<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes it's the little things that makes an artist's heart go pitter patter! If you are looking for some stocking stuffers or gifts 25.00 or under, this post is for you!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">Here's </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> my top 25 under 25...and honestly, I could have added a dozen or more art supplies to this list but I wanted to keep it 'simple'. :) </span><br />

<b><span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">S</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">tay tuned! I will be releasing my customer appreciation, "Birthday Bonanza" sale soon! (Formerly Pay What You Can Sale). It'll be a bit different this year as over the last two years while I had a great turn out and lots of great engagement/sales, I also had an enormous amount of people who committed to the Pay What You Can offers but never followed through. The result of me having to go back and forth with emails, invoices, reminders...well it was just too overwhelming for me at the holidays and it took away the spirit of the sale for me. </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> This year, I've decided to streamline the sale and change the 'venue' up a bit. BUT, with that said. you'll still get GREAT specials, one of a kind painting offers, destash items, new prints offered, and a few other surprises. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Just wanted to put that out there for my regulars who are waiting for the Pay What You Can Announcement. :)</span></b><br />

I'm frequently asked what I use to film my online classes and other videos so I thought I'd compile a list of what I use. Not everything is the newest model as I only tend to upgrade every couple of years. I'm almost ready to upgrade this year adding on new microphones and MAYBE a new camcorder. I'm debating getting one with 4k but honestly, it's not really necessary for what I'm doing. I'd be curious to hear if anyone has one they use and would recommend.<br />

<br />
1. With live video becoming such a hot thing for spreading the word about what you do, having a tripod that can hold your phone/camera easily is a must. Here's one that's affordable for most. I'll also share one that is a little more top of the line. Create your Facebook Live posts or Instagram stories with ease!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8PNW7C/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01N8PNW7C&linkCode=as2&tag=jodiohl-20&linkId=ebc90ab007189e8979a1fa68bcea8ea5" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=US&ASIN=B01N8PNW7C&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=jodiohl-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=jodiohl-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B01N8PNW7C" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
<br />
A little more top of the line:<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FHQVTN/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B075FHQVTN&linkCode=as2&tag=jodiohl-20&linkId=6e5a497e41aad40192619049733fa3b8" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=US&ASIN=B075FHQVTN&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=jodiohl-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=jodiohl-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B075FHQVTN" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. This lighting kit is probably more than you need, but a bargain with all the extras! I found it to be a good starter set, the tripod lighting stands aren't the sturdiest I've seen but for occasional filming, they do the job. I've had the same bulbs for 2 years now. The only thing I might add is a table top light, but that's just me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

3. After working with the 39.99 standard tripod you find at most electronic stores, I finally invested in a much sturdier product that also had an overhead arm. I purchased this a few years ago and it's made all the difference in the world to me. My filming angles are much better, set up options are infinite with the Vanguard model. There may be newer models out there but if you can catch this on sale, snag it up!<br />
<br />

<br />
4. Probably the most asked question is what camera do you use. I suggest getting a camcorder that is the best you can get within your budget. Mine is middle of the road, it is a bit more pricey but not super expensive. One of my main requirements is great audio and super clear picture (haha, who doesn't want that), but you'd be surprised at the difference in sound and picture clarity between brands. I wish this bundle was available when I made my purchase-it has everything you need and more to get filming!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPRPBYP/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B06XPRPBYP&linkCode=as2&tag=jodiohl-20&linkId=3ebaaeebb78a9912d6582ff1122a2644" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=US&ASIN=B06XPRPBYP&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=jodiohl-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=jodiohl-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B06XPRPBYP" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Now that you have the equipment, you need some software to edit with. If you have a mac-well you are already taken care of with imovie, but I am a PC hold out (and in no hurry to change over), so additional software was necessary.<br />
<br />
I chose a program for me that has more than I will probably ever use, because as I grow in my own understanding of more complex editing options, I want a program that can grow with me. There are a lot of video tutorials on the manufacturers website that should be more than enough to get you started. <br />
<br />
Honestly though, in addition to having a robust program, you really need a fast computer to render your files. If your speed is too slow, you'll find producing your videos akin to stirring molasses. Very thick molasses!<br />
<br />
Internet--well suffice to say you need to have lightening fast service to upload your video files as well. Trust me on this one, after spending 4 hours uploading a 10 minute video on DSL--upgrading to the turbo charge cable internet surface was a HUGE blessing, that same video size now takes me about 7 minutes or so to upload if not faster.<br />
<br />
I'm not an expert on how fast is optimal for your computer/internet, but my method is to get the fastest you can afford. You'll be glad you did!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you found some of these suggestions helpful as you get started filming your craft or hobby. It's a big investment, but you are worth it!<br />
<br />
As I find new things or think of additional add on items you could use, I'll update this post. Until then, hit record and have fun!<br />
<br />
Gratefully yours,<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's been a whirlwind few months as you can probably tell by my blogging absence (something I vow to do better with in the New Year). Tons of travel, several classes and the biggest news of all, I have a new Granbaby-Elena, who was born on October 30th. I was blessed my son and daughter in law allowed me to be in for the whole birth, what a miracle!</span></div>

*Winner of my giveaway announced at the end of this post** :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you have an idea for something, make that a BIG idea, how do you go about making sure that you accomplish it? More or less, I'm talking about creative ideas but honestly, it could pertain to anything you'd like to achieve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know for me, I often sit and percolate over my initial musing and decide the pros and cons of doing something in my head before I take action. The head-game can be slightly dangerous though because you can talk yourself out of doing something as much as you can get excited about the idea. The longer you stay in your head can also mean the less likely you actually put the plan into action.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the last couple of years, I have been releasing one to two new online classes a year (plus a few mini lessons one friend's collaborative workshops) and that number is actually lower than I set out to do when I first started working for myself. In my head, I thought surely I can do 4-6 a year, no problem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I probably go overboard in my workshops, I often do a lot more than I need to for it to be a successful class which is why it takes me so long to produce a class. Knowing what I know, I have learned that I can't really commit to a class unless I have a full 8 weeks or more to work on it with very little commitments other than the class to distract me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Easier said than done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/532371872/final-sale-day-class-now-open-zen-houses?ref=shop_home_feat_4" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5lsdxzB3bx3gvhIaAhSsqGJvX5dT3FpEQBeq9vL7eNx7BDQDO8_m8OUxArjH3YCRGfMdnxe6B-CVLeMfv-7r8GhsS30O7CooL1dGysp2KM035_fLjrB5azFDbFoexm6lo3e03JQ/s400/18-IMG_0923.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That brings me to my main point: to do big things, you need white space to work in. By white space, I mean time, openness of your schedule, and very little elsepulling you in other directions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've worked in a 'sparkly colorful' space for far too many big projects. Often, it leads to burnout and even physical revolts from my body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time around, during my Zen Houses class I did have a lot of white space cleared out so ideally, the production should have gone smoothly but what I didn't account for is the many things that pop up at the last minute that I 'had' to take on, you know the ones that seem like a good idea at the time and not take too long but end up taking 10x as long as you imagine to do and not such a great idea overall. I also didn't really account for personal commitments that pop up that have got to be taken care of no matter what because that's what life is about being a Mom, friend, co-worker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long story short, I did have to delay the launch by 2 weeks so I could fit in those things that 'popped' up that had I not delayed the class, it would have pretty much killed me to open it on time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so glad my pre-registered students understood and were so very gracious and patient. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you want to do big things, hear are some lessons and strategies I've put into place or learned over the years that I'd thought I'd share with you today. If you have processes in place that have worked for you, I'd love to hear those too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Be cautious on saying 'yes' to every project or request that comes your way. Have a 'mission' statement in place and if the request doesn't support your mission, or doesn't fit into a time space you've allotted for impromptu opportunities, the answer should be no. To quote Derek Sivers, "If it's not a 'hell-yeah, it's a hell no."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. OVER Estimate how long projects will take. Even if you know you can finish your task(s) in a shorter amount of time, it's better to over deliver and under promise rather than the opposite. Leaving a cushion in your timeline for unexpected delays as things will pop up when you least expect them to. (ahhh--hhmmmm.--lesson learned once again for me!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Put stretch goals in place but be realistic in what you can achieve. You want to challenge yourself but not set yourself up for failure by being unrealistic about what is truly possible. Truthfully, most anything you strive to do is possible, but it may not be achievable in a particular time frame if a plan isn't well thought out or executed upon properly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Plan out your project and do check ins periodically. Know what you want to achieve and when you want to achieve it by. I have found that deadlines and due dates (even if they are self-imposed) are so important to keep myself accountable and on track. I like to start with an outline and fill in bullet points under each category for a particular project. This helps me visualize the entire process from start to finish and the key milestones along the way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Delegate-delegate. If you are striving to do something big, it doesn't mean you have to do it all yourself. This may mean you will have to enlist help for things that you normally do at home or at work that are important but not critical for you to do. This is one of the hardest things for me to do honestly, but I've learned along the way that it's critical to do so that you can make that 'white' space available for the truly big things you want to accomplish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what is that big idea next on your list? How are you going to make sure you reach your goal and shine for the rest of the world to see??</div>

I couldn't be more excited to announce my newest online workshop, <b><a href="http://store.creativeworkshops.me/Zen-Houses--Jodi-Ohl_p_205.html" target="_blank">Zen Houses</a></b>, is ready to launch and will be opening on September 6th! This class merges two of my most favorite styles/themes of painting: My Funky Little Houses and Zen Painting into a fun filled (and robust workshop--over 6 hours of content!), </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You'll learn everything from shading, pen and pencil work, sketching, using a specialty surface along with extremely fluid paint, to create a water color'ish, sketcherly, work of art. (I make up a few words here and there...heehee). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I jammed packed this course with several projects, warm ups, and many discussions where I share insights, tips, and tricks of the trade. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a few more pics to inspire you, so you can get a general idea of what you'll be doing during <a href="http://store.creativeworkshops.me/Zen-Houses--Jodi-Ohl_p_205.html" target="_blank">Zen Houses</a> :</div>

PS....one more announcement: some of my creative and friends and I are having an auction this weekend online to raise money for Hurricane Harvey victims. 10 of us are all donating a piece of art for the auction and would love for you to support the cause by placing a bid. The auction starts 7pm on Saturday, the 9th through 11 pm. Highest bidder at the end of the auction wins. EZ peezy. You do need to join the event to participate which you can do so by clicking <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/164925877417553/permalink/164925887417552/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

What a whirlwind weekend and a hot one at that! I don't know about you but here in North Carolina, it's like an oven when you open the doors and step outside. I'm permanently wearing my hair up with a head band to control the sweat dripping down my forehead. Appetizing visualization, isn't it? Sorry about that! I have to laugh because the above picture was taken outside--what was I thinking trying to work in 95 with a feels like 110 heat out there??<br />
<br />
(PS..the winning entry for my class giveaway is announced on this post....read on to see if it was you!)<br />

As I was trying not to melt over the weekend, I spent a lot of time working on my upcoming classes at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point this weekend along with working on projects for my newest online classes set to be released in about 6 weeks and a few other misc projects. After all, if it's too hot to play outside, then we might as well art it up this summer, right? Here's a peek at a couple of things I've done recently in case you want to see: <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYZzEHmPARaDPdlNX_b4YY4kw6C9sYF8QICzqkR0elXZcFErRsTsdSLcgkLDzAWJT2uD0TQd15ByTnbb4n2l2H8oObm-innETMz10NQAKxIhdHVqn3sjLK3z8rqjsRItPYkKxdA/s1600/3-remote+possibilities_10x10_zenabstract_crop_jodiohl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="800" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYZzEHmPARaDPdlNX_b4YY4kw6C9sYF8QICzqkR0elXZcFErRsTsdSLcgkLDzAWJT2uD0TQd15ByTnbb4n2l2H8oObm-innETMz10NQAKxIhdHVqn3sjLK3z8rqjsRItPYkKxdA/s400/3-remote+possibilities_10x10_zenabstract_crop_jodiohl.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

I'm obsessed over patterns and rocks as you might have guessed based on some of my latest paintings! I really think I'm going through a 'grounding' and foundation stage of my life and art. It seems to keep coming back to me in a variety of ways no matter what my original intention was.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9okCylzNSDejs_OQmvn0vCBq18NuLMzjV0qPLkAA7buqg0AzDR5H6PQCByOn9TXPvOdZw3p6TK037_pqt3EAByALaBJmMK2WACVNX4-P12o1PZdrr90vJyu0YOf92029tYmX9Q/s1600/2-IMG_0607.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9okCylzNSDejs_OQmvn0vCBq18NuLMzjV0qPLkAA7buqg0AzDR5H6PQCByOn9TXPvOdZw3p6TK037_pqt3EAByALaBJmMK2WACVNX4-P12o1PZdrr90vJyu0YOf92029tYmX9Q/s400/2-IMG_0607.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
The first rock painting above was a sampler for the larger painting right here. Many times I like to test out ideas on small surfaces before I go big. Not always, but sometimes. It's a great way to work out ideas or to practice techniques before becoming overwhelmed with a large painting.<br />
<br />

I took a little side trip with a friend of mine in search of inspirational houses for my paintings along with texture and patterns. When seeking ideas, sometimes it's best to get beyond your 4 walls and see what's happening out in the world. I can play with this picture in photo shop or some other editing program and really get some interesting colors and texture to inspire me for some future paintings. I also like the faded lettering peeking out on either side. Be observant!<br />

My friend and I also took a rode trip back to our home town in NY together for the holiday. Knowing that I was looking for houses, barns, and landscapes that were interesting...we made a few stops to take in the sites and gather up inspiration. The trip took extra long but who cares, right? Stop and find the barns ;) It's all good.</div>

I still need to finish packing all my supplies for the classes this weekend--that's an overwhelming task to me when I fly. Oh my goodness, I've been procrastinating doing it because I'm afraid I will either forget something so I want to be doubly triply sure that I have all I need, and also because I am still using some of the supplies I need for the class in my work this week. I have to draw the line in the sand and I think today is it kids. It gets packed and I need to move on to something else. <br />
<br />
Have you ever obsessed about something so much it put you in a state of inaction? I've collected everything, It's all staged, but I have yet to pack it despite it needing to get done like yesterday! Something crazy is going on in my mind is all I can say! lol Anywhoosers, this is what I've been up to in part over the weekend and in the past few weeks.<br />
<br />
Now for my other announcement today, I ran a little <a href="https://sweetrepeats.blogspot.com/2017/07/friday-faves-and-zen-houses-giveaway.html" target="_blank">contest</a> over the weekend which I am giving away a spot in my upcoming workshop, Zen Houses and boy oh boy, did the comments come in with some GREAT tools you all are loving! I could go broke just reading what you favorite new supplies are on your table! If you missed it, go back and <a href="https://sweetrepeats.blogspot.com/2017/07/friday-faves-and-zen-houses-giveaway.html" target="_blank">check it out!</a> The drawing is closed however and the winner is....tadahhhhh:<br />

Some unexpected things have come up personally and professionally (some good, some not so good) that are going to compete for my time over the next couple of weeks and I just knew in my heart of hearts that I would not be able to finish all the post production parts on time and deliver the quality product I aim too. I've already sent messages out to the students that have registered so far, so hopefully you saw the email from me yesterday evening. That is in part why I didn't get the blog post up yesterday with my winning announcement, I wanted to get the class and student information out to those people first as soon as I made my decision. Thank you all who have reached out to me, you all rock! Such kind and understanding hearts. I swear.

What I liked about his style is his point of view that success isn't just about following your passion, it's about putting the work in and changing your mindset to be a success. Dreams without action will always be dreams. </td></tr>

One of the most fun things I do as part of my 'job' is to teach students around the world creative techniques that they can use in their art. I have to say to myself, is this really how I earn a living? How dang cool and fun is this!! Whoohoo! Each year I try to take some of the processes I am working on and share them via an online class or two.<br />

In 2016 I launched "<a href="http://store.creativeworkshops.me/search.asp?keyword=jodi+ohl&search.x=0&search.y=0" target="_blank">Dirty Flirty Birds</a>", and then later in the fall I launched "<a href="http://store.creativeworkshops.me/search.asp?keyword=jodi+ohl&search.x=0&search.y=0" target="_blank">Zen Painting</a>". Both of those classes were so highly received by 100's of students that I was just blown away and so grateful to all of you who chose to play along with me!<br />

This year, I have not produced an online class YET....because I released 4 new DVD's over at Artist Network/F & W Media, so you know...I didn't want to compete with myself too much but at the same time, I've been working on something brand new for you in the form of an online class merging two of my favorite styles--Funky Houses and Zen Painting.</div>

Today we are opening up registration at an <a href="http://store.creativeworkshops.me/Zen-Houses--Jodi-Ohl_p_205.html" target="_blank">EARLY EARLY BIRD</a> price so that we can spread the word about this super fun workshop. Bonus, the students have some extra time to collect the supplies and purchase the class (even if they can't do it today). IF YOU CAN register early, the special I'm offering is for 72 hours only.</div>

If Zen Painting (the original class) is any indication of how much fun the students all had, I'm sure this new class will be just as much of an adventure if not more! </div>

I hope to see you in class! </div>

Some of you have asked me what the difference is between my DVD's and Online </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Workshops and are the techniques the same, so I just wanted to give you an over view of how the DVD's work, they are generally an hour or hour and half long (each description on the website will tell you exactly how long). You'll get an overview of the processes featured along with a couple of projects to work on. Because their price is very low and they are meant to be self studies, student do not get hands on help from me as an instructor, I love to see projects but unfortunately can not answer questions as would be able to in the online workshop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The online workshops are usually about 5-6 hours long and encompass projects and step outs that generally should take you about 6 wks to complete. You'll get a PDF that overviews the projects as well as a downloadable supply list, access to private Facebook to interact with peers, upload photos and work with the group along with instructor assistance. Access to the online class is unlimited unless the class gets retired down the road, in that case you will be given ample time (generally a year) to finish the workshop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll find both options a great way to educate yourself around the creative process featured on the DVDs or specialty workshops online, it just depends how in depth you want to dive and whether or not you want to work as a self study or with a group. Obviously there is a price difference between the two options as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Winner Is....You know what they say, "<b><i>Better Late Than Never</i></b>"!! So sorry this is soooooo delayed, no excuses other than I've been knee deep in paint as I get ready for some big upcoming events and haven't really turned on my computer so I can stay focused. Anyone want to be a virtual assistant??? I think it's about time I start thinking about hiring someone!!!! They could have posted for me and I wouldn't have felt like such a slacker! lol<br />

<div>
For my next online class, I will be doing a new version of Zen Painting entitled, "Zen Houses", in essence, I'll be meshing up some of the techniques from Zen Painting and Funky Little Houses for a ultra fun and sooooo whimsical groupings of some of the best houses on the block! Just like all of my classes, you can expect to learn in depth techniques through well thought out exercises and practice sessions before we move through a variety of projects that increases in difficulty/or size before we work on a final project.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I expect the class to go live in August so if you want to be on the early bird sign up, I have created a special interest newsletter list that will inform you when the class will launch and the special sale price for all early birds. To get on that list, please sign up <a href="http://eepurl.com/cbcEP5" target="_blank">HERE</a>. *Early-Early birds will get the absolute lowest price offered until the class is about 6 months old just an FYI :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's some more sampler pieces I've worked on recently so you can get an idea of what Zen Houses will be like. SOOO MUCH FUN! I hope you can join in with me!</div>

<br />Hey Kids! Yes I am still alive! Heck I go to CanCun, and I don't surface for a month! HaHa! Gosh, so sorry it's been so long since I've posted! It's been a world wind last month or so that included a vacation with the fam, my first ever book signing! Woot Woot, My 3 day Abstract Class at the studio, and then I just returned from a fantastic weekend in Melbourne, Florida where I taught a 2 day Zen Painting course at the wonderful Art More Place! <br />

In between that time I've been sick...I mean really sick! Dang why do I always get sick in February??? Maybe it's some sort of hidden life message I'm supposed to recognize! Who knows?! Because I was so sick, I actually tore a muscle in my rib from coughing (okay, and exercising on one of those AS SEEN ON TV exercise boards that you twist on)!! haha Oh my goodness, so I guess I twisted too much, too hard, and too fast for these old bones and blew out my rib and and then further injured it by coughing like a lunatic for 2-3 weeks straight. All I know was it was PAIN-FULLLLLLL!!!! Like, damn, I can't even breathe painful! Well, I'm happy to say that I'm back to ohhh you worked out too hard and have a pulled muscle pain which I'll take any day from the stabbing in the lung and blow out my insides type of pain!<br />
<br />
Moral of the story friends, go to the Dr's if you are sick and get some medicine! Bad things happen when you don't!!<br />

<o:p style="background-color: yellow;">One question that comes up about the DVD's compared to my workshops is: How do the dvds differ than the in person or online workshops? This is a very valid question as the prices differ significantly as do what they each offer. Here's a brief explanation of some of the differences:</o:p></div>

<o:p>The <b>DVD'</b>s are complete lessons usually spanning 1-2 hours in length. You'll get tips, projects and see an abridged version of the work in progress from start to finish. If you want a great set of lessons that you can view on your tv or computer at an extraordinary price, these are for you! *Or if you've taken an in person class and want to have something to reinforce the lessons learned after you leave, the DVD's are great options too.</o:p></div>

<o:p><b>Online workshops are more robust.</b> For those of you who have taken them with me before, you know that my courses are very intensive and span usually 5-6 hours worth of content. The online courses do have more projects, some crossover with the videos but generally they are new lessons. In Online workshops you also will get a page handout and a supply list reference ( with clickable links in my Zen Painting course). Part of the course tuition is the fact I've done research for you and will make it easy for you to collect your supplies with a click of link. You also have access to my private groups and will receive help from me personally if you request it during the course. <span style="background-color: yellow;"> *<b>I can not provide questions and answer time nor project review with the dvd or download of my videos unfortunately.</b></span></o:p></div>

<o:p><b>In person classes</b> are great if you have a hard time focusing in an online environment and need to ask questions/receive feedback in the moment. Workshops are filled with exercises, demonstrations, and live q&a in the moment. There's an energy that fills a room of eager students and a passionate teacher that just can't be replaced. Very often you also have the benefit of sampling very expensive products as part of your class or kit fee which saves you money from buying things you won't use again or didn't quite love. You can also see live how to use products you may never have experienced before. In most cases, instructors have to travel so the price of travel and expenses is factored into the workshops as are supplies so you will find that in person classes are on the highest end of the spectrum price wise (other than destination art retreats). </o:p></div>

Now that we got that out of the way, let's talk about my giveaway!! I want to share all 4 DVDs with one BIG winner so this is HUGE, a value worth close to 100 dollars! YAHOOO! The pot will sweeten if we get over <b>200 comments and shares </b>in that I'll throw in a few key supplies you may want to use in each of the DVD which could potentially up the value of the prize another $60-75 dollars! <br />
<br />
How to enter? Simply leave a comment and tell me what are some new techniques you are most eager to learn and why. If there's a new class you'd like to see me offer, heck let me know, too! You can get 1 extra entry if you share a link to this post in one of your social media outlets. To get that extra entry, just come back and comment again where you shared it. PLEASE be sure to leave an email or a way I can get a hold of you. If there's no clickable link or email when I got to pick a winner I'll pick a new one. Entries will be taken up until Sunday evening and I'll pick a winner on Monday! whooohoo! <br />
<br />
Good luck everyone and have fun! If you just want to go ahead and pick up a copy of one of the dvds regardless of the prize pack, there are links above for you to go to right under the product image.<br />

While I'm still recovering from this winter flu bug, I thought I'd share a coupon code for my shop to keep the party rolling even when I'm stopped in my tracks :) I had a super, incredible, fun filled week in Cancun but returned with a little "vacation itis". <br />
<br />
Good news, I'm feeling a bit better but still recovering. I have a big event this weekend so I'm trying to reserve my energy for then. After that, I'll return with tons of new products I'm offering, new art add to my collections, some just announced on the road workshops I'll be participating in, and more!<br />

To stay fresh, one must explore uncharted territories, even if the ocean explored has been explored by others-it's still your new journey and time to stretch your own wings. That is exactly what I have been up to this month...moving in new directions and exploring processes that are very new and exciting for me. These are 5 of more than 15 new pieces in a body of work I'm creating (which will grow by leaps in bounds over the next few months) as I wrap my artistic mind and skills around a new medium, new techniques and lots of uncharted territory. I've dabbled a bit in cold wax, but nothing to the extent I've been playing with this month. As I look to the future, one thing is clear. Nothing stays the same forever, and everything is about to change. I consider that a good thing.<br />
<br />
Never be afraid to grow, change, and simply hone your skills by stretching your wings. You never know what you'll discover, you may even fall in love...and that is the precipice that I'm standing on right now.<br />
<br />
While I plan to do a series of classes down the road, the first major class I will be conducting on Cold Wax and Oil painting will be this October during our <a href="http://www.remeretreats.com/reme-sandhills-schedule-at-a-glance.html" target="_blank">ReMe Retreats-The Sandhills</a>. The retreat is now open for registration with more info coming up shortly...this is your sneak peek at my class which I'm so stoked about! I'm also sharing in this blog post, some of my favorite supplies used in creating this body of work. Go ahead and try it, and then if you want some guidance, come back to me and I hope to give you what you need to blossom just as you should. <br />
<br />
Here's to always spreading your wings and growing. New doors open when you push through them.<br />

<b style="background-color: lime;"> Cold Wax and Oil Painting Supplies</b></h2>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">In 2017, I'm working on a new collection of abstracts along with new in person workshops, online classes and perhaps even a dvd down the road around the mysterious and beautiful qualities of cold wax and oil painting techniques and processes. Stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, I'd like to share some of my favorite supplies that I've found fun to use in the creation of this new body of work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last week was undoubtedly filled with lots of highs and lows, great memories, full of promise of potentially a new relationship, but ultimately ended with extreme sorrow for our family unexpectedly. It was in that time of grief, that I had time to reflect once again about many things: such as how short life is and how it can change when you least expect it. People, animals, things, all come into your life not necessarily forever, but if you allow them to, they teach you lessons that you can carry in your heart the rest of your life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Without going into the details again, for those of you who follow me on Facebook, you already know, but suffice to say, Friday we lost a beloved member of our family unexpectedly. Not a person, but rather our pet who might of well been a person because that's how he was treated. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My son and I were devastated of course and in shock all weekend...still in shock. At the same time, earlier in the week, I met someone who seemed very special....romantic, brought me flowers on the first date, chatted with me throughout the week, we went out on a second date and had an even better time, and generally seemed to get along well. Things looked very promising <b><i>until</i></b> I had a crisis on Friday that brought me to my knees.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not that I expected pity or this person to come running to me as in reality, we only known each other a week...but the true colors of this person's sincerity showed a lot earlier than I suppose some may show months or possibly years later, and for that I'm grateful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not to be the Taylor Swift of the art world and lay all my cards out for the world to see, but I just have to say I'm proud of myself for not wanting to change someone like I normally would take on a challenge like this. The g-rated version of the exchange was that 15 minutes after we talked on the phone Friday about the devastating course of events that happened that afternoon, I get a text that HE was disappointed we wouldn't be getting together tonight. Not a sorry this happened, can I do anything for you, blah blah blah. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At first, I made an excuse of well, he really doesn't know me that well yet and couldn't possibly know how I feel or how I react in moments of extreme sorrow, stress, or struggles. And maybe he just wasn't brought up to be super compassionate with words, not everyone knows how to communicate well or openly. I can relate, often my method of communication is in writing or through my art.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But to be made to feel guilty over not wanting to go out (and I can say going out very loosely because I can say with 150% certainty that dinner and a movie wasn't what he wanted) on a day that I had been crying my eyes out over a loss of a loved one...well.....it was pretty revealing of his character.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am ready for dating again after a long break but my time is so limited, I barely have enough for myself, my kids, and my close friends---if I make room for someone, I want to make it count. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That brings me back to the moral of the story-- part of the theme for my resolutions this year, have been to stand my ground and make myself "<a amzn-ps-bm-asin="0385348630" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="5f42aa802ef6e03a3974fe494b95b2a5" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="Better Than Before" href="http://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Before-Habits-Procrastinate/dp/0385348630/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=jodiohl-20&linkId=5f42aa802ef6e03a3974fe494b95b2a5&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_1430332" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Better Than Before</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_1430332" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=jodiohl-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=5f42aa802ef6e03a3974fe494b95b2a5&_cb=1484067714459" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" />".

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No. What point would that make? If someone doesn't have it in them to know what to do, right or wrong...why waste your time trying to make someone into someone they are not. Accept it and move on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The truth of the matter is, a person's true colors are often shown in moments of extreme highs an extreme lows more quickly than if you un-peel the layers bit by bit over time.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm not mad, I'm in fact pretty proud of myself. I feel more empowered than I have in awhile even at the eve of something tragic, there's wisdom to be found. And now I can move forward...I'm still sad, still broken-hearted, still grieving; but, I'm also happy I didn't waste precious time with someone who didn't have the type of heart I desired in a partner.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Every year around this time, I like to look back at the year before me and reflect on the highs, the lows, the triumphs, and the struggles, so that I can make adjustments based on what I’ve learned and what I would like the next year or more to look like. Those points of reflection can take on many forms. Looking back at my journals, reviewing my planner, photographs are a great way to remember what has transpired through the year-both personally and professionally. Simply asking yourself questions about what you want or where do you want to go, and how do you want to feel can be very revealing.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I thought perhaps this year, I’d do some of my self-reflection on my blog in a form of a question and answer interview of myself! haha </span></div>

Be sure to get more rest and know that if you aren’t healthy, none of this is going to work (personally or professionally). Another way to phrase it is, I wish I had started a road to better health long before January 2016.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gosh, one of the biggest highlights was seeing my book go through all the stages of ‘birth’ to a real physical entity. I think when someone told me they saw it on <a amzn-ps-bm-asin="1440346526" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="d002895f28b830fd7b4de83f26b5a7fa" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="abstracts in acrylic and ink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Abstracts-Acrylic-Ink-Painting-Workshop/dp/1440346526/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=jodiohl-20&linkId=d002895f28b830fd7b4de83f26b5a7fa&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_7674780" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon for a pre-sale and it was a #1 new release already</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_7674780" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=jodiohl-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=d002895f28b830fd7b4de83f26b5a7fa&_cb=1483233076034" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" />, I cried! Another highlight was being asked to come back to Cincinnati to film four more DVD’s for F &W media in September. It’s honor to be able to film 1 set of DVDs, but I had the good fortune to be asked back again so imagine how thrilled I was. Extra bonus—I was also treated to hair and makeup each day!! I felt like a movie star! Lol They asked me to show up with no makeup on and that was SCARY! Haha I don’t go anywhere without my face on, I know it sounds vain but I’m just not a get up and go girl! Anyway, having opportunities such as this, has just really been a huge thrill and quite the honor!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Is there anything you wish you did more of during the year? What do you wish you would have done less of?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wish I had taken more time off. Even after my health scare, I found myself easing back into my workaholic ways, going 2, 3, 4 weeks without a day off. I didn’t become a hero because of it, I just became exhausted again. I need to do a better job at setting boundaries, protecting my personal time, and knowing when to say no or I can’t do it right now. What do I wish I had done less of? Well, beside work too much---and when I say that, I don’t want to sound ungrateful because being busy is something that we instill upon ourselves. I should have taken a hard look early on at what was distracting me, making me less focused on what I should have been doing versus what I was doing and eliminated those things from my life or at least set limitations so I could get my work done faster. I read a line in Gretchen Rubin’s book “Better Than Before” recently that rang true for me which said, “Keeping up is a lot easier than catching up”. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> So yes, working a lot is not really something to be proud of necessarily. Working efficiently so you have a better sense of balance is something I’d rather brag on in the future.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oh…I bought a lot of stuff in 2016! I’d say something that improved my life was a new pair of sneakers, workout clothes and a good pair of headphones. Those things made me want to get out and get moving. Something I want and need to do more of in 2017. (Do you see a pattern here?)</span></div>

I’m most proud of being able to turn a bad time around into something big for not only me, but really big for my students. When I was so sick, I started creating a body of work that saved my sanity and then as time moved on and I was feeling better, I kept improving on the process and really created not only a new body of work, but a very intense workshop that has engaged hundreds of students around the world. The work they have done in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/469829404/super-sale-save-1900-zen-painting-online?ref=shop_home_feat_1" target="_blank">Zen Painting </a>class has totally blown me away!

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hmm…good question. I don’t know if it really was a surprise but the mantra I use a lot is , “Every No, Leads to a Yes.” That thought has made me brave in what I do because I know with anything I do, it’s a 50/50 chance that it will work out and that for every time it doesn’t work out, I can try again and eventually it will work out. The only failure is not having tried. Many of the things I have been able to accomplish not just this year, but in all of my years as an artist, have resulted from just giving something a shot and knowing that a, ‘No’ now, isn’t a No, forever. Keep at it and you will be successful. You just have to have ‘Grit’!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have addiction to many things like good coffee that I could probably make at my home, expensive makeup, and well… a host of other things that I probably could do without or do more inexpensively—but maybe career wise, I wasted a lot of money on shipping expenses that I could have done better with had I had the right supplies on hand so I didn’t have to pay for someone to pack and ship my items for me. Having all my shipping and postage supplies in one place would have made my life a lot easier too, so I bit the bullet about a week ago and bought a lot of stuff from ULINE which was not cheap by the way, but it will be less costly in the long run. I am also making it a priority to organize my shipping areas so that I don’t have to run from room to room to gather what I need to pack up a box. I think that caused me so much stress, it really didn’t need to. I say a prayer of gratitude every time I go to the post office because it’s a happy thing…I sold something! Yay!! But getting those boxes ready, stresses me out and takes a lot of time! It’s my own fault and that’s going to change in the New Year! The other thing I just need to do is to factor better in for shipping and packaging expenses into my costs (which I don’t really do now), but when you are operating at a fairly low margin, every dollar counts….so don’t waste it! I learned the hard way this last month—I charged 20 for shipping for a painting—the box cost me 15 dollars with packing supplies and the actual shipping charges, get this…$88.00! Ouch! I had three other incidents like that in the same week and boy oh boy did I learn my lesson the hard way!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I mentioned the book that I’m reading earlier, and that title is going to be one of my mantras, “Better Than Before”. “Work Smarter, Not Harder”, is another. “Pursue Happiness”, and finally (for now), “Make a Difference”. I also like to narrow it down to one word so I’m going to continue on my word from 2016 which was to “Prosper”. I think although it does insinuate monetary prosperity, I want more than that…of course I want to get prospering, but I want my work, my personal development, and I want my personal life ALL to prosper. I guess I want it all, and why not?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2016 was a year that I fully realized that I can do anything I set my mind to.

Do you have an affinity for texture? I know I do. I love it so much that I’ve come up with a couple of classes where texture is the star of the show. There’s just something about a piece of art that has imperfections or clearly has an uneven surface that begs to be touched.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I have long used many gel mediums in my work but when you’re teaching a one day class, it’s hard to use many of the commercial mediums to teach with because they simply won’t dry in time. I came across this technique by accident when I was trying to speed my painting for a class I was teaching, with not just a heat gun, but a heat tool—you know the one that looks like it should be used in a factory or welding shop? Needless to say, it didn’t just heat up my gesso/gel medium—it also burned it and bubbled the surface. </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The look was actually fascinating. </strong></div>

(BTW...after this week, I'm going to try not to read the reviews...lol as I know someone is going to not love it and I don't want the bad reviews to hurt my heart..but in my head I know it's coming). For now, I'm going to ride the high and pat myself on the back for doing the best job I could do for the place I was in creatively, and so far...that job looks like it's resonating with artists who have bought the book! Thank you all for the emails, texts, and Facebook posts! Keep em coming if you have bought the book yourself! I love seeing them! I'm already thinking of what's next and there will be a next!! :))</span><br />

Fantastic book.</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I buy many, many art books and mostly mixed media oriented topics -- and I am picky, and I don't often review books. But this book is worth more than 5 stars to me. Everything about it is wonderful and I think it is a perfect combination of attractive (to me) projects and techniques. Although it is step by step technique, it isn't a "make this" crafty project book nor do I find myself not finding the techniques approachable. I am excited to dive in and see where it takes me. Wow is all I can say --- and I hope to someday take an in-person workshop with Jodi. (M. Shea)</span><br />

It arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to delve in. It is a beautiful book, the pages are fantastic quality, full of vibrant color. I have been following Jodi for quite a few years now and have several of her online courses. I had the good fortune to attend one of her workshops in Florida last year, which was amazing. She is a lovely lady who very generously shares her techniques and unique ideas with everyone. Her playful style is super easy and there are no mistakes....everything is an opportunity.
