Lesson 1
In this lesson, I’m sharing about the process of how I make a painting!
And I’ll share the “secret” SWIPE method that I use for many of the paintings I create.
Lesson 2
In this lesson, we’re bringing in all the colors and “Painting Hope!”
And I'll share several ways/options you can “Sketch the painting”
Lesson 3
Yay! You’ve “Painted Hope!” And it’s filled to the brim with joy and color!
Now we’re moving to our final step, where you’re painting around the word and flowers.
Hi, I'm Tricia
This is me… I love color and whimsy. I love the beach. I love bubblegum pink. I love creating the “beautiful wonky!” To me, wonky stands for the beautifully imperfect. I love to draw girls and dresses and houses and flowers, just like I did when I was eight. And it is still wonky. I love fashion design. Just like I loved as a teenager. But I love wonky fashion design like Gucci… mismatched colors and fabrics... so beautifully imperfect. And I love the beautifully imperfect! It gives so. much. more. freedom!
Fast forward from 8 years old to 30 years old. And it was at 30 that my art life bloomed again. It was a reblooming. A butterfly time. I was inspired by a “wonky” artist at the beach by the name of Nancy Swann Drew. She was my hero because she painted with color and freedom. From her inspiration, I picked up pencil and paintbrush and a sharpie marker. I played with paint and added paper to my paintings. And my art career began!
A little gallery at the beach started selling my paintings. Then I entered art shows. Then it was Saks Fifth Avenue. And then some celebrities bought my art. And people actually wanted to take lessons. I started “Art Nights” with friends painting around my dining room table. And then started camps and retreats. It’s been amazingly wonderfully wonky! Magic happens in the wonky!
Cheers to all the magic and all the wonky of life! And cheers to our God who believes in us.
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
