Moving House

Did you get your free May 2024 Calendar Page? If not it's over on the Free Gifts Tab on the Home Page.

We haven't been able to start the Donkey Drawing just yet as we are right in the middle of selling our house and moving to a bigger one with more rooms to accommodate our Arts & Crafts.

If you have ever been through this you will know what it is like, everything packed away in boxes.

As soon as we move house and get everything in place, we will start the Donkey Drawing.

We will be doing a really easy version and a full on pucker version which will be fun, look forward to doing that.

So stay with us and have patience until we get started again.

This Page is on hold for the moment, we are working on it.

We are making great progress setting up our site. You can now find a Visual Art Club, where you can join us having fun.

Just sign up, it's all free and you will find our Art Club is like a forum but a little bit different.

You can ask questions, ask for help with any art problems you may have, help others, leave comments for others, show your beautiful art and much more.

Once you have signed up, you will get your comments on your own page where family and friends can comment on what you say.

Best of all, it's all free.

See you there...

What's New For November?

Well, quite a lot of November has already gone, I can't believe time is going so fast, so what have we got planned for what's left.

New Drawing

I am planning my next drawing tutorial (I can't tell you what it is, it's a surprise) and hope to have it up and running by the end of November.

Questions & Answers

We are setting up a questions and answers section so get thinking about what you need to know and ask those questions.

As there isn't long left in November I think that's enough to be getting on with for now.
