It would be an understatement to say that recently I’ve been feeling a little uninspired. 👀
So in seeking to reignite my creativity, I decided to join an art class and thought it would be a cool idea if it was something that my husband, Ed, and I could do together.
Already being a creative professional, I didn’t want this to feel like work. I just wanted to have fun, no pressure to be good, just an experiment in creativity.
I liked the idea of something I could do as a project, so that I could commit to the beginning and the end of a series and not have to commit to going to classes in perpetuity.
Ed was keen on the idea and came across a Mock-a-Master class by local Capetonian artist, Kim Watermeyer, at her In The Zone Art studio. You choose a theme and then create a series of paintings (approximately 9) inspired by the styles of famous artists. It sounded like the perfect thing!
I settled on the theme of a fox, inspired by my dog Bailey, who sort of looks like one. PS. As you might imagine, painting foxes is a challenge – had I given it more thought, I might have chosen an easier theme. 😂
