For the next five Friday’s, Lilla will be sharing her top picks from each of the 2015 Bootcamp Galleries.
Make Art That Sells: Assignment Bootcamp with Lilla Rogers is a structured five-month program of monthly assignments to help you build a strong body of work. It is an exciting online experience to help you create professional-level art in a supportive, nurturing environment, at a relaxed pace over an extended period of time.

Here is part 1 of Lilla’s Top Picks. Part 1 is from the January 2015 gallery with comments on each piece.
The January gallery features nearly 500 pieces of original art inspired by the January class assignment… a journal featuring Edwardian brooch-inspired imagery!
Well done to all who were chosen.

JJ Galloway
Lilla’s Comments: “Placing the painterly, bold, gem-bordered heart on top of a tactile, weathered piece of burlap is a really edgy juxtaposition. This piece would read well small, too, which is key on social media. I might embroider the type at the bottom “my musings”.”

Kendra Binney
Lilla’s Comments: “While not a literal depiction of gems, the addition of the faceted, ghostly shapes adds to this dreamy piece. How about painting the signature at the bottom?”

Laurie Downing
Lilla’s Comments: “Besides the gorgeous symmetry and pretty colors, the embossed/letterpress look that Laurie created is show-stopping. Also, it’s nice to see the influence of the insect brooches and the filagree.”

Marie Coons
Lilla’s Comments: “This is the kind of quirky originality that we love! The Edward Gorey-ish cat renderings are great. You can tell that the artist had fun with the project. I would totally buy this journal. #charmingeccentricity”
