    Creative Boost for 2023

    Back in 2021 I completed CVP (Creative Visionary Program). It was one of those courses I’d looked at for a while but never taken the plunge.  In part, my reluctance was that for an online course it has a higher price tag than most. But the main reason was because of the time commitment.  CVP…

    Art on the Go

    Now that I’m back to bi-monthly commuting for work, my studio time has taken a bit of a hit.  Especially when you combine that with the shorter days in the winter. Winter always makes early morning and evening sessions a bit of a challenge.  So, I have been playing around with ways that I can…

    Reflections

    It has been a few months since completing CVP. Now I’m dipping in and out of the portal to re-watch content. I thought I’d reflect on my first pass to capture and remind myself of some of the key learnings.  There was so much great content in the 3 month course I definitely need to…

    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…

    Brrrr – It’s April!

    Well, despite the freezing cold weather there does seem to be a lot more optimism around at the moment.  Who would have thought that we’d be so excited about meeting people outdoors in April!  I just hope the news coverage of the AstraZeneca vaccine doesn’t put people off having the jab.  I had mine a…

    Creative Visionary Programme

    I’m now four weeks into a 3-month online course called Creative Visionary Programme (CVP). And I have to say its unlike any online art programme I’ve been involved in.  Not only is it a huge community, but geographically participants are from all over the globe. My goal was to get some inspiration and learn some…

  • The Wisdom of Others

    The Wisdom of Others

    The Power of Community One of the things I like, or should say liked (past tense) prior to lockdown, was time to myself creating art.  I spend much of my working day with members of my team or colleagues, so escaping to the studio always gave me a much needed break.  Since March, however, the…

    Another Online Art Course

    If you’ve read my previous updates you may have guessed I’m a bit of sucker for a workshop. As we seem to have been in lockdown forever this has meant switching from physical attendance to virtual learning.  Benefits of Online Training On the plus side, virtual courses mean you get to work through at your…

    Perfectly Imperfect Take Two

    I was awake this morning around 5am, which sadly seems to have become a new routine.  This whole COVID thing is an almighty pain in the butt and I, like many others, have been hugely effected by the economic ramifications of the restrictions which hasn’t left much time for my art recently. Flicking through Instagram, I…

    Perfectly Imperfect

    That’s the name of the online art course I’m currently doing. Its actually ‘Perfectly Imperfect: Discovering Your Visual Language‘ run by the brilliant Lorna Crane, and so far it has been great! If you need a distraction from all the doom and gloom this course is just the thing. Not only do you get videos…
