This year, I wanted to spend more time with you in &#8220;live&#8221; online classes. We did that in Spring, Summer, and Fall sessions of Diving Deep. <strong>Students in the Diving Deep classes worked really hard, learned to push their creative limits, and formed a deep, intimate connection to their art.<\/strong> Being a part of that process is an honor I&#8217;ll never forget. Folks enrolled in\u00a0Fluid Art, Freeing the Muse, Art Journaling 101, and Small Creative Acts learned to <a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/fluid-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make mini masterpieces with fluid paint<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/freeing-the-muse-an-online-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">push past creative blocks<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/art-journaling-101-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create an intuitive art journaling practice<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/the-small-creative-acts-e-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uncover their creativity with one small creative act a day<\/a>.

Make an art pen pal and make art together.<\/strong> I did with artist Cait Sherwood and it was a magical experience. We created two gorgeous journals that we sent back and forth through the mail. Imagine getting a big art surprise in the mail every few months! What a treat to see what she has done, how it&#8217;s changed, and gather inspiration for your contribution.<\/p>\n<p>You can see our journals and a photo of when we finally met in person this summer:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/my-completed-collaborative-art-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Collaborative Art Journal\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. It&#8217;s okay to paint some ugly stuff.<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes I don&#8217;t like my mindful art journal pages, and so I add layers and see where it takes me.\u00a0 This intuitive art journaling process can lead to pleasant surprises.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/trusting-the-process-notes-from-an-intuitive-art-journaling-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trusting the Process: Notes from an Intuitive Art Journaling Class<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
