There's so much good news to share, I can barely contain myself! Suffice to say that life is going very well personally and professionally and I couldn't be happier!!  Today's post is going to be short and sweet as I have my head in the sand and nose to the grindstone as I prepare to take off on Monday morning bright and early to go film 4 DVD's for F&W Media (North Light Books, Artists Network, Cloth Paper Scissors)!!!!  WHOOOHOO super excited about that!  Those new videos will be out in January so save some of your holiday money so you can pick up a few of the new products come the end of  that month (2017)!

As a special thank you to my friends, students and followers, I'll be doing giveaways every week (maybe even more than once a week in September)!  Yay! Everyone loves a giveaway, right???


 Are you ready for the first giveaway??  Here it is--I'm giving away an assortment of paint markers by Pebeo!  I have to say, both the oil paint pens and acrylic paint pens are luscious.  Highly pigmented, smooth, free flowing and great coverage!  You will get  a few pens that are not even released yet in the states!  All the pens will be available soon, the oil paint pens (4Artist Markers) are currently available  at Amazon or Dick Blicks

 Look how luscious this white is!
 The pink pen is part of the acrylic line of decoMarkers-these are not yet released however I was the lucky recipient of a generous sampling of both lines and a variety of the tips.    I'll be using them in my next DVD so I have a few extras on hand for YOU!





l Here's what you will receive in your prize pack!  To enter, it's simple..just leave me a comment and let me know what you will be working on this fall, I love to hear what you are up to!

Drawing will be held on Sunday, September 4th.  I will however not be able to ship until the following week as I'll be out of town.  Hopefully you will be okay with that :)

I just signed up for your funky bird class ( actually forgot real name) that I have been wanting to take for some time. Thought they would cheer me up during some hard health times with my hubby. I'm sure the pens would be great to add some of those great details that you do on the birds. Thanks.

What a great post, this fall I am hoping to continue on the learning path to build my knowledge on painting. I have been [art] journaling for almost 10 years and really want to explore more surfaces and ideas to get off the page and onto other substrates.

So happy to hear that things are going well for you, that makes me happy! Thank you for the chance to win these awesome paint markers. I am working on a variety of things this fall, from a canvas for my sister, to my Christmas cards, to some home decor items ( I just moved into a new apt. In late June). I could use these markers for all of these and more. That pink color is luscious :-). Have a very safe trip to F&W and enjoy the filming. We will enjoy seeing them when they are released.

Hugs,
Maureen

cincat said...

Hey Jodi. I'm super excited about taking your Zen class in October. I know it's going to be fun. One thing I'm in the process of doing this fall is finally getting a real studio in one of the spare rooms. I'm so glad I will have all my art supplies at my fingertips and not have to go rummaging thru boxes that are scattered in other rooms. I recently got back into my art after years of just not having any confidence to start. I figure better late than never...that really is a GREAT saying. :)

kim said...

I will be working in my art journal. playing with tips and tricks learned from you! Now I need new paint pens to add to the mix

Unknown said...

Thanks for the chance to win the markers. Looking forward to getting your book.

I bought your abstract dvd a while back and have not had a chance to view it. As the busy days of summer slip away, I will be slowing down and getting into my attempt at abstract art. Can't wait!

Unknown said...

Shared this! I'm looking forward to testing these markers out on fall cards!

Unknown said...

That's strange... I don't see my first post.

Unknown said...

I am excited to say I will be working on Pods and Zen this Fall. I am getting braver and want to paint bigger.

DWA @ Studio Z said...

I am working on art journals. This year I am trying to emphasize " Finished, not perfect." Often trying to be perfect keeps me from finishing.

I am anxiously looking forward to working on Zen Paintings this fall! And hopefully using Pebeo Paint Markers!

I haven't picked a new art class for the fall yet but I have been eyeing quite a few, your new Zen painting class is among my many desires. I also just bought a new Dyan Reavely art journal, so I am really looking forward to using it.

Artist In Bloom said...

Well, I have been unemployed for a little while but thankfully I am waiting to hear about a job overseas, these markers would be perfect as where I am going I will not have the capability to get things as easily as I can here in the US. I want to continue to take art classes while I work abroad and hopefully be able to take your new class very soon Jodi! Thank you! Gloria Bryant

The art gods---the sobriety gods and the health gods are smiling down on me----unfortunatelyt the financial gods are hiding out in the background for now. Thanks for offering this to someone, hopefully its me!!!

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

Always exciting to get a product that is new. Yippee Yeah

Beverley Johnston said...

Omg can't wait to get your book sounds fantastic. I'm a pebeo fan it broke my heart when they stopped making one of my fav colours. Now to bring out those pens is such aq brillant idea and i love that they are quite fat looking to hold in my misshappened arthritic tremoring hands. Oh yes the works and my latest piece I'm working on is quite the challenge for the tremor. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1256245274387807&set=a.476370825708593.113111.100000070402940&type=3&theater Hope this works not quite sure how i show you my W.I.P. Thanks for considering me possibly.
