post with your friends, many thanks! <3 Read on to find out what this book is all about and how you can win a copy!!

Signed copies of my Ever After book now available to pre-order
(includes a free postcard, yay!)

New to me and to Ever After? What is ‘all the fuss’ about Ever After and The Book? :) Lemme tell you all about it!

I am Tam and Ever After is an online course I’ve run for 4 years now with 2 of my favourite themes/ topics: fairy-tales and style development! We ran Ever After for the first time in 2016 and we had so much fun! It was a raving success with over 1500 people joining! Wow! I couldn’t wait to run this wonderful course again! I created Ever After to help many of the thousands of students who’ve been on my other courses and my peers’ courses to develop their own style (omg the holy grail! I get the ‘how do I develop my style question’ so often!). Once again I’ve poured my heart and soul into this course and once again I’ve invited a FABULOUS group of celebrated mixed media artists who all can’t wait to share their lessons and insights with you! :) I’m super excited about this offer to the mixed media art community. This course is a fantastic offer to those who are interested in learning how to make beautiful mixed media paintings inspired by traditional fairy-tales and myths and it has a very attractive curriculum for those interested in the hows and whats of style development. We are still running the 2019 version which you can still join btw, but anyhoo, that’s not what this blog post is about. :) 

Anyhoo, Quarry Publishing House who published my first book heard about Ever After, thought the project sounded awesome and asked me to write a book about it! I too think Ever After is pretty awesome, so I said HOLY MOLY YES OF COURSE! :)

The book has just been published (August 6th yay!) so I am running a give away and a blog hop with 15 other AWESOME teachers who have all taught on Ever After or Life Book before to celebrate this wonderful book, yay!! Each teacher can give away one copy for FREE!! Yayyyy!!!! (If you scroll down you can find their site urls, be sure to follow them on the blog hop so you can find out more about them and also so you can enter their give-aways!). To enter my give away, read on! 


Here is more information about the book!

Ever After: Create Fairy Tale-Inspired Mixed-Media Art Projects to Develop Your Personal Artistic Style

Let the wisdom and enchantment of timeless fables and fiction help you achieve your creative goals! From celebrated mixed-media artist and author of “Create Your Life Book” Tamara Laporte, Ever After is a rich collection of step-by-step mixed-media art lessons inspired by fairy tales, folk tales, and classic fiction.

Based on one of Tamara’s popular series of online classes, Ever After addresses the most frequently asked question she receives from her students: “How do I develop my own creative style?”

In addition to the beautiful art lessons created especially for this book by Tamara and eight other noted mixed-media artists, each chapter offers creative exercises that invite readers to explore stories, their symbolism, and a specific aspect of style development as they work toward and ultimately achieve their artistic goals.

· The Story of You. Explore the experiences, feelings, and ideas that stir your passion, and how to adapt and change motifs and other visual elements to make them your own.

· Inspiration: How to Find It, How to Use It. Examine how to stay open to inspiration, incorporate it into your art practice, and integrate it into your artwork.

· Comfort Zones & Productivity. Learn strategies for working through your fear and dedicating time to your artmaking.

· Dealing with Challenges & Deepening Your Voice. Find guidance for starting a mindfulness practice to help you deal with harsh feedback, and for allowing yourself the joy of continually evolving your story, your message, and your style.

Ever After will teach you to tell your own unique stories through artmaking so that your wish—to become the artist you’ve always wanted to be—is sure to come true!

Goodday friends! Since my latest abstract escapade Goodday friends! Since my latest abstract escapades began in my tiny journal, I have tried translating what I was doing onto larger surfaces. Didn’t really work out until this week. Made this glorious bright painting I really love! It’s watercolour paint/ fluid acrylics/ pencils/ crayons and posca pens on 16x12 Watercolor paper. Hope it inspires you today! ♥️ ps. Check out how that lower right big yellow blob looks like a super happy one-eyed Cyclops emoji! 😆😂🤣 he reminds of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.
