In June, I went to Arlington, Texas to teach together with MaryBeth Shaw, Jodi Ohl and Gina Rossi Armfield an Art Journaling Live Class which was recorded and is now available as 2 DVDs in my shop and also as a Download from the North Light Shop.
The cool thing is that you get four teachers and four art journaling classes in one. Here is the sneak of my part of the class – I was first up early in the morning:
Hope you enjoy it!
Happy Art Journaling my friends

Loved seeing the ‘scenes’ from your studio Nat. The paintings look wonderful – love your city paintings – always! Congratulations on the fun things you are doing ie: book, dvd etc. Sooooo excited for you and so enjoy watching you climbing towards your dreams. XXj.
Awe- thank you Joi – you always write the sweetest and encouraging comments. Thank you for your support <3
My new Acrylic Painting Workshop Videos: Colorful Backgrounds, Acrylics Demystified, Raw Canvas Staining and Creating Canvas Texture are out now and I am super excited. It was so much fun to make them and I love how they came out. They are loaded with techniques, tips and fun things. Here is a preview for all four videos:
You can purchase the videos as DVD’s but also download them. Here are the links:
Have a wonderful day!
ALL OF THEM sound the most interesting Nat because YOU are teaching them! Perhaps the colorful backgrounds would be my first choice but not sure that’s right either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER choice of topics. So excited that you did these. I know they will be a great resource for us all. XXj.
Awe- thank you Joi !!!!
Last year was really a whirlwind of a year and I might have to pinch myself still in disbelief things really happened- LOL. For example my trip to Cincinnati, Ohio where I was invited to film some Mixed Media DVD’s for F&W Media (parent company of Cloth Paper Scissors, Artists Magazine, North Light Books, Artists and Makers and many many more).
It was quite an operation and it was pretty cool to see how filming outside of a tiny messy studio with a little webcam works and how much work and how many awesome fun people are involved. Let me show you some behind the scenes photos :)
I was so crazy nervous the first of the four days- you have no idea. Besides being nervous about the whole camera situation I also became pretty aware that I have an accent and make language mistakes …what if I would really blow it…LOL. No worries though …I think I compensated that with funny faces ;)
Everything was good – The crew was super super sweet and Kristy Conlin who was my “student” for the filming was super fun to work with! We laughed a lot …
And made smart comments about weird things…
and made very important decisions on what to eat for lunch
and just picked on each other ….LOL
and smiled….a lot …when we didn’t know if the camera was already rolling or not…
Here is Amy Jones, my producer – she is so sweet and awesome and organized and really put me at ease and was just amazingly encouraging and welcoming!
She also kept all of us in check …because you know…lot’s of Shenanigans happened during the takes ;)
Lot’s of cameras and lot’s of light- boy – it was HOT in there …I have a new respect for everyone working in studios …ever walked through the light section of a big department store in your winter jacket? Double that feeling and you are close! Because of the noise you can’t run the air conditioner to cool it down either and it was a really warm November on top. So every time we were done with a take we pretty much went out side to cool off a bit.
It was great to see how they had set up the set with my artwork
This is Sam – above – so much fun to work with him and Erin – below left. They are amazing!!!
And see George mounted on the camera?
Yup- that is a trick to keep you reminded to look at him and so into the camera while talking …because…it is awkward to talk to the a camera…but talking to George …ha …nice ;)
Amy stuck George into my Art Journal when I went home, which I forgot until I was teaching a class at Pratt where he fell out …very weird moment- LOL – try and explain that ;)…I need to do a page with him – LOL
Such a wonderful crew of people- It was so wonderful to work with them and the four days went by really quick. I hope I will see them again :)
The DVD’s are estimated to come out in March this year and I am looking forward to tell you what the content is- that I wasn’t allowed to share yet :)
I hope all of you on the East Coast are all warm and safe right now with the snow storm – I am snuggled into my warm studio and I am planning on doing some artwork and eat some hearty stew today. Have a wonderful weekend!
Looks like fun! I bet it must have been a great experience, especially if George was included. I may use that tip by the way :D
LOL- use ahead Kasia ;)
Hi Nat, thanx for the tour, it was great reading it because your happiness came through.
Sandy
awe thank you Sandy!!!
What fun, you and Kristy!! I’m sure it will be amazing. Love that crew :)
thank you Mary Beth :) yes they are awesome!
Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes Nat. I bet you rocked it and no doubt these DVDs will be well received. Congratulations.
Thank you Seth for your constant encouragement – you are the best!
It looks like you had a grand time, in spite of being nervous before you started. You are an awesome teacher, and I know that is what shone through. So…now you are a star!!
Snug in and stay warm, hope you don’t get too much snow!
awe – thank you Maura!!! And nah – a mixed media dvd does not make you a star …LOL – just a normal Kraut ;)
hope you are safe and sound too and have a nice warm day – assuming you are also getting slammed with snow today.
This looks like it was a whoot of a time – the best kind! I can not wait to see what you created! Thanks for a fun tour of your trip!
I agree -the fun makes it the best kind! Thank you for your sweet comment Rae!
