make the art you love.

Hi Diane, My husband and I love the painting that we bought at your booth at Art in the Pearl. We came home and immediately found a prominent spot for it in our breakfast nook where we can see it every day! It was so wonderful to meet you in person and to be able to tell you how much I have enjoyed your online classes via Carla's website. I'm thrilled to now own a signed copy of your book, as well (thank you for that gift!).
I hope the rest of the weekend at the art fair was good for you - when we saw you on Saturday morning, your paintings were getting so much joyful attention from people.
Thank you for sharing your art with the world - it's uplifting!
Joan, an appreciative student and now a happy collector of your art!

If You Can Doodle, Your Can Paint looks at the small, impromtu doodles we make on a daily basis as resources; treasures from which we can create full-sized paintings. Even if you don't consider yourself a doodler, the exercises and techniques in this book will give you a fun way to tap into your personal style.The invitation starts with a pencil as you work through doodle assignments. Eventually, you will learn how to size up and combine these doodles into larger compositions. Then, you will begin mixing it up with watercolor paints and, finally, with acrylic paints.
Grab some pens and paints and get creative!
