New Beginner Lupine Watercolor Course Online






Lifetime BEGINNER WATERCOLOR COURSE - Learn to Paint this Maine Lupine Scene in my Online Udemy Course. Watch and Paint as many times as you like! Even better with Family and Friends!

Have you ever wanted to take up watercolors, but found most classes are too heavy and academic? These classes are similar to a Paint Night but we use watercolors. The classes are Easy, and no basic knowledge of watercolors are needed. You can usually finish your first painting under 2 hours.

This course is simple and minimal materials are needed to start painting today. Use any watercolors or brushes you have on hand, but I'll give you my favorite supplies and a PDF list to go by.

The course is broken down into small easy steps and I'll paint along with you. If you have questions as you go along please feel free to send me a private message or ask openly on the discussion board.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 25 "Moonlight"


"Moonlight"
Alcohol Ink on Tile

Alcohol Ink on Tile is just as fun as Yupo and less expense.
It's a great medium to start with if you decide to try alcohol Inks.

I  used a small glossy white tile, 4 colors of ink, one small paint brush, and a white gel pen
to complete this one.

Ink Colors: 
Stream
Shell Pink
Snowcap
Pitch Black

Udemy Bloopers - Yes I can laugh at myself


 My Udemy Bloopers.....Yep, I'm that silly...and I do laugh at myself all the time.

If you have yet to try Alcohol Inks - it's a must. The colors, vibrancy, and spontaneity is amazing with this medium. Sometime's when I start I let the inks take me where they want to go. I find that shapes and images start to take place in front of my eyes.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 22



It's almost 9pm on a Friday night, and I'm just posted today's painting - but I squeaked by!
Whew...maybe tomorrow's I'll get a head start. Only one week left in the Challenge.

I always say I'm going to plan ahead for these challenges, but I guess I'm more of a procrastinator
that I like to admit. You would think the sixth time would be a charm huh?

You can view a quick time lapse video of my painting process.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 21 Lupines


Hoping to have my third online Watercolor course called Lupines up and running on Udemy! If all goes well, fingers crossed that it's published within a week or two!

My first course took 3 months, the second went much smoother and the third....well I'm happy to say... so far so good. I've even added more details than from my Live classes. The nice thing about online course's...you can stop, pause, and rewind. Plus it's a lifetime course, so that means take it as many times as you like!

After working 8 hours today on the painting, then some video, and audio editing I ran out of steam for painting another for painting tonight, so I'm counting my Online Course scene for today's.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 19 "More Poppies"


Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 19

More poppies today - still on a color splat kick.
Love the movement of them.


My hubby a number of my favorite chocolates for Christmas, so I snapped
some pictures today to see if I could find some inspiration. I think I'm going with this one as a challenge, but not completely convinced on painting words and tin foil.

Check back tomorrow to see how it went! :)

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 14 Cone Flower


5x7" Cone Flower

The day was a blur yesterday....had a meeting with a gentleman from New York that does Art Publishing and they want to use my art! I will be working on a portfolio with sections of my work for him today. It's really amazing to look back at how many paintings that I've painted over the years.

One thing that I make sure to do is take a raw image of each piece of art when it's completed.

State taxes are do on the 15th, so I'll be working on getting my final figures out on that, plus working on my next online Udemy watercolor course and adding more public courses to my Art Class calendar.

Must squeeze in some time for tomorrow's painting - wish me luck!

teenager.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Twelve - Somewhere in Maine


No particular place in Maine
Used only 3 colors - 
  Alizarin Crimson and a Cad yellow
along with black gouache. 

From the winsor newton site:


Alizarin Crimson Hue is a quinacridrone based pigment closely resembling genuine Alizarin Crimson. It is a transparent red pigment with blue undertones.


A by-product of the zinc industry, Cadmium was discovered in 1817.

 Boothbay Harbor, Maine
Two Mini Original Watercolor's
Purchase Information HERE 



Some of my favorite paintings to complete are mini's. I purchased these little mats a while ago, not realizing how much fun it would be to paint so small. They are the perfect size for my daily paintings.


I can sit on my couch, watch a movie and paint a mini all at the same time - who knew!
I'm a multi-tasker...but you can't tell my 14 year old son that (NO comparison)!

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 2


Harpswell, Maine
Oil on Canvas  12" x 24"



It's Day 2, got a late start on today's painting last night after everyone settled in for the night. My
back porch area where I normally paint is now to cold, so I brought my easel into my kitchen area and set up. I do however create a mess in my kitchen!

I'm thinking maybe I should have stuck with watercolor's, but I was feeling an urge to work with oils. Normally, most of my friends and family wouldn't call me a moody person, but I certainly have different Artist personalities! I really do try to pick a theme when I start the 30 day challenge, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. I must paint what I feel.

We'll just have to see where tomorrow will lead me.
