Dear
friends!
This is rather unusual art lesson from
my personal teacher of fearless art – Tallulah Jade Rainbow. She just turned 4
in January and was painting in this style since she was 1. While observing her
for 3 years I have learned to let go of my attachment to outcome, I learned to
take risks, to play and be free. Although she is an abstract artist and I paint
faces – principles of fearless art are the same. We share the same passion for
stencils, especially StencilGirl Products, and hey – we are not getting paid
to say that. We just love stencilling and that is the truth! I hope you enjoy
this class and have fun creating!
Instructions
for this class from Tallulah:
- Go large.
- Imagine a story.
- Play.
- Play more.
- Get covered in paint.
- Sing and dance in between.
- Go for it.
- Really go for it.
- Never mind the outcome.
- Layer.
- Experiment.
- Make lots of random marks.
- Accidents are always happy.
- Have fun!
- Don’t forget the stencils!

I love watching Tallulah paint,such joy and a brave mom. Just before I watched this I had a paint explosion. I was painting in my LR and the top exploded off my distress paint, it is on the couch, my arms pants, shirt, everywhere. I had to stop and decided to check in with SG. I feel like this was a message at the perfect time. Thank you Tallulah!
ReplyDeleteThank you Denise! Oh well, definitely a message! Time to have fun and get covered! :)
ReplyDeleteTallulah taught me a lot about being free and loose. I am going to watch this video often. Excellent work and the joy and release touches me deeply. ghoagland (at) msn (dot com).
