GIANT WATERCOLOURS?! So cool!!

By Maddie Turner  |   in mixed media  | Tags: A Year of Light , year long mixed media art course , mixed media art course , scholarships  

*FREE* New Video + 25% off Spotlight Class!


 

Dear creative friends,

Wow, how are you all doing? How are you riding this “interesting” wave that’s pulling us all along around the world? I gotta be honest with you; I’ve been quite down about it all. For a while there, I found myself in a pretty dark space! Luckily, I have art, music and poetry, so I took all my ‘yuck’ to the page and processed all my stuff a bit. I now feel a bit lighter again thank goodness, notwithstanding the fact that I’m still very worried for the world and its people. *hugs tight*

I’ve decided however, that now more than ever do I need to continue to bring the light, to bring creative beauty and joy, to stand in courage and keeping leading with love, light and compassion. I’m showing up my friends. And I will keep showing up, no matter how dark it gets out there.

I have just uploaded a new video to my youtube channel in which I create a new journal page and unbox some super cool new art supplies (GIANT WATERCOLOURS, what?) Watch me process my feelings in a journal page here, I even share a poem I wrote with you too!

I also want to offer 25% off one of my golden oldie classes called ‘The Beacon of Light‘. If you’re feeling down and out and could do with creating a Beacon of Light for yourself, then join this class with 25% off, use BEACON at the checkout.

Much love,
Tam

ps. People are creating AMAZING art on A Year of Light, if you want to dive deeper into learning how to paint ‘light’ and bring more light to your life (it’s so needed nowadays), then come join us for A Year of Light! You can still join us no problem! I’ve opened up the 20% off discount code again as I know how needed creating this kind of art is! Use DAZZLE20 at the checkout to get 20% off. xoxo Tam

Rapunzel – Freed.

I went on quite a journey with this painting. Reading the original Grimm version of Rapunzel deeply moved me: her long, beautiful hair cut by the witch who raised her, her exile into the wilderness while pregnant with twins, her survival of all that hardship, and finally her becoming the one who saves the prince.

To me, this is true female empowerment. I wanted to paint Rapunzel as defiant and transformed. And crucially, I wanted to give her long hair again - not as a ladder, not as something to be used or admired by others, but as a reclamation of power. A part of her body that was once appropriated becomes fully her own again.

Teaching on A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales; I`m loving diving deep into the original fairy tales, myths and stories and bringing one or other aspect alive of these stories on the page.

This piece is a `paint over collage` painting. We start off by laying down our collage elements and then layer paint, crayons, markers, acrylics, gold leaf etc on top. A deeply layered and moving process. 😍😍😍

I adore how this came out. I`m particularly in love with the lavenders, hot pink and layer collage pieces in this painting.

Last night a journal session to process *waves at all of this*. This spread went through a lot of changes. I filmed it all! Will be on the channel soon. 😘

Revisiting this beauty from 2 years ago. I intended her as a class but she somehow didn’t make the cut! I love her now and disagree with past Tam!
