The Process of Making Art



I am fascinated by the process of art making, whereby artists take an idea or inspiration and turn it into art.  Last weekend I attended a free virtual art retreat from Art is Magic, and most of the classes I took sparked my interest in that way.

One of the classes I took was "The Fetch:  An Art of Sacred Seeing", and in this class, artist Amanda Grace shared her tips for finding and working with imagery.  This wasn't limited to collage, but included things like altered books and using carbon paper to transfer images.

Amanda's Irish accent was a treat to listen to, and she has a great Instagram TV series on mixed media supplies.
