Hi there I’m Carla. Wondering who Sketchy Friends are. Well anybody who likes to paint anybody who likes to draw and sketch I’m happy to have you be my friend. I have found sketching and painting to be almost like a meditation. I can’t think of anything bad or have that conversation in my head when you’re busy looking at the world around you and sketching and painting and interpreting what you see. I have chosen watercolor as my medium of choice because it is such a magical thing to watch that paint merge on the paper. I find watercolor so portable and clean and simple and once you get to know it’s a little secrets i think you will find it pretty user-friendly. I hope by taking some of these classes and painting along with me and as I give you pointers and tips as I paint along You’ll start to figure out how this medium works. Overtime I’ll develop some classes that will be more skills based classes but for now let’s just have fun and paint. I choose to paint frequently and paint small. That gives you the chance to try something out and if it didn’t work out just go get another small piece of paper. I like cards because it then becomes useful art. And when somebody gets a hand-painted card they’re pretty impressed. They can’t believe you did it. and usually when I’m painting a card for somebody. I’m thinking about them the whole time I’m painting it so that add something special to it as well. When I am outside painting in a café or some thing people go buy me all the time and most of them say I’ve always wanted to do that! So Here you are doing it. I think if I could give you one small piece of advice it would be not to worry about it. It’s just a small little piece of paper. It’s not a big deal. I don’t forget there’s always two sides to a piece of paper. And in the end you don’t have to mail the thing. So relax and enjoy the journey and become one of My Sketchy Friends!
