You’re doing great and the course looks fantastic! Feel free to drop a link here so folks can check it out! I’m also very excited about the DOG drawing session you’re having soon! 💐🦮💕✨
This is a lovely idea Beth, that reflects your kind heart ❤️ i am very proud that I ended the 100 days project this year with my project of little paper cutouts and recently started a new adventure with linocut and making stamps! 😊
Ooooh lino cut stamps sounds delightful! I really loved your papercut 100-day project. 100 days of anything takes so much dedication! Well done, Teresa! 👏😬
I don’t know if it’s a milestone but I’m going to try my first live drawing session with Beth. I’m deaf so I’m not sure how it will go but I’m excited. I just have to work out the time zone difference to uk time.
Beth thank you for adding me I’m doing this for mental health and pain management some days are hard but I try and do something. And when I post on instagram and get just one comment in means so much. You can find me on instagram and see my good /bad/ cock ups @margoslingartforfun
So thank you again I look forward to seeing everyone’s work 🤗❤️🤗
I'm so glad you're here, Mary! And honored that you're attending on Friday as your first live session! I look forward to your feedback.
I will post all the instructions in Zoom session chat, so you'll have the image times and information. I'll share a screenshot of where to find that in a chat thread for you and anyone else who might be new to Zoom. Are you reading this on the Substack app or do you usually use a browser to look at these posts?
I’m thinking about more visuals here in time for summer hols and what that might bring - maybe some more video too - a toolkit released over a few days... eeeek! Well done everyone!
A painting I completed last year in a painting class was honored during the 37th annual League for Innovation International Student Art Awards, which highlights the best artwork by community college students in North America. Woot woot!
Thank you Beth! I have been doing a creative practice each day for the past 22 days! I have been exploring drawing from photos, doodle designs that give me peace of mind, and continue to play with paints and colors.
After a few unmotivated weeks I'm on a super productive streak :) I've finished a couple of new illustrations, sketched a banner for #kidlitart and opened my online print store!
That's incredible! I think weeks like that can be like springboards toward creative breakthroughs sometimes. Way to go! Feel free to share your online print store link here so we can all shop!
This is so so lovely! Thank you Beth for making this space and for modelling celebrating small wins - I'm terrible at that and constantly need to battle my internal voice around not doing enough or not being quick enough. I just managed to post my first post on Substack and am excited to keep going, really hoping I can practice what I preach and post the not so good drawings as well as the slightly better ones! Also managed to finally make progress cleaning out my spider webby shed yesterday which will eventually be great for more equipment storage - I tried to imagine myself as a short Welsh Indiana Jones and rewarded myself with a mint choc chip ice cream cone afterwards!
I’ve just had feedback from Bloomsbury on the three rough spreads i sent in for my asssignment - and they really liked them. Gave me some great suggestions for development, and said they look very French - which is a huge compliment!
On 29th July,2023 I took a leap of faith and started my Patreon Page- https://www.patreon.com/Shivam_Choudhary. And sending you a lot of love and gratitude for becoming my first ever Patron, wohoooo!!!💜
I am excited to see where my Patreon journey will lead me. I'd love to come back year later on this post and share my experience of my Patreon journey with everyone. 🥳
Yay, Shivam! I'm so glad you posted this, so I can shout it out in our session today! I want everyone to know what a wonderful, supportive community you're creating. Looking forward to messes and happy accidents! 🎨
Hi all, so excited to be here! Just launched my newsletter yesterday and joined this Drawing Club today, 2 milestones I know will help me create and play more frequently like I crave. 😊🎉
Thank you so much!! I have been drawing a ton this month, so I think it is a good motivator in the back of my mind. Looking forward to sharing more on here soon.
Hi Beth! Aw, you're so sweet! Thank you! I am loving this platform and your wonderful club. So inspired by all of the work everyone shares. I haven't been able to attend any live drawing sessions yet, but I plan to attend the Fast Faces one this weekend! Looking forward to it.
I’m doing Folktale Week, not yet posting but decided to keep at it anyway. So I’ve read, researched, experimented, and kept going with the challenge. And most important, enjoying it as a process!
Yay! I love that you're participating and using this as an opportunity to learn and stretch yourself. I totally agree that enjoying the process is most important! Even if you never post your work, this is a brilliant milestone! Thanks so much for sharing! 💐😸 I look forward to shouting you out and sending a sticker!

My latest milestone was to step out of my comfort zone and enter some art competitions.
I have one tomorrow - LIVE painting at the Art Battle City Championships...Im really nervous.
All the luck to you for tomorrow’s Championship!! You are awesome Char 💕
Thank you so much Citla!
You’ll do great! Can’t wait to watch and cheer you on. I’ve already registered to cast my vote! 👏😬
Thanks Beth!!!

Your milestone from a few months ago is definitely worth a mention! It really spoke to me and may have inspired this page in some ways. 👏😄
Hahaha, you are amazing! Somedays, just getting out of bed is a milestone! :)

Thanks Beth! I’ve posted 4 pieces, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot more than I thought. I got totally sucked into the process and storytelling.
