I discovered Carla Sonheim years ago when I purchased her books, Drawing Lab for Mixed Media Artists and Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals. The books had such a sense of fun and exploration. I loved them both. About four or five years ago, I signed up for one of Carla’s year long online classes and I was hooked. She is passionate about creating classes that allow artists to explore their own creativity, while learning useful techniques that move us forward. If you haven’t take a class or worked through one of her books, it’s time. I’m delighted Carla is joining me for the first chat of 2023.
