VOL. 1
ABOUT VOLUME 1
MY THOUGHTS ON ART SUPPLIES
It’s easy to feel excited (and a little swept away) by art supplies, especially when starting a new class. You don't need to use the exact colors, brands, or mediums I use in the creative lessons. I always encourage using what you already have—some of my best discoveries came from substituting materials, and I know it will happen to you, too!
I don't provide links to specific supplies because these lessons focus on cultivating your creative voice. Substituting materials allows for exploration and helps you stay connected to what feels natural and inspiring in your process. If you're interested in a more step-by-step approach with a detailed list of art supplies and resource links, you will find over 35 classes on my main classroom site at Renee Mueller Art.
Volume 1 of The Artist Collective is about immersing yourself in the creative process without getting caught up in perfect results. You'll find lessons on gathering an inspired collection, sketching from life, color studies, collage, and more.
It's designed to get you experimenting, problem-solving, and finding your artistic rhythm. The goal is to help you enjoy making art again – to play, explore, and see where it takes you. Whether you're just starting out or looking to bring fresh energy into your practice, this volume will help you reconnect with your creativity in a natural, inspiring way.
