  • Graduating CVP

    Graduating CVP

    So before I get into this post the first question I want to address is ‘would I recommend CVP’?  And the answer is a very definite ‘yes’. What is CVP? CVP is a three month, online art course provided by Art2Life with Nicholas Wilton. Nicholas is a very charismatic lead and importantly a heavy weight…

    Spring Break

    This week we have a break in CVP and I have to say I feel like I really need it.  Judging by the comments on social media I haven’t felt as overwhelmed as some of the other participants. All the same, keeping up the pace of tutorials, group & coaching calls and painting practice has…

  • 100 days of Creative Play 11-20

    100 days of Creative Play 11-20

    So the act of completing the first 10 days inspired me for the next 10.  Trying not to think – to just go with your instincts and make instant decisions was a lot tougher than I expected. But it is exactly what children do when they play.  So for the last 10 days I took…
