I’m taking a survey! I have been asked to lead a painting 🎨 workshop in Pollença, on the beautiful Balearic island of Mallorca (Spain), in the Mediterranean Sea, in either spring or fall 2024. Before I commit, I’d like to get an idea if people would be interested in such an adventure with me… there would be 16 to 20 students, and the cost would be somewhere near 700 to 800 Euros (about US $750-850) for a 5-day workshop. This would not include art supplies, meals or boarding… but the center sa...

🎨 Starting a painting can be a daunting task. 🖼️ When that’s the case, you can start with a warm-up exercise of simply adding paint. 🖌️Just paint shapes, and don’t worry too much about what it will look like. 🔴🟪🟠 These are the early stages, and as you paint your shapes, ideas might pop into your head. In this case, I was thinking about some aboriginal artworks that I had seen and loved. I have been reading up on Australia 🇦🇺 and Africa🇹🇿… so much beauty there! I painted the first layers of ma...

If you don’t like something, CHANGE it! Don’t wait around for it to change itself. This applies as much to artwork as it does to most life situations. We almost always have choices. Select the options that will bring you (and those close to you) the most joy. It’s worth it! 🩷❤️💜 #ClaireDesjardins #MakeGreatChoices #OneLifeToLive #ArtistLifeChoices

In this crazy and sometimes chaotic world, let me give you just a few seconds of unadulterated joy and play, brought to you by Tulip and Iris. There’s nothing like having a studio dog or two, to lighten the mood. Dogs live in the moment. We have a lot to learn from them. Have a great weekend, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing! 🧡❤️🩷💜 #ClaireDesjardins #StudioDog #ArtistStudio #PaintingStudio #AbstractPainting

As an artist, I spend a lot of time observing details around me, taking it all in. 🎨🖌️ I am excited by color variations and combinations, especially in my garden, which is my “other canvas”, and I spend time in it regularly. 🌼🟠🌸 Sometimes it’s the colors, sometimes it’s the shapes and patterns. ⭕️🌈🟠 They often find their way into my artworks. 🟨🍊💜#ClaireDesjardins #ArtistProcessVideo #ArtistProcess, #PaintingEveryDay #AcrylicAbstractPainting
