I hope you had a great birthday. Such amazing giveaways- thanks so much for offering them.
I always love learning new things. At the moment I want to learn stamp carving and creating landscapes.
Love your work and I wish I could take more of your classes.

Kashuen said...

I am learning silversmithing lately. It is totally new to me. I am self learning, so the process is very slow and depends on the spare time that I have when I am not with the kids. But it is very exciting and challenging.

cvw said...

Dear Alisa, what a wonderful giveaway. I love your style and your online classes. I am interest to learn more art journaling and sketching outside. And to paint on fabric. Thanks for this chance. kind regards, Tina.

Meghan Thimjon said...

What a treat this would be to win! I have so admired everything you do and have learned so much from your classes! I love that my home has touches of Alisa throughout! It makes me happy!
I kind of dabble in a little bit of everything but oils would be interesting, they kind of intimidate me!

Potiron said...

Hello Alisa! What a great giveaway!!! THere is so much to learn, everything is worthwhile, and with your neverending imagination and new ways to do the things you do, whatever you come up with I'm sure will be interesting. One thing I can think of: from photography to art, how to use photography in art.... how to make an artsy photo, etc.... and I'm not talking about using Instagram filters....

Thank you for this opportunity, I would definitely love to have access to all your classes... being in France makes going all the way to your side of the US a pretty long endeavour.

Happy belated birthday, and continue awe-ing my eyes with your colorful posts and beautiful photography

Iara said...

OMG, this is the best giveway ever! I am trying to keep a routine of art journaling, making collages or drawing. Something small, every day. It is not easy to create a new routine of making art but I feel the calling :)

Great idea for a giveaway. :) I'm self taught so I've got a huge list - how to incorporate collage into paintings, how to use conte crayons, and how to workshop a painting (turn something you're not crazy about into something you love). Thanks!

Unknown said...

What a lovely amazing giveaway! Since my schooldays (long ago by now) I thought that I could not "do art" at all, that I had no talent, and therefore I never even tried... Last year I found you and your wonderful blog and I am now intend to try and give it a go. So this is what I want to learn drawing, paint, "doing art" in any form. Thanks for all your inspiration! Enjoy the rest of your birthday week!!!

ac_kalas said...

This must just be the best giveaway I've ever came across. I'm pursuing a creative path this year. I always been creative but as an adult life came inbetween. But no more. I've taken three of your classes and love them. Now I'm exploring watercolors and are curious of portraits, patterns and doodling. Happy birthday!

Anonymous said...

This is the most amazing giveaway ever! Thank you, this is truly exiting.

This is a great offer from you!
I am interested in everything that is new to me, and I try to learn many techniques. What I never tried and would like to do is stamp carving and the other thing is painting with oil paint... I have to confess, I am afraid of them... Oil paint is told to be a "living" paint, and I am afraid of not doing it correctly.

Esperanza said...

Laura, from Strasbourg.

annette m said...

Hi Alisa
Sometimes I feel I walk on the line of art that falls somewhere between you and your husband Andy. Sometimes I want to work very realistically and detailed and precise and then I want to be expressive and loose and free. So I've been intriqued with learning more about encaustic painting. Thanks

Marie Zazvorkova said...

Hi Alisa, I would like to learn more techniques with fibers and textiles I have not learned so far - sewing, dyeing, weaving and more. Thanks for this great giveaway:)

Victoria Cosia said...

Hi Alisa, I hope you had a nice birthday! At my 31 years old and being an engineer I discovered that art has a big place in my life. I am having such a good time investigating this artistic side of me that I never knew I had and that get me through a very bad year. The bad news is I have to learn everything from holding a pencil to using acrylic paint. Lucky for me in the search from technics and inspiration I found your blog. You became a big part of my discovery by helping me understand that art is not something reserved for artists and for a few months now I have made something creative every day. You have inspired me and helped me overcome my frustration and fears of failure. So as an answer to this call I hear I am starting ceramic school next week! Thank you so much for your posts and I look forward to continuing this artistic path in you company!

Stephanie said...

What a great giveaway! I'd like to learn more about making/ cutting my own stencils

Hillary said...

I've been so interested in faces and trying to start sketching them and hope to start painting them soon. I'm also trying hard to make time each day for art, even if it's just ten minutes while my kid plays outside.

Noelia said...

Every year i take classes about something i want to learn. This summer was to make a wooden drawer and so on for my little workspace.
Im learning cochet now but i want to practice my drawing skills, i make notebooks, bookbinding ... i love the process, the final product is so lovely that i never want to write it. But that has to change, i need to have new skills to fill the amazing pages.

leilapeila said...

Hi Alisa! I'd love to learn more about embroidery. I have seen some really amazing portraits done with embroidery but I also love the simple circles and flower I've seen too.

Carol B. said...

Love all forms of art, but I am interested in joining together my love of abstract and traditional art; as in an abstract, painted background with traditionally drawn/painted subject.

Sandy said...

I would love to learn pottery and sculpting!

Dani said...

Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us! I love art in any form, but I would like to learn to be more carefree with drawing and less worried about perfection. I like how you just seem to go for it!

veronica said...

Wow! What a giveaway!
Where do I start? My husband does not want me to start any new hobbies, I'm running out of storage, lol. If I was starting a new one, I would love to learn about metal clay, to make beads, but I don't want to buy a kiln.
If I was adding to my sketch knowledge, I would love to learn perspective drawing, like urban sketchers. It intrigues me!

Unknown said...

Besides finally taking watercolor classes, but beyond that I'm actually learning a LOT about mindfulness, and oddly enough, it's REALLY affecting my art in such an amazing way. I started taking classes in mindfulness to lower my stress, and it's crazy how much it's influenced my creativity. I'm really trying to embrace the beauty of being here now.

StaceyS said...

Happy birthday! What a great opportunity. I'm interested in strengthening my artistic skills to better tell everyday stories incorporating photos, words and art.

Alisa said...

To Alisa From Alisa ~ I've always "made" things. Last year before turning 61 and having major surgery, I decided to do what I've always wanted and learn "how to paint". I've read, I've watched, and I've listened, but there are so many questions I have about supplies and technique that still need to be answered. I'd love to be able to have a resource where I can go to find these answers and reference as I begin this new creative endeavor. I need to know how to put everything together and get my creativity flowing. Thanks for this giveaway and hope you are enjoying your birthday week.

Mary said...

I'd like to learn more techniques with clay and explore all the possibilities of abstract art.

Plaidroxi said...

What an amazing give away!! I am currently waking up to go work at a fibre fair. On top of being a weaving apprentice and learning new thing about fibre everyday, I want to do more sewing and learn how to do more line drawings and detail work. I absolutely love your style and would love to keep practicing to one day incorporate art and print into my textile art/design.

papelhilo said...

wow, this is such an amazing gift !! I draw, sew and craft other things but what I've never done and would like to is clay modeling (your work is so inspiring !!)

Terri Y CZT16 said...

I have always wanted to attend an art school and be with like minded people. Since this wasn't in the cards for me I am learning from and sharing with others on the internet. I enjoy taking classes and everything is a learning experience. Mixed media is currently a favorite and watercolor is a close second. Stamp carving would be on that list, also. I am a sponge in a deep well of water, ready to soak it all in and play! I enjoy your site and artwork so even if I'm not selected as a prize winner, I can still learn from you.

How generous and inspiring watching you during your birthday week has been for me.
I would love to learn more about painting flowers abstractly.
I love looking at your recent finger paintings layered over with pen or detail paint. Thank you so much for offering your creativity. It has given me balance in my life, as inspiration and reconnection to a lost and necessary art side to my being.

It's amazing to me how many creatives are celebrating birthdays this month. (Including ME on the 22nd!) I also think being in your 40's is great-I maintain that in your 30's you figure out who you really are. In your 40's you stop apologizing for it. Happy Birthday, Bonne Fete!

I am intrigued by learning how to use black gesso as a base for collage work. I see it online a fair bit now and I think it would be interesting to see how you can start with something dark and bring it to life. It's completely outside my comfort zone collage wise-it seems kind of extreme. Most of my collage work is way more subtle, but I am thinking learning to work with this medium would stretch my creative ability. Who knows-I might surprise myself!

Marsha @ Tattered Chick said...

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! I would love to learn different ways of incorporating photography into my art, painting, drawing, collage and ????? Hope you had a wonderful birthday week!!!

Verna G. said...

ahkraus said...

Happy birthday week! You've been so generous with your gifts over the years, and this week has been over the top. I'd like to develop a practice of journaling with observational drawing, writing, watercolor. It's been hard for me to start (keeping going will be a challenge too), but your classes would keep my motivation cranking!

twobutterflies said...

Wow!!! Amazing give away! I would love to learn to draw/paint, even photograph landscapes. I've been considering taking your landscape class - just need to find time to do it.

I would love to learn wood burning. I love the things you've created with this technique and would like to learn how to do it.

I would love to learn to layer paint. To be about to paint over top of something I've already painted without thinking I am going to ruin it.

jruminski said...

Wow! Happy Birthday! I would love to learn how to be looser in my sketching and photography.

Alyssa said...

Happy Birthday, Alisa! I've taken many of your classes and love reading your posts in my feed. I want to learn more about portraiture (and am planning to take your new mini-class to that end!)

Unknown said...

WOW! Just WOW! I have been wanting to learn to blend/shade multiple bright colors better using various mediums...paint, watercolor, copic like markers, etc. I love using bright colors but always make mud when blending or shading or fading into other colors. I know you have touched on this with watercolors I believe :)

Unknown said...

I am wanting to learn how to let go of my type-A personality and just let art flow through me. To be less critical of what I produce and embrace the fact that I am actually in the moment as I create.

I want to learn mask making! I have an idea that wearing masks may be the way to live our authentic selves ... it's a paradox, I know. But I think it is crucial in the journey to self.

I dabble a lot but don't think I am really good at one thing. I do like to doodle and sketch. My most recent is quilting. Dusing off my math skills...ie..geometry to match shapes. And of course using my color wheel to make good color choices. Hope you have had a great birthday week!

Dawnri said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISA!

I would like a few tips on HOW TO NOT RUIN PENS when doing mixed media. I love the idea of mixed media but my impatience has me writing over paint and ruining my pen tips...

...or the opposite HOW TO NOT SMEAR PEN INK when painting over pen marks. I use water resistent pens, but still my pen ink smears when i paint over it.

so to sum it all - UFDAH! I NEED MIXED MEDIA TIPS! lol - oh happy day!!!

SewPaperPaint said...

I am very much interested in learning more about watercolor. I have been painting my heart out and love making puddles! Thanks for the chance. <3

Vivyane Veka said...

That's really a wonderful and generous giveaway !!!
I would like to learn more about sketching, painting on fabric and extra large-painting… I enjoyed your "Larger than life" soooo much ! =)

Unknown said...

I saw a picture of your art collaboration of the girl with a bunch of flowers on her head with blue watercolor and that triggered something in me. I have been practicing flowers a lot. I decided that I would make an art piece for my mom who is going through chemotherapy. I used spring color watercolors and drew flowers over it. It was the first time since high school that I have given my art to anyone!

Nancy said...

Lifetime classes - how generous! I've enjoyed several of your online classes, and love the diversity of materials, supplies, and methods. Would like to learn more about stamps- carving them, creating them out of found materials, etc. I could see this topic as one of your micro sessions you sometimes offer in class bundles.

Miranda Murray said...

You are amazing! I am an elementary art teacher and suddenly kids are afraid to get dirty! Whats with that? I love to push my kids outside their comfort zone and have them try new things (...while constantly reminding them we can wash our hands at the end of class...) I would love to learn more about the techniques you use when painting with your fingers and hands! Happy Birthday :)
