When I got to college and decided to major in art I was more than ready to explore new ways to get creative. I had spent many years feeling pressure to make art that looked pretty and perfect and was anxious to learn different methods and techniques that could set me free and release that "pressure" to be perfect. During my college experience, I found myself gravitating towards projects and classes that had more to do with abstraction and expression and less to do with realism and perfection. And once I got the taste of how drawing and painting felt when it was expressive, emotional, wild, free, and came from your gut- I was hooked! While these methods were just a few (of many) in my arts education, they seemed to be the ones that really stuck and ended up creating a foundation for my creative process and my art.
These days, while I love making beautiful and refined art and crafts, I also find myself returning to abstraction when I need to just let go and be free. Using methods and techniques that are expressive and abstract has enabled me to understand how to use my experiences and my emotions to make art. This process has helped me loosen up and let go of perfection in all of the art that I make. In my next online class, I am thrilled to share this process with you!
The Art of Abstraction will introduce you to the concept of making abstract and expressive art. I will share a variety of methods, techniques and prompts that will inspire you to find your voice and your unique style. I will challenge you to a new way of seeing and teach you fresh ways to make art with all kinds of alternative tools and methods. We will throw images, perfection, pressure and creative trends out the window and instead- make art with our emotions and with our gut! We will channel our individual experiences and STOP over thinking the creative process.
Join me for the Art of Abstraction!

In addition to launching registration today, I am also giving away FIVE FREE spots in the class!

Tell me what color represents your mood today!
I will draw 5 names later this week
I think I'm kind of orange today -- somewhere between on-fire red and mellow yellow.
ReplyDeleteI'm so eager to hear your thoughts, ideas and inspirations about abstract art. Good stuff!
So cool! This looks like it's going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteMood today: gray. I've actually had a headache for two days straight, so I kind of feel like I'm trapped in a sludgy, slow mood. Not very exciting, I know. :)
Wow - this class sounds just wonderful. I'm going to go and register as soon as I finish this comment.
ReplyDeleteLet's see - what colour represents my mood today? I think it's a purple day - not sure why, but I ended up doing a painting of little purple houses today. (Definitely not one of my usual colours!)
Can't wait for the class to start!
Awesome class! I think I'm purple today, regal, royal, and eastery. Church this morning was amazing and full of miracles so I think Purple fits my mood.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of this class! My day is a little blue. A calming, relaxing day, for the most part, in preparation for the crazy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm reddish right now. Just finished having fun with a friend, so I feel like I have a lot of energy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this class!! I love taking your classes and think this one will be so much fun and filled with tons of ways to help me loosen up my painting techniques!!
ReplyDeleteYellow represents my mood today because my sweet niece has been with us for the past few days, and she truly adds tons of SUNSHINE to our lives!! :)
I loved the abstract art lesson in the Create Daily class!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling green today. Unfortunately, being in my first trimester, I've been a bit nauseous for the last few days. But it will be worth it in the end! :)
I'd have to say I'm feeling a little blue, but since it's spring I'm trying to see the lighter side so I'm going with that lovely turquoise blue.
ReplyDeleteOmgsh....this sounds fabulous!! Your work Is so unique and beautiful!! As far as a color I have to say the rainbow. I know you said "what color" but Spring is here, I'm in the middle of starting a new business (kidz theatre), I'm in such a good place right now that I'm bursting with color!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's going to be another great class!
ReplyDeleteHmm the color that represents my mood.......blue....not feeling so good. Tomorrow is another day after all......that may just have to be a red day! Hoping for lots of energy! Lol
What an exciting premise for a class. Today my color is green.it is my favorite color plus everything is so fresh outside!
ReplyDeletelooks so interesting!!! as all your work and all your classes!

ReplyDeleteHi Alisa I would love win this workshop.The color that's represent my mood today is lilas (light purple). Xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling red today...too much time working in the hot sun with a resulting headache. Things seem to be pulsing neon red.
ReplyDeleteI would love this class! I have a hard time being loose or abstract with my art, so this class would be great! My mood is pastel blue, I feel relaxed and in an early Easter mood :0)
ReplyDeleteI guess I would have to say I am a dark emerald green today. I feel like I'm in a funk & a bit down but that I'm still beautiful & awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis class looks yummy! I am feelingvlike teal blue. Calm and relaxed and beautiful! How I love your classes!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis class looks like soooo much fun! Lavender would be my color for today. A little bit quiet as I work on taxes.
ReplyDeletePurple. It's the last week of Lent, so everything still feels purple.
ReplyDeleteGreen, Im feeling neutral. Plus all I can think about is my grass at the moment. Trying really hard to make it beutiful :)
ReplyDeleteGini

Yellow - sunny and cheerful- just like the weather here.
ReplyDeleteI would say I'm having a GOLD day because I just saw Mirror Mirror and that's the queen's color. Not that I was on her side, but Julia Roberts did such an amazing job. Such a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm a red today. I'm feeling alive and excited as I plan my summer holidays.
ReplyDeleteI guess I would have to say pink. Because I am felling very loved today.
ReplyDeleteI love your work and free style process--I would love to take this class. Feeling black today--difficult weekend--but tomorrow I think will be turquoise :)
ReplyDeletethis class looks like it's just up my ally. i need to learn more about being less perfect with my art. i would say it's a blue kind of day, relaxing and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteYour art is so inspiring! Every day I'm blue but always a different shade. Definitely a light blue today with a hint of green in there.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting! Thanks for the giveaway. I'm feeling deep blue-green with a little lime around the edges today.
ReplyDeleteAlso, hello! I'm Christina, and I've been enjoying your blog for a while now. : ) You have such lovely flair and use colors so boldly that I am hooked!
Green. Today has been a happy, calm day.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really interesting class. Today I think I would be a muddy yellow - happy to be getting lots of work done on the farm but completely exhausted by the end of the day!
ReplyDeletesomehow i feel im very purple and light pink today. makes me happy :)
ReplyDeleteneon yellow because i love tennis and am currently injured and can't play. : (
ReplyDeleteyour class looks amazing!!!!
Your new class sounds really great and today is a lime green day - full of fun and happy colors.
ReplyDeleteGreen - feeling under the weather :(
ReplyDeleteSounds fabulous! I am feeling so springy today. I would have to say pink... Pink is everywhere ... Cherry blossoms, tulip trees, pink dogwood...so beautiful...pink clouds...love them
ReplyDeletePeaceful sky blue for today.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling purple.... The mood I feel is a little melancholy with some hope, hence blue + red = purple. Thank you for the chance <3 xoxo
ReplyDeletei've been painting abstract these last few months, picking up new ideas from everywhere. since i always LOVE your classes, i can't pass this up. my color today is turquois, i used in everything i touched or made...paint, fabric, dye and sparkles. i am ready to dive into summer! thanks for a chance alisa! xo
ReplyDeleteabstract art is my fave! my mood at the moment is orange. :)
ReplyDeletehttp://honeybeelane.blogspot.com/
Woo hoo! This looks like an awesome class. I would have to say that my mood is probably a fuscia... girly but with spunk.
ReplyDeleteToday is a blue but usually I'm a yellow!
ReplyDeleteAlisa, I loved how you introduced this class - resonates deeply within me. What a great too art is when we can use it to express things that sometimes don't have words.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I'm kind of grey today but focussing on the silver lining!
Thanks for inspiring, Tonia
Today, I've been spring cleaning. I feel like the yellow of forsythia and the green of new leaf buds. And, add a little purple of grape hyacinth, just because I love that sweet, little spring flower.
ReplyDeleteYour class sounds amazing. Hot pink, yellow, aqua, and purple represent my mood today. Feeling colorful.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little pink today as my body is healing and the blood is going to the surgery site - nature's way of making things right! abstract art is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGreen: I feeling refreshed and alive, spring is in the air!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling yellow AND excited about this class!
ReplyDeleteohh, what color is mild anxiety? Purple-ish blue?? I'm finishing up my Master's Degree so I'm a little stressed. An art class would be awesome! thanks
ReplyDeleteoooo... its a deep vibrant pink day today!
ReplyDeletethanks!
This class looks amazing!! So fun!! I feel yellow today...it was bright and sunny all day (after a crazy rain storm last night)!
ReplyDeletehow exciting! i love your art and would love to take a class! I'm feeling kind of purple today... a little mellow, a little tired, but not depressed - just content.
ReplyDeleteHi Alisa,
ReplyDeleteI can''t wait to see what your class holds for us.
My colour is red, the colour of love, life, and excitement.
April 9th is my birthday, and i just started painting, so I think that somehow through the Law Of Attraction, I'll win a spot in your class:)
Thanks for the chance.
Vicki
This class looks awesome!! Yellow - I love spring!!
ReplyDeleteI am sunny yellow today. Recovering from surgery I am finally feeling so much better. Love feeling good.
ReplyDeleteYour class sounds exciting.
Love your classes!!
ReplyDeleteYellow represents my mood today because my daughet ´ve learned to ride her bike.
Today dark orange, almost red, for a fire of emotions stirred up in the last few days, represents my mood.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful opportunity to win a spot in your class. I certainly need to learn to let go, my art is way too contrived!
You inspire me...
ReplyDeleteColor for today---
Today and most everyday this week-
Spring green- not a mood- just the color that surrounds me and astounds me after our colorfilled spring flowers have disappeared.
White...I'm feeling light and pure and bright.
ReplyDeletepink and orange...happy.happy.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling grey - I need a class like this to jump start me to orange and red! Looks awesome - thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI studied art in college, until changing my major. I don't regret the decision, because it was what I needed at the time. But over four years have passed since then, and I had virtually stopped doing art completely. It's something I've really missed in my life, but have been too "busy" and just not in a creative mode. Then this last week I discovered your blog, and it has triggered my creative drive and passion for art once again. I just wanted to say thanks for that. I signed up for one of your classes already, and am so looking forward to doing more in the future!
ReplyDeleteMy mood today is orange, because I'm feeling so motivated and energized to be creative and artistic. A good feeling!
Orange is my mood today. I don't know why, it was the first colour that popped into mind when I saw your question.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get started. I just found your blog last night via pinterest and in awe of your talent. If I were a color today I would be gray. I am feeling the Sunday night dreads. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great class, sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI get to have a free day today, get to hang out in the studio all day! I'm really feeling in the Pink!
Janey
I would love a spot in your class. Today has been an interference green day, partly green and unwell or wishing for more time with the new spring sprouts outdoors and partly orange, needing some energy and vitamin C :).
ReplyDeleteStay inspired!
aqua with silver glitter - after a day of art journaling by the ocean.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great class! I'm looking forward to taking it! Today I'm feeling yellow...enjoyed a day outdoors in the sun planting flowers.
ReplyDeletetoday i feel sad...blue, gray....
ReplyDeleteToday I was kind of yellow, a bit festive and sunny!
ReplyDeletetoday I am yellow...the sun came out after a couple of grey days. I feel so alive when the sun is shining
ReplyDeleteAbstract, totally awesome! I am a abstract girl at heart! I would love to be apart of this class. I found you in one of Christy's workshops. My color is PINK, happy!
ReplyDeleteYes. im practicing saying yes to life and i say my mood is pale green...martini and monk kind of moment
ReplyDeletetoday I am a red and teal, I am feeling passionate & relaxed ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling red today, red in a GOOD way! Not angry or mad, just happy and excited about some new designs that I've been working on this week. When I'm working on my art, my heart wakes up inside and says "hello! I'm still here," and somehow that translates into feeling red...
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I would love to win this, I need a bit of colour in my day, today has been grey! Fighting with a blocked vacuum cleaner and all that grey dust. I want orange, but I have got grey!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to go with grey-taupe
ReplyDeleteI'm having a yellow and black day. . . very busy - buzzing around like a bee!
ReplyDeleteRinda
My color this morning is dark blue. I just wake up, this is sky's color and I want to return in my bed :-)
ReplyDeleteI want to see my day in RED. The coulor who gives power. I would love to win a place in your class.
ReplyDeleteTurquoise + with a touch of lime green to mellow it out :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to take your class!
Thanks,
Karla
It's finally sunny here so I am feeling the
ReplyDeleteendless blue of the cloudless sky !
Love this class idea!
I would love to win a spot on this class. (love your other classes so far!)
ReplyDeleteYellow ! Because of the s'un rising at thé moment and of this huge spring energy!!!!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm a little grey and a little brown and a bit of red... kind of conflicted, really, but hopeful.
ReplyDeleteTurquoise. Completely opposite from the grey colors outside my window.
ReplyDeleteinteresting class - would love to join in. color for today is probably blue...
ReplyDeleteHi! Today I'm in a happy green mood! Hope this mood last throughout the week! Thanks for the chance of winning a spot in your class!
ReplyDeleteThe class looks super interesting, I'd love to participate, and today I am... turquoise! somewhat bubbly :)
ReplyDeleteThe class looks absolutely wonderful. Caribbean blue/green color because of the calm relaxing properties it brings to your soul.
ReplyDeleteToday..? Feeling white:) In Denamrk, it's monday morning, which means a new day and a new blank slate. Starting new things in my local town and a strong creative feeling, requires a blank canvas to start from; letting creativity blossom.
ReplyDeleteToday I had the most wonderful painting experience. I ALMOST threw out the painting SEVERAL times - no exagg! It just was a bomb, over and over again. But like life, the layers did something magical, and delivered a background so wonderful, I am not at all sure how to proceed. I may not. But the color it left me was a deep turquoise with a rustic accent running through. All the best to you and the class ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm turquoise today, ready for the new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI've just got home from the first day of work after daylight savings ended, so my colour is twilight blue.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am feeling quite sick today, as soon as I read about your give away my day turned turqoise. The kind of caribian turqoise...
ReplyDeleteThis class seems so much fun! (Although to be honest, all the classes of yours that I've taken so far have been fab!)I'd love to win a spot. Today I feel hot pink, happy and energetic, which is kind of strange for a Monday morning...
ReplyDeleteThis class sounds fabulous! I could really use some techniques for letting go of the idea of perfection.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm feeling sluggish, muddy brown. Too sleepy but waiting for an important phone call... Thankfully, tomorrow there'll be another chance to find a more cheerful color to feel!
your new onlne class sounds very interesting and i'd love to try it! i'm feeling kind of a sea-foam green today.. i made easter eggs earlier and it's the wash i kept gravitating towards. it reminds me of the back side of a wave, with the shells & sand mixed in and the foam on top. :)
ReplyDeleteThis class sounds right up my alley, especially in my recent mood. I want to go further, know what I mean? I feel like this class would help. (I just found out about your blog 2 weeks ago, following a post by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer).
ReplyDeleteMy day has two colors : red for passion and sparks, making art with my kids, taking pictures and making a layout... and black for the practical side of my mind, cooking and getting ready for work; figuring how to fit in what I need to get done, so I have more time for the red side of me :)
I feel yellow as I am dizzy with delight over your new class!
ReplyDeleteBrown...I've just eaten "nutella" :)- Graziana
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! I'm constantly trying to let go of that need for perfection, so I think I'll give this a go - thanks for the giveaway opportunity too, Alisa. xo
ReplyDeleteOops! And my colours for today? Black because I'm fed up about feeling unwell, and pink for its healing properties :)
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post, I'm hot pink, full of energy! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I'm sure this will be a fabulous workshop!
ReplyDeletePURPLE ...FEELING ...WEARING...LIKING ...ND SEEING TOO ALISA
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda between yellow and orange. I feel excited at new opportunities this week!
ReplyDeleteGrace
Oh, thanks so much for having this giveaway. My mood is great today, so I would say blue, but a happy aqua blue not a sad blues blue.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany

blood red with sprinkles of violet, beware!
ReplyDeleteHi Alisa,
ReplyDeleteI've been really enjoying your blog posts since I signed up and feel really inspired by all that you share - thank you so much!
Thanks too for this chance to be entered in your giveaway. Today I am feeling 'turquoise' - heading off to the beach (it's cold - 47 degrees F) here in the UK but loving the idea of some space.
Purple :-)
ReplyDeleteA deep rich, royal purple.
I associate it with happiness, positivity and beauty. It's like my colour prozac :-)
I'll have to go with yellow seeing that the sun is shining quite brightly today :) sunshine always makes me happy
ReplyDeleteMy colour is a depressing grey - not a strong ash grey more of a yucky slate grey. After spending all weekend in the cancer ward at hospital this is what a feel like, tired and slate grey!

Today purple is my color. Not just purple, but the whole palette of purples, the ones we see today in the flowers contrasting with the fresh green of new leaves...
ReplyDeleteI've always been attracted to purple, don't know why, probaly because it can be a "cold" and a "warm" color at the same time, and anywhere in between...
Would love to win your abstract class, you hit on that subject in the create daily class and foudn it very inspiring...
I've already typed this message but something went wrong when I "sent" it. Sorry if it appears twice...
Have a beautiful fun filled sunny day with Lucy and your art (and all your online students throughout the world)
This course looks awesome. I love abstract art. Today I am feeling yellow...cheerful and anticipating fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of this course!..and my color today--my new discovey--orange!
ReplyDeleteMy colour today is blue. It is my favourite colour because of the many variations and everything that it represents. To me it is a happy, happy vibrant colour. I would love to win this course. I have taken quite a few online "Alisa Burke" workshops and they have all been excellent. Thank you for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteToday i'm feeling light green : partly blue mood with a pinch of yellow that light up my day.
ReplyDeleteThank for sharing your art !

ReplyDeletefamillemarleau@globetrotter.net
Sounds like a fun workshop! I think the color that represents my mood today would probably be a bunch of colors,because I'm feeling a anxious today because I have so much to do this week. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteToday i am blue... with lots to do, running low on energy after a very active 2 months of art events. Must pull it together for another one this weekend. NO rest for the artsy! :D
ReplyDeleteGreen --- fresh starts and new beginnings!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling yellow....looking forward to what the week will bring.
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo excited to hear about this class. This is my favorite kind of art and yours is truly amazing!!! Would love love to win a spot in this class, thanks so much for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite colors this week have been purple and yellow!!! The color purple has slowly been growing on me and now I love it!! Was fun to read the comments and see some other purple lovers here.
re: prairiejill's comment on her purple houses. I've been making purple houses too, so much fun!
Thanks again!
My mood...the need to express without being confined by habit! I am a creature of habit.
ReplyDeleteOoooh.. today I am gray. Cold and raw today, plus feeling a bit under the weather.
ReplyDeletesome snuggling pastels !
ReplyDeleteOh! What a great class! This morning, I was blue. But now that I've seen your class, I'm yellow, and red, and orange! Seems my creative juices are coming!!!!!!!! Thank you, Alisa!
ReplyDeleteGreen because I love the smell of fresh cut grass, and it reminds me of new beginnings. I am beginning a new chapter in my life since being laid off...it's gonna be great.

ReplyDeleteToday is definitely an olive green day (Not a colour I like!) The weather has gone cold and the week is full of 'must do's'. Cheer up my week and pull me out of your hat!
ReplyDeleteI'm def green today.... Cool and vibrant and energizing!
ReplyDeleteperiwinkle...a little blue today and a little purple hopeful for things to come. :)
ReplyDeletemy color today is probably yellow, due to the fact that the sun is actually out for a change, lol! thank you so much for a chance to win one of your workshops!!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling ice-blue today. I'm bit sad because my son left the nest and the weather fits my mood, cold, icy and stormy. But now i have seen your class the ice in the blue is melting ...
ReplyDeleteBlue, but not because I'm feeling sad. I've never really thought of blue as a melancholy color... For me blue represents happiness - like the bright, beautiful sky that is currently outside my window :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity to win a spot - I could definitely use a refresher in loosening up and letting go!
Red is my all time favorite color, no matter what my mood is!
ReplyDeleteJan H.
This course looks lovely and i love abstract art.
ReplyDeleteToday I am feeling blue,oceanblue!!!
Thanks Alisa,
Alexandra
Hello Alisa.
ReplyDeleteI am in a turquoise mood today which means that I am happy and content. My kids were home last night and we had a lovely time together.
Brigette
I'm sort of a plum blue- a tiny bit more "purple" than indigo, I think...
ReplyDeletei believe i favor the cool colors..... but i am feeling more "orange" today..... your class should be soooo fun.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteToday my mood is green. To me it means that I'm hopeful for a productive and restful day for me and my children. Yay spring break!!
ReplyDeleteyellow:)
ReplyDeleteThis new class looks AMAZING, Alisa! Would love to win a spot!
ReplyDeleteThe color represents my mood today is red...hot...we are going to have record-high temperatures in the 90s!
~Mary
Alisa I am so excited for this class!! Looks amazing!! Thanks for the chance to win a spot!!
ReplyDeleteMy color today is gray . . . wishing it was brighter but maybe tomorrow!
:)
I'm feeling bright pink today. First day back to school (art teacher) after spring break and beautiful flowers blooming in the yard. Excited for what the spring/summer will bring and excited to have this summer to go through a few of your classes and regenerate after my first year :)
ReplyDeleteI feel bright yellow! I love how happy and life giving that color is.. ohh I'd love to win a spot in this class. .thank you Alisa! xo hugs
ReplyDeletebonitarose in Fargo
Multi-colors today....going lots of directions and feeling every which way and colorful! Thank you for the chance to win a place in your class.
ReplyDeleteToday my color would be grey...I have a slight headache and the sun is not out so a dreary color represents my mood.
ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time at the MOMA in NYC but seldom understand the abstract art or what makes it museum-worthy. I'd love to learn more about this topic.
ReplyDeletetoday I fell.....red!!
ReplyDeleteToday I am kind of a pale blue-grey. While the sun is out and spring is on its way (we had absolutely gorgeous weather this past week), today a storm is rolling in and bringing a lot of wind with it.
ReplyDeleteI need to learn the language of colors! I would love for the chance to take this class and be able to express my emotions in a visual way. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot! If I had to guess, I'd guess today was a green day for me, jealous of all these comments with such good answers!!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to hear about your art education and how you came to love abstraction. I am still in the learning stages, so I have been focusing on making my images look real. But we just finished a big abstract project in my color theory class, and now I have a new appreciation and a new love.
ReplyDeleteToday my mood is represented by green because of all the wonderful things coming back to life in our gardens, and because I'm feeling hopeful.
Definately blue today. I little sad blue mixed with a little happy blue.
ReplyDeleteToday I'm fushia, with a sprinkling of lime, lavender and tangerine!! It's a day off and I'm ready to create!! I enjoyed sktchbook delight so much and am really happy for the chance to win a scholaship to this class. It looks so freeing!! Would LOVE to win!!
ReplyDeleteHello Alisa, I love your blog, and has brought back the love that I have of art and being creative, to put my feelings in art, where I am who I am. I am feeling the color red today. I found a cardinal singing outside of my house today, and made me feel happy and happy is what I feel. :)
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to do an online art class! I feel "stuck" in my artwork and definitely over think things!
ReplyDeleteThe color that represents my mood today is blue. There is some stressful stuff going on, but there's hope!
ROJO Red! powerful, energy, passion, love
ReplyDeleteBlue...a blue norther blew through last night interrupting my thoughts and making me understand why "they" call a storm blue. Orange is starting to peek through just a wee bit, a lucky and auspicious color.
ReplyDeleteI feel definitely turquoise today with some pink spots....
ReplyDeleteHi, Alisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Today I'm feeling red because I'm always burning with creative ideas I wish I had time to execute.
Have a great day!
Mindy
Oh wow! I've always wanted to learn how to make abstract art that would actually *look* good. ha ha ha. Thanks for the giveaway, Alisa.
ReplyDeleteooh! I would SO love to win a spot in the class. It looks like so much fun. My color is blue, because my head is a big cloudy today!
ReplyDeleteToday my color would be red = action ;) Today I'm full of energy ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day! :)
I'm feeling YELLOW today, probably because the sun has returned after three days of cloudy/misty weather.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the sketching class right now, and already signed up for watercolor. This one would be a great next step!
ReplyDeleteI am purple today... for lots of reasons!
Thanks, Alisa!
Whee! Another class to explore--can't wait. I've been feeling green recently--the desert in AZ is starting to bloom and I'm heading back to MI soon where the leaves are already opening. I love spring!
ReplyDeleteI would usually say amethyst (my favorite) but today is a bright yellowy orange, happy color!! As bright as the sun, cheerful and glorious!
ReplyDeleteGreens of every hue embody today from the lemon yellowest of green to blackest of the forest green...
ReplyDeleteContinued Success!
I'm feeling yellow today - mellow yellow.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a great gift you're offering us- once again!
ReplyDeleteMy mood is green- in all shades: The dark green of my study, which reminds me of a tranquil forrest, the soft green of my favourite sweat-pants, the bright and gentle green, which starts to push up through the soil as the flowers on my balcony grows and even the bright neon green of the post it stickers and highlighter ink in my term paper and the associated books and essays...
love, yash
I caught the virus my kids have, and I am definitely a bilious green today. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm entering this Mega Lottery here because your class sounds just the ticket to jump start my new art exploration (at age 65, Ha! It's never too late.) Today, I'm green, not for metaphorical reasons, but because I'm jealous of fabulous young artists who started early and had the courage to claim their creativity.

ReplyDeleteBlack - scattered. Like a scribbly black line. I want to be where I am not. :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great! Thanks for the contest.
Today I'm feeling Robin's Egg Blue. I'm not sad or anything, actually quite content at this very moment. Spring has sprung and I've been listening to the birds chirping all morning. I love your classes and would love to win this one. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteToday I summon electric blue for the energy to deal with the uncertainities and challenges in my world right now, and a sense of calm and knowing that a brighter world is closer than I see. I will wear blue today to and face my fears with determination and optimism about my future. Thanks for raising the question and reminding me of the power and healing properties colors hold for each of us!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Alisa,
ReplyDeleteI am feeling a little acid green this a.m.. I think that an abstract class would be would definitely shift some energy (and change some perspective.)Hoping your day is lovely.
Thank you for this opportunity! I am feeling green today, a bright grassy green, refreshed and rejuvenated and balanced.
ReplyDeleteYellow... for sunshine. It's a beautiful, sunny day. Perfect for gardening and getting inspiration! Thanks for the opportunity, Alisa!
ReplyDeleteI am feeling like a vibrant spring green today!
ReplyDeleteFeeling blue. My thirteen yr old dog is not doing well.
ReplyDeleteI am aqua today. I feel light, energetic, happy, and free like the aqua ocean. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYellow represents my mood today. I'm feeling pretty sunny and optimistic ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm lime green - it's sunny here in Seattle for the first time in weeks, it's green and warm, I'm healthy and happy - IT'S SPRING!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the class - it sounds totally awesome!
I am all gray pinstripes today - not that I wear gray pinstripes, but I am feeling cold, hard and guarded today.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a free class to let the other side of my personality have some breathing room!
If my feelings could be represented in a colour today, I would be a deep blue (I found out a few weeks ago that I was having a miscarriage... and over time I felt better - but this past weekend I found I am still pregnant with a non-viable pregnancy)
ReplyDeleteHopefully later, I will be orange :) I havea few girlfriend coming over for dinner tonight,a nd we are having tacos. We always have lots of fun when we get together, I am in need of a girls night
Can rainbow be a color? Not because I'm overly moody today, but just because rainbows are beautiful and I am just feeling inspired by all the beauty around me today.
