Playdate with BB – March 14, 2026 (Replay)

Replay this cozy, creative playdate with BB! In this recorded session, you’ll watch her process up close as she explores color studies, grid journaling, and creating a master sheet. BB begins by experimenting with a small palette of blues—mixing, swatching, and creating quick color studies. She then carries those same colors into a grid journal spread, layering paint, collage, and marks. Finally, she works on a larger franken paper master sheet, building layers on a big surface before cutting favorite sections into smaller pieces that can be arranged into new grid-style compositions. An easygoing mix of demos, conversation, and experimentation—perfect for exploring color and letting ideas evolve without pressure.

Think of this like a play along session with BB. Experimentation, play, asking "what if?" - and taking you along for the ride.

I say it's not an official class because I don't have a lesson plan.. However this playdate is over two hours of me talking through my process and teaching as I work intuitively. You get to see what works, what doesn't, and everything in between.
