Viva Mexico!

It`s been a busy week, I have decided to finally open my studio to

a few students and started teaching live sessions, I love it but

it takes so much of my time and now between my learning sessions 

is a super tight schedule but I have to say I love it, this moment is 

calling for that ans so I most open the door to it!

Here is some of my progress at the art school!  Because my teachers

are guys, they have given me male figures and faces to work with, I

never have tired it before, I use to not like it but after this exercises I

now love it!  I`ve learned so much from this one bellow!  The biggest

issue is the size, they are super large and so I am learning to work with

that format which is not easy for me but I love how it`s developing!

I guess is all about loosing the fear of trying things and embracing new

possibilities, it opens new doors, new dreams, new ideas, a new self.

A watercolor study, I also tried for the first time a nude, I have been reluctant to 

them, I don`t like it, when the teacher gave me the reference I was like, 

NO WAY!  but he insisted, next week we`ll have a real nude model, 

let`s see how that goes!

This is a cover of one of my altered books, the new course I started

in my live sessions at the studio, it`s a lot of fun and it allows so much

exploring!  If you never hear of altered books before, please learn more

about it here and check out my online course including over 20 videos

of techniques and ideas for it! 

Excuse me please!!   

This happens a lot! Lol!

This, in a day of freedom, relaxation and content, with my new aquired

knowledge, I can see I am getting to were I want!

We are in the celebration of our Independence

and so I was invited to sing a few traditional songs

over the art school, I am also taking the singing

workshop and so I share with you one of the songs,

it`s named "Si nos dejan" " If they let us" it`s

very popular over here and I hope you enjoy it! 

Being your self is good for you!

It is amazing how you can never get tired when you are

being your true self, I can stay hours practicing what I am learning

and it doesn`t feel wrong or tired, on the contrary, I am getting a feeling

of peace, of content, of accomplishment and I go to bed with a

big smile on my face and I get up with excitement in the morning!

For this painting I decided to make a study in charcoal first,

and I love the ending result of the final piece which was all made in

watercolors, so soft and delicate it gives me a romantic feel

and those colors came out super interesting!

Here are the scones I was telling you about!

  They are of chocolate chips and blue berries, 

this is the first time I know about them and 

try them, they were great, I tried the regular recipe 

but now I want to experiment with other ingredients

and see how they turn out! 

And here is the update of my art school!  I am having lots of fun 

along with my brother and I keep saying to my self, hoooo!! 

Haaaaa!! and Yeeees!  Lol!!  

  I love the exercises, they are helping me a lot

and making my life easier, it`s actually more fun to create now

and I was having fun already!

And at home I went for this drawing, after so many different exercises at class,

I felt this came out easier than before, me got excited!!  So much practice by my

self is also paying off, my years of studying alone weren`t in vain! On the 

contrary, it made me trully open to all they are teaching me now, I listen vividly 

of to the longing to learn...

For those who are interested in my classes, thank you so much!  I have you in 

my mind, I just want to get better to offer you a super class but yes I will

keep creating my classes for you, just be a little patient please!!  We`ll

have a lot of fun creating together in the near future!!  ;D
