Mary Corrigan's May Flowers
What a beautiful collection.
Ginger's 8-week floral tutorials: 8 x 8 stretched canvas heavy body Golden paints. Finished them, I think, I may go back and do some touch-ups. This was so fun, small paintings that don't take much time to paint, but have a big impact when coupled with others. Christmas is such a stressful time for me and I think I have just finished some of the gifts I will give at Christmas time!

Country Pansies
Ginger's 'Country Pansies' is an acrylic painting tutorial that brings together the best of both worlds – it is suitable for both the beginner eager to learn the basics, and the advanced artist looking to refine their skills. In this lesson, Ginger adeptly guides you through the creation of a colorful scene with rustic charm, the star of which is a cheerful gathering of country pansies displayed in a vibrant clay pot.
Let's dive in. Start with a mid-toned canvas, ideally in an ochre or light brown shade to provide a natural and warm backdrop. Then, create a loose sketch of your clay pot. Don't worry about precision here; the beauty of this painting lies in its unrefined charm. Ginger recommends a freehand sketch to promote this rustic aesthetic. Once you're satisfied with your pot, fill it with an array of pansies. Consider a palette of deep purples, sunny yellows, and warm pinks for these little flowers, making sure to create a sense of depth by layering your hues. Remember to let each layer dry before proceeding to the next to avoid muddy colors.
Throughout the tutorial, Ginger encourages you to explore your creativity. It is not about painting a perfect picture, but about capturing the essence and charm of country pansies in a clay pot. This lesson is a joyful celebration of colors and rustic simplicity, perfect for anyone eager to improve their acrylic painting skills.
This 12x12 3-Cookie tutorial will be for our Red, Pink, and Purple Members.

White Rabbit Syndrome
Do you find yourself ensnared by the "White Rabbit Syndrome," allowing your internal timekeeper to govern your reality, much like the frantic rabbit in Lewis Carroll's Wonderland? Recent studies suggest that the average adult male has an additional 3.5 hours each week to devote to calming hobbies or interests. Yet, why does it feel like the hands of the clock spin faster than we can keep up?
Much like Alice's bewildering adventure, do you feel a relentless white rabbit perched on your shoulder, always whispering that there's a mounting pile of work and a dwindling pool of time? This sense of racing against the clock is a sentiment my partner Jon and I share, especially when we're home, immersed in our creative endeavors of filming and painting in the studio.
