Many Thanks to all Involved! Unfortunately this is not the whole group that attended the several classes offered of creating with a "SMUDGE." But it will do for today!

You will never know how beautiful the journey has been sharing the technique and seeing the amazing work you are able to create in a technique that is so close to my HEART!

You honor me with your participation, interest, and joy!
My life is much richer because of YOU, in so many ways!
SMUDGE ON......🥰

OIL PASTEL SMUDGE© - ART . MATH . HEALING
I asked AI how the Oil Pastel Smudge method is related to Math! Here is what it came up with.

Relating to the Healing of Creating Art...nothing can replace it, as in "AI" ...It is in the real thing of "Creating Art" on your own, and in the joy of taking a class with other individuals - IN PERSON. So there you go! Sign up for an "In-Person" Class today!
