Get Messy

Season of New

with Caylee Grey

Get Messy has been around since 2014. We just wrapped up our FIFTIETH season. That’s half a century of art seasons.

This season, Caylee encourages you to go back to your roots. Helen challenges you to select one simple starting point from nature and recreate it several times in different ways in your sketchbook. Kristin leads you in adding pockets to hold tags. And experiment with colour play in your sketchbook with Laurel.
