Zen Houses Opening Soon-Painting Giveaway!




2 More Sleeps!

Yippee Skippy!   

I couldn't be more excited to announce my newest online workshop, Zen Houses,  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!), 

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).    

I jammed packed this  course with several projects, warm ups, and many discussions where I share insights, tips,  and tricks of the trade.  

Here's a few more pics to  inspire you,  so you can get a general idea of what you'll be doing during Zen Houses :

From the Cottage House Chapter


From the Challenge House Chapter




From the Beach House ChapterPLUS MORE!!!!!



One of the many exciting parts of this whole process is watching my students go from a sketch to a fully illustrated painting.  I mean, can you imagine going from this:



To This??? 


 Well you can with my assistance!  I promise I will lead you from start to finish and then some!  My goal is for you not just to recreate my projects, but to grow and flourish as an artist beyond the class room!!!


The sale price for this fun filled workshop ends on the launch date (September 6th), but of course you can jump in at anytime as this is a self paced course.

BONUS--I will do 2 live chats & painting exercises during the first 8 weeks of the course PLUS offer a bonus video midstream of our first few weeks together.

In addition to our intensive warm ups, you will complete 2 mini paintings and 3full size paintings, and if you so chose, I give one final assignment for the truly ambitious.   That's a ton of content for this low  price, honestly you will get your money's worth out of this course!!!

I hope you will join me and over 100 students from around the world for Zen Houses!

For more info and or to register, check out my class page by clicking HERE.

Even if you can't join us, please help spread the word!  I am giving away, yes giving away one of my sample pieces  featured in this course titled, "Home is Where you Are", a 10x10 on gessobord.    The giveaway is open to everyone, but shipping expenses would have to be charged if one of my international friends happens to win.









How to put your name in the hat?  

Simply comment on this post and tell me where your home is and why do you consider it your sanctuary...after all, we are all searching for peace and a sense of calm, hopefully our homes are where we find that first and foremost.

If you are so inclined to share this post so that more people can hear about my class, please link to it and come back and comment again for a second entry!!

Drawing will be held on September 6th, 2017  PS...please leave your email in the comments so I can reach you if you win.

Good luck, and thank you so much for all your support and encouragement!!

xoxo

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 HERE.

This is the piece I am contributing, "Beach Road", which is a 10x10 original painting that I used for a sample during this workshop.
Thank you so much for your support! We need to pull together as a country now more than ever!

It's Back and It's Better Than Ever! My 3rd Annual "Pay What You Can Sale"

 I'm a week late but better late than never!  My 'birthday' week was chock full of awesomeness, so much so that I didn't have time to get this event running as I should have.  
Thank you to all of you who messaged me to make sure I was still doing this special sale  for all of my cherished patrons and followers!  I appreciate all your enthusiasm and so glad you have grown to love this time of year as much as I do!

 This is my annual 'giftie' to my followers in the form of a Pay What You Can Sale.....Pay what you can...hmmmm...read on for all the details!  This is a long post with lots of items available along with some guidelines.  

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at jodiohl@hotmail.com .







HERE IS THE "FINE PRINT":


What is a Pay What You Can Sale?  Well,  a couple years ago I received an email from an inspirational speaker, author,  and artist that I admire  (Danielle Laporte) who offered a sale for one day only on one or two of her very popular (but pricey) book/programs and I thought now isn’t  that a coolio idea?!  I sat on the idea for a year and then THREE  years ago,  I decided to take a plunge and do my own version of the special for a LIMITED time, too!

If you stopped by last year, you may have got a SWEET deal, and hopefully this year you will find a deal or two as well. And this year is going to be another AMAZING Event!  You’ll see in just a moment! 



How This Works
“Pay What You Can”


  • I will post suggested retail prices so you can gauge what those items typically sell at.
  • Shipping is not included and pieces do not come matted or framed (for original art and prints) .
  •  I will consider every offer submitted, but please only submit offers for items you intend on paying for if accepted.  It’s no fun trying to chase people down or decline someone else if someone staked a claim on an item and then disappears.
  •  I do reserve the right to decline an offer that is well below cost or not truly a fair offer.




  

For example: I can not do a 3ox30 piece for you for 20.00... I’m sorry.  :)

I will also offer payment plans if you really want that 30x30 piece but would need to split payments up to make it happen!


In the event more than one person makes an offer, I will take the highest offer-but will notify the lower offer 1x  that they have been outbid so that person has a chance to  resubmit their initial offer.







Things to take into consideration:
Prints are made to order, please allow 10-14 days for delivery unless you want to upgrade to an expedited shipping. 

  I want YOU to get a deal and if you tell me you can only pay xyz as you are on a limited budget, it’s an honor system.  It’s not a good feeling if I see that same person the next day on Facebook talking about their trip around the world and total home renovation being on a limited budget
. I know you get what I mean!! I’m just saying as that happened to me it almost made me reconsider doing this sale.

Most custom items will be worked on in January and into February and could take 2-4 weeks approximately  to complete, depending on how many orders and the complexity of the subjects.

  If you need your item sooner, please contact me before placing an order/offer.



For a limited time  I will post a variety of items in the following categories:  Supplies,  Prints, Originals,….and wait for it…. COMMISSION pieces during this “Pay What You Can” Event.



How do you make an offer?

I will post a link to a form you must fill out under each item offer in this event so I can have all the information in one place. 


 By the end of day Friday, December 23rd,  or sooner I will review all offers and let you know via email if your PWYC offer was accepted.
 Invoices will be sent out shortly thereafter.



Are you ready for the big reveal?  Here’s Jodi Ohl’s

Boy did we have fun!  4 different approaches to art journaling, tons of laughs,lots of creating went on between all of us and our fantastic audience of students.     This event is now available on DVD  but for one lucky blog follower of mine...well this fun dvd could be yours!  But wait...there's more!!




 I also have one brand spankin' new set of 24 water colors for that same winner...I love these water colors as they are highly pigmented and the biggie...affordable!   Both of these items together are valued at just under 100.00! Wahooohoo!  What a great way to start off the holiday season!!
