Apple Picking in Maine

Such an amazing weekend at Trewgory Apple Orchard in Levant, Maine!

We took a walk around to look at the trees and headed out to do some Apple Picking and checked out the Corn maze at Trewgory Apple Orchard in Levant Maine. Ever seen Children of the corn movie by Stephen King? I just felt like I experienced it first hand. The corn maze this year was based on a wonderful Maine Children's book called:  "Blueberries for Sal"




Fall is definitely here this weekend and I am excited to show you how to paint a realistic
apple painting using alcohol inks! For the Alcohol Ink Apple Mini Course sign up HERE

Art Vacation Week with Mom

My Cutie Patootie Mom painting the flowers!

Mother/Daughter time never gets old.

I told my Dad I was kidnapping her.....

I had the best vacation week ever with my Mom last week.

The first day we went to the Maine State Music Theatre  and I got to see my very ALL TIME FAVORITE movie

as a play...what would that be? "The Wizard Of OZ" of course. 

Our week was all playtime and sunsets!

Swimming, kayaking,  lunch out everyday, and even had cheesecake for breakfast!

The biggest part of the week was spent painting and creating and here's what we did. 

Day 1 - Brought out the alcohol inks and she painted a gorgeous hummingbird in Masterpieces Hard Core Art  panels.

Day 2 - Painted on Silk Scarves. Now neither one of us had done this before, so it was experiment time for us both. Fun trying different options like Jacquard Dynaflow paints, Alcohol Inks, and even Brusho. Super fun results. I am planning to experiment more and do a class in the future. 

Day 3- We got my Resin out and I made some Maine Lobster Jewelry from the shells.

Day 4  She painted this lovely bouquet that my wonderful neighbor gave us along with some
           fresh garden cucumbers and tomatoes! ( I know right, lucky!!) 

Day 5 - I filmed her painting one of her photographs from Acadia Maine over at the Bluff House Inn.
           (We get a really good deal since my Brother and his wife are the Inns owners!) 

Now that my vacation is over I'm back to working on my Online courses and just finished up August in time!

I'm super excited.......What's it about you ask? 

Shimmer colors!!! 

Ok, so how many of you are seeing all of these gorgeous alcohol inks with shimmer or sparkles? If you have been following me you know that I am a debt free simple living artist and although I don't mind spending money on things I really love, I do like to repurpose things that I already have to save.

Shimmer inks - you know you want to try them!
I'll show you how you can easily create your own shimmer colors in a number of mediums that you probably already have hanging around. We will practice, play and explore a few options and we will finish up this beautiful shell project at the end. 

I've also added 2 more PFD's that you can print off to create some more shells.

Thankful to have you here!

Alcohol Ink Flower Illustration Painting

Watch the video here: Alcohol Ink Flower Illustration Painting

Check out this simple alcohol ink demo tutorial - Last week we did the watercolor version, so check it out to see the differences between the two mediums. It's super fun to try it in another medium.  Again less than 15 minute warm up, the perfect project for a daily journal.  

I have the full demo video up on my youtube channel.

Here is last weeks watercolor version. Both of these are a very quick exercise but let me know in the comments below which one you prefer. 

This is a super easy way to create a very whimsical grouping of flowers very quickly. I'm using the brand Pinata inks by jacquard here along with some Mineral paper. We start with a very simple flower shape and try it with a few colors. Add some green stems then let that dry. Once it's dry you can use a black sharpie pen to outline the shapes giving it  wonderful illustration quality. Try using a few different brushes to see how it changes the flowers. Try the inks very wet and then more dry to see the difference in details.

I do offer up a Full online course on how to paint a lilac and sunflower, if you want to paint along!

Alcohol Ink Tips and Tricks on tile with Kellie Chasse

Hi Everyone, it's Tuesday so that means I have another  #tuesdayvideo over on my youtube channel.

This one is an easy demo and my dog Primm gets to make her cameo appearance!

Check out this easy tile project with Alcohol ink, you can wipe it off and start over on again on tiles so I find them a great way to practice dry time with Alcohol Inks. We'll create some little leaves and dots using Ranger Alcohol Ink along with the Blending Solution. Blending solution will help the inks stay wet longer.

This is a Wet in Wet Quick and fun practice tutorial and technique on how to create with Alcohol Ink.

I mentioned in the video my new Birch Tree Skillshare Course is now LIVE.

Don't forget the Alcohol Ink Art Conference May 5th, find out more details!
