On Thursday, while I was visiting Kal, we played with paint.
Prior to this trip, I signed up for her Script School online workshop (which starts September 12) but was lucky enough to get an “in real life” preview of what to expect.
It was awesome.
The number one thing I learned is the importance of practice. My painting ability after an hour and a half of moving the brush and making letterforms was so much better than when I started. But three hours later after a break for more paper and lunch, I was back to where I started. So like anything else, practice, as well as warm-up exercises, is so key when trying to make art.
I am so looking forward to starting the online workshop to learn more in depth ideas and mostly just for the practice. After talking with Kal and hearing more about what she has in store, I highly recommend this course. Think of it as back to school for your creative side. And if you’re signed up – stock up on paper immediately. I think I’ll be buying a ream of computer paper (and also covering every bit of junk mail that comes through my door).
