Hello Reader,

It has been a while since I got an update out! Life has been full of projects and personal happenings. As we move into spring (how is it late March already!?) I'm feeling inspired, creative, and motivated to move my business forward. Here are some updates of what's been happening!

The Past two months

Outdoor Marketing Bootcamp
In February I spoke on two different topics at the Outdoor Marketing Bootcamp led by 52Eighty Creative. It was a great experience sharing about consistent branding and tips for people who where many hats.

Procreate for Beginners
I have officially led my first class of teaching at the Denver Botanic Gardens School of Botanic Art and Illustration! I have been a student for over two years in the program, but never did I imagine I'd be teaching! It was a great experience with great conversation and questions from the students. My favorite part? Seeing some of their work shared in Padlet and learning more about their experience.

Lifetime Creative Coaching Program
This February I started an entrepreneur creative coaching program to help me align my business with my goals. I have officially been running my business for over five years, but it felt like time to really focus in on my offerings... and have some accountability!

Passion Projects
Because I'm not busy enough, I have also been helping with other projects like PTO events at my son's school. This has been a great way to connect and get involved with my community.

Update on Instagram
Last year I thought I would create an Instagram (@BotanicalsByBecca) to document my botanical art, but I have realized it is unsustainable. I neglected my business Instagram (@Rebecca_Leigh_Designs) and then felt paralyzed with posting on either. I have decided to stick to only using my business Instagram, but share both art and design/business items. I hope you'll follow along!

Upcoming

Procreate for Botanical Illustration
In less than two weeks I'll be leading my next class with the Denver Botanic Gardens School of Botanic Art and Illustration. This course will be over three weeks April 7-21 and I'll cover bringing in sketches to Procreate, recreating them within the software, using layers, using masks for non-destructive experimenting, and then exporting your composition for transferring to your final paper. Join me!

Class: Procreate for Botanical Illustration

We’ll use Procreate for sketch refinement, composition planning, value studies, color exploration, and transferring your digital work to paper. Perfect for anyone wanting to bridge digital + traditional botanical art. Tuesdays: April 7, 14 & 21 with Denver Botanic Gardens.
