Yesterday the mailman delivered a package. And the minute I realised what was in the package, even before I opened it, I felt like a little girl on Christmas Eve. The excitement, I think I never opened a package quicker ;-) Want to know what it was? The book written by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen, Acrylic Solutions. A signed copy, now how cool is that?
I 'met' Julie and Chris when I took my first online workshop with them, I think it was Texture Town. I had done a few online workshops, but this one was different. These ladies taught me so much about acrylic paint! The videos were very clear, they explain everything wonderful, they were always there for help, I never had to wait long for an answer, and the best, even now, after all the time, I still have access to the classes. And, these classes are very affordable, so a lot more workshops followed!
Julie heeft net een nieuwe workshop gelanceerd, 8 verschillende schilderijen schilderen. Als je veel wilt leren over acrylverf, trakteer jezelf op dit geweldige boek en volg een workshop. De technieken die je leert helpen je zeker verder, dat beloof ik ;-)
Julie just launched a new workshop, how to paint 8 different paintings. If you want to know acrylic paint, treat yourself with the book, and consider taking a workshop, your paintingskills will improve rapidly, I promise ;-)
Maar met alleen het boek kom je ook al een heel eind, heel veel uitleg, heel veel foto's, en heel veel inspirerende kunst!
But the book will get you going too, lots of explanation, lots of photos and a lot of inspiring art!
En het beste heb ik natuurlijk voor het laatst bewaard, want waar slaat de titel van dit blogje nou op? Nou, helemaal achterin, ja, het is echt waar, staat een schilderij van mijn hand!! En hoewel het voor de inhoud van het boek helemaal niet nodig is, is hij toch geplaatst en dat vind ik zo gaaf. En ik vind het super lief dat deze twee dames dit gedaan hebben! Julie, ik ben er weer bij hoor, ik heb wel zin om 8 schilderijen te maken ;-)
Now I saved the best part, bet you're all wondering what the title of this post is about. Well, all the way back in the book, there's an image of my painting! Yes, my painting! Reading the book I realised these ladies didn't need to publish this image, but they did and that is the sweetest thing ever! Thank you both so much, I am super proud and honoured to be in your great book! Julie, count me in for the new workshop, I am ready to paint 8 paintings ;-)
Dus, wil je (beter) leren schilderen, dit boek én de workshops zijn een echte aanrader! Volg de linkjes in dit bericht voor meer info en om Julie en Chris beter te leren kennen ;-)
Anyway, want to learn how to paint (better), I can really recommand the book ánd the workshops! Follow the different links in this blogpost for more info and getting to know Julie and Chris ;-)

Congrats, Brigette!
Hi Brigitte...sorry I don't make it by here more often...I've had problems with the site sometimes...I made it fine today. It's probably my computer acting up. I like the direction your art is going! I haven't bought Julie and Chris' book yet....they are both good teachers and artists!
