Let's Decorate -a new course!
<p>Dear Reader,</p><p>It’s with great pleasure that I can announce the launch of my new course <a target="_blank" href="http://melaniechadwick.teachable.com/p/lets-decorate"><strong>Let’s Decorate! - </strong></a><a target="_blank" href="http://melaniechadwick.teachable.com/p/lets-decorate"><strong>bright ideas for painting everyday objects</strong></a></p><p>It’s been something I have been working on in the background before I gave birth and over the last few months have been slowly chippping away a bit at a time to bring it to completion. I must admit I didn’t think I’d ever finish it working in such short bursts, but I’m so glad I peservered and can now tell you all about it. Read on for more details…</p><p>This course arose from a desire to be surrounded by beautiful, everyday objects in my home, featuring favourite subjects like wild flowers, fruit and elements from the natural world. </p><p>I was particularly inspired by a visit to a sunflower field last year and this got me wanting to paint them on everything.</p><p>I've always loved to paint murals, back in my twenties I was a mural artist in a school and it was actually how I started dating Tony when he commissioned me to paint a mural on his flat walls. A job that should have taken a week took 3 months as we would find all sorts of things to chat about!</p><p>I digress…back to the course</p><p>What you’ll do</p><p>In this course we’ll look at 3 types of acrylic paint- heavy body, soft body and acrylic gouache, noting their qualities and discuss what kind of project they would suit best. </p><p>I’ll then guide you through four projects to paint and give you detailed steps for sourcing materials, preparing surfaces and painting your objects. </p><p>Working in acrylic paint to transform a space is a great way to brighten your home on a smaller scale and through painting everyday objects there’s also a special sense of accomplishment that comes with customising your space. </p><p>On the course you’ll gain inspiration and practical know-how to bring your decorative ideas to life and work on similar pieces for your home.</p><p>If this sounds just up your street or you’re curious to find out more then please hop over to the purchase page <a target="_blank" href="https://melaniechadwick.teachable.com/l/pdp/letsdecorate">here</a>. Any questions just ping them over to me or go to the bottom of the <a target="_blank" href="https://melaniechadwick.teachable.com/p/lets-decorate">sales page for FAQ</a>.</p><p></p><p>Thanks for reading and I look forward to speaking again soon,</p><p>PS Seasalt & Serpentine Paid community-I’m offering a 25% discount for you- watch out for the next email with the coupon code.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

The most southerly point
<p>Dear Listener,</p><p>Welcome to another episode of Explore and Draw.</p><p><p>In each episode I’ll take you with me on a walk, observing and commenting on the landscape around me. I’ll find a place to draw and then share the finished sketch with you below.</p></p><p>In today’s podcast episode I decided to trek down to the most southerly point on the Lizard peninsula. It was such a beautiful morning, sunny, blue skies a bit windy but definitely warmer than last week. </p><p>The light was bright but just in the right spot for sketching the cliffs and the lighthouse on the horizon.</p><p>The materials used were a mix of mediums including <a target="_blank" href="https://tidd.ly/3B7VGub">Derwent’s Tinted Charcoal Paint pan set</a>, Viarco’s water soluble graphite, <a target="_blank" href="https://tidd.ly/3TXzhWD">Caran D’ache Neocolor IIs</a> and a mix of pencils. </p><p>If you want to join the live draw-along on Monday 24th February I mentioned here is the link:</p><p>Feel free to use these photos for a sketch-along and if you want to share your sketches join the SSS chat. </p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
