Super interesting! Thanks Wendy for the step by step.

Have been dreaming about creating a studio for myself - so the timing couldn’t be better!

Thank you Anne for creating a way we can get in contact with each other and meet up!

Thank you, Wendy! Reading all you’re cooking up in the coming weeks has me giddy. And it’s kind of you to drop the paywall this month. So many folks could benefit from this creative community. Sharing now. Thanks for the spreadsheet, Anne! 👏🖌️❤️

Hello GUT Community! It’s my first visit here, although I’ve followed you, Wendy, since this all started back in 2020, and actually before that with the cookbook and How to Say Goodbye. I love art of all kinds but cannot even draw a stick figure. So nice of you to make it free for us to try out. I’m so inspired I’m already planning to pay up! Yay!

P.S. What does GUT stand for?

My dream studio has a roof (I fudged that in) and a lighthouse-shaped outbuilding which means CURVED rooflines? How???

Wendy, you are epic! Also, Anne and Jenny. I've been MIA here lately, (life!) but every time I jump back in I'm inspired. Thank you!

hi everyone! I'm pretty new around here myself and plan on going back in time and doing all the GUT lessons I can find. very pleased to be here. I'm trying to get better at drawing so I can move those skills into my textile art practice. (and maybe get back to watercolor as well.) thank you, Wendy, for this place

So excited for the SF GUT getting together in person! Hopefully we can do something similar in the middle of the country.

As for this week's assignment, my dream studio would be in Vernazza, Italy but I am flying to Costa Rica tomorrow for work so maybe after this week - the dream studio may be a mix of Vernaza and Italy - TBD!

I have been trying to figure out perspective for so long! I have one point down, super pleased to find you teaching this.

And it's very generous of you to be opening this for people this month. Kind. We need a lot of kind right now to balance the world. Thanks for doing some of it.

Wendy - that Fablemans video was AMAZING and I watched it TEN TIMES! I was learning perspective in another class and it gives so many people (including me) trouble. I needed that laugh and I shared the video. And it helps that David Lynch is my favorite creator of all time. I am just over the moon. And I won’t forget how to make drawings more interesting 🤣

This lesson was awesome.
