Earth Day was my Birthday!

New 15-Minute Watercolor Watermelon Slice Class
Hey Art Lovelies!
I hope you are having a great week! Yesterday was my Birthday so I relaxed, got pampered, and did absolutely "NOTHING" but eat all day. My son has been on a baking kick and made me the most delicious birthday carrot cake and if I could share it with you I would (fewer calories that way)!  What else is going on? Well, I am playing more with my procreate app and getting a few small wins. 
Today I added a quick sketch of the watermelon slice and added it as a FREE Printable Sketch DOWNLOAD for you to copy/trace and paint. 
Of course, if you rather join me for the full 15 Minute Bite-Sized Class with full voice tutorial steps, I would love to have you!  I hope you are having a great week! 

Also a reminder for those of you joining us in the  Alcohol Ink Art Community Spring Conference, it's almost here. I'll be sharing my new Alcohol Ink and UV resin Cell phone popper/grippers. Here's a peek at what they look like! I'm using T-Rex alcohol ink (lovely colors) and they have been so kind as to offer my followers Discount code to use: TREXINKS10.  If you are not planning to join the conference I do have plans to add this course on my website for you at a later date. 


Sending Happy Thoughts!

XOXO, Kellie

Testing 8 Watercolor Brushes for painting leaves



Testing 8 Watercolor Brushes for painting leaves by Jenna Rainey.
Sometimes I just don't feel like thinking about what I want to paint, so today I watch Jenna Rainey paint some leaves with her favorite brush, which I didn't have by the way (boo).

Thought I would give 8 different round brushes a try (that I did own) to see how they would do. Psst..started out with 5 but added 3 more from my LIVE Facebook video.

I did go way to fast for the perfect leaves, so make sure to check out Jenna Leaf tutorial!

❤️SUPPLIES USED IN THIS DEMO are linked in my youtube comments.

New Jewelry UV Resin projects


Hello, Art Peeps!


(Speaking of Peeps...do you find them to be your favorite snack in April along with those little Cadbury eggs? I know I do, yum! )

If you have been following my Instagram page you may have seen some of my new UV resin projects that I've been working on. I have to tell you I'm very excited about how fast I can make these mini art pendants! I use all of my old scraps from past projects that just didn't pan out. 


Since the original Alcohol Ink Pendant course was one of my very first online courses, I've added some updated lectures including how to use UV resin in place of glue. It's a great way to eliminate those pesky bubbles or silver spots under your glass cabochons.

I've also found some awesome little steel bezels that you can engrave on, plus they do not tarnish like some of the other sterling silver/plated bezels for those of us that hate to clean them. 

I also added some quick tips on how I photograph my finished jewelry pieces for online sales. 

If you want to learn more about the full process, please join me 
in the full course "Alcohol INk Pendants"I'm so excited to share some new information with you!


NEW UPDATED CLASS


I hope you are all doing well and staying creative!
