SALT ARTISTS INTERVIEW

Salt Artists interviewed me for one of their online features. I had fun answering the questions.
I like to keep pretty private these days, but I hope this interview gives a 

little insight into my purpose for the art I create.

Enjoy here, and Thank You to Salt Artists!

Local + Online Art Classes

I'm beginning a watercolor class for locals here in London and also online- a live class online!  That means you can be anywhere and as long as you have a computer or a smartphone,  you can take this class. Online classes beginning at £7 ($10). 

In these classes I'll be teaching you how to keep a daily sketchbook, how to see shape within still-life setups, and landscapes, how to draw a face, and with only a few classes you will know how to paint pretty much anything you see easily.

The classes are only 1 hour, and you can choose when.
All you have to do is register by above email.

 
                                                     Can't wait to meet you!

I do a lot of sketchbook posts on Instagram, and I love how they've all compiled together under my hashtag #skchbklndn. I remember years and years ago, my first year of art school we were given a pen (no pencil) and a sketchbook. They didn't want us to erase our sketches or mistakes. I always hated keeping sketchbooks because I always wanted every drawing to be perfect, so that was hard for me at first. But since then (over 10 years ago!) I've learned to love it. 

Have a look here at the collection of my travel sketches and tube sketching.

Pre-Ordering Begins Today!

The Leaf People Print Dress is now available for pre-ordering online!

This beautiful cotton dress has merged two designer's visions- My Little Belleville (me!) and Rose B. Brown. We have come together to create this exclusive Leaf People Print Dress, perfect for that transition into fall, with little 'leaf people' hand-drawn and then custom-printed onto a rich cotton fabric. 

Hand-made and sewn by Rose B. Brown, 

this dress will be a classic you will wear time and time again. 

Ageless, season-less, it is a clothing staple.

Only 10 are available. So hurry.

(Click here to see more versions of the dress!).
