Inspiration Wednesday - Week 2

Here is week two of Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesdays.

First I want to answer questions I received in emails.

Why did I join.

Why would I spend the money when I could just watch other YouTube videos.

How do I choose which workshops to take.

Here are my answers.

It's an investment in myself. 

I want to learn as much as I can. 

Meet other artists.

I don't know many in my area. Mostly scrapbookers but I don't scrapbook.

Many workshops that I have taken were not expensive.

I do bookmark them and then go back and read the information again. 

Donna's workshop is $1.40/week for 25 weeks.

My favorite workshops are from artists who's site has unlimited access to the workshops.

I tend to go back and watch them again.

I choose workshops based on what I currently love to create.

I love Abstracts and Mixed Media so I gravitate to those.

Or art that is completely outside my comfort zone but I want to learn it, like drawing faces.

I love artists who are messy, grungy and make you feel like you can do anything.

Many workshops I have taken are from artists who started me on my journey in becoming an artist.

Yes, they are trying to make money.

BUT

If you are a full time working artist, wouldn't you be trying to make money too?

I hope that answers the questions plus a few more.

Now, here is my page for the second week. It was all about collage.

This is my collage before I added more texture and color.

Here is the finished page.  Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Here are a couple of close ups.

I really love this page.

I wish I created it on a canvas.
