Artist Tip: Matting and Packaging Art Prints

How I Mat and Package my Art and Prints

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, are you eating leftover pumpkin pie for breakfast like me? It's Black Friday today and since the Holiday Season is now upon us I thought I would share a quick Artist Tip with you! 

I remember when I first started to purchase mats for my work I was having them cut by a professional framer and they were like $12+ dollars each time, and this was for the small 8x10" size. 

As a simple living, debt free artist I'm always trying to find deals and came across these lovely little Mat Kits. They come in a standard 8x10" or 11x14" Size that will fit your 5x7" or 8x10" Prints.  In the video below I'll cover where I purchase them and how easy it is to package up your prints to mail.

I also found some Gold Autographed copy stickers that I add to the prints that I've personally signed.

When you have the Art resin all mixed up an you don't want to waste it...you get creative! If you have been following me on Instagram you may of seen the LOVELY Full jar of original Maine Sea Glass that my Mom so graciously donated to me for my art. She has been collecting this glass for years along the Maine Beaches. Many are from hard to get to places by boat from her years of sailing. My favorite color to work with is the Teals and Blues but unfortunately there isn't a lot of it, so again it will be  created in limited quantities. I will be posting them periodically on my Kellie Chasse Fine Art facebook page, so head over there to check out the New Store I'm setting up on there to have a chance to grab one.

"Powerful" - Alcohol Ink on Yupo 9x12"

"Powerful"

Alcohol Ink on Mineral Paper - $125

Free Shipping USA

Still working with the new Alcohol Ink blending solution that I created. I love how it really softens the edges of the paintings. What do you see....clouds....waves....other?

The colors in this one are Twilight, Cool Peri, and Snowcap.

Here is a time lapse video of  "Femininity" 

Both pieces of work where done on Mineral Paper, which is made from Rocks.

It's a light weight paper compared to Yupo, but it's more cost effect.  Some folks may be interested in the  Air Brush that I"m using - there is a separate Video HERE and here is the link where I purchased mine:  Masters Air Brush

Decisions on abstracts - Which way is UP?

Option 1 

"Birth of Spring" - $125 

Artist Kellie Chasse 

Alcohol Ink On Yupo Paper - 9x12" 

 Leaf trying to push the last of the beautiful colorful bud from the flower to emerge full and strong.

Always the hard part with abstract paintings, which way is up? Tell us your ideas on this. I've numbered the options for you to choose, just leave a comment below with your ideas.

As an artist do you make the decision on your contemporary art or let your client? Do you sign yours?

Option 2 - These are all from the same painting. I love the gold in here but also the softness around the edges and the contrast between the two. 

Or as a art collector would you prefer to not have the artist sign the work on the front so you can choose to display it the way you see it? 

Option 3 - Some pieces are cropped and can easily be matted to a smaller 8x10" Frame.

To create this painting I used the Masters Airbrush again along with the Watercolor Pens filled with my own home made Alcohol Ink blending solution.

More Information about the Masters Air Brush 

New Short Demo Video on my New Air Brush on Tiles!

Here is the information on the Air Brush - It's very inexpensive and I am using it to Blow air only, and that seems to work great - can't comment on how great it works with paints.

If you have been watching my Facebook page or my Instagram page last week, you know that I'm very excited about my new purchase of a Masters Air Brush.

 In this quick 5 min youtube video I demo a little blimp using alcohol Ink on a tile. I use the compressor to blow the inks making a neat looking flower-ish image.

New Course In the Works!

I'll be working on a new online course for something similar to this one using Alcohol Inks and layers of Resin to create this piece on a liquid art panel. The process creates a lot of depth in the painting, almost a 3D image look that I'm in love with and hope to share real soon with you!

Just Finished This Maine Live Red Lobster Watercolor Painting

Just wanted to share with you all my latest watercolor painting. I have been searching for a great red Lobster photo for 2 years now. I new that Mr. Blue needed a buddy! 

Mr. Blue Original is Sold but Prints are available!

While I was hanging out on instragram trying to figure the whole who to follow and all that techy stuff, I ran across a beautiful piece of jewelry Maine jewelry shop called WattsinMaine. While scrolling through her amazing Maine inspired gold necklaces and bracelets I saw this Lobster shot!

They were so kind when I asked for permission to use their photo as my reference! 

Original Photo by watts in maine

I started out with a sketch and added Masking fluid to keep the area white.

The claw was next, there are so many color! I used a wet into wet technique to layer them. The first wash was a light orange, red, with a bit of purple in the darker areas. Once that was dry I did the same steps, but chose a darker shade of each.

Steps

I

I decided to piece out the big guy, almost like I would if I were eating him LOL!

Claws first and the tail last. 

I find all these color details too over whelming, so I didn't want to punch in the color everywhere at once. This helps to keep my mind at rest....I painted one section at a time as to not get overwhelmed by the whole thing, plus I could see all the variations of color in each small section.

Maine Red Lobster Art

Finally I finished the body and tail and then tweaked the eyes a bit more. I wanted it to seem like he was looking right at you (DON'T EAT ME). My big dilemma was do I leave the background white? I love Mr. Blue's white background...as I was able to Photoshop him into other background colors.

Prints are now available in Acrylic, Canvas or Framed, plus they have shower curtains, pillows, and totes....cool huh! My son wants the shower curtain for the bathroom!

Looking forward to looking for a Calico Lobster next...so if you have any pictures to share with me, please send me a email!!!

 I have a number of youtube video's with free previews and if you sign up for my newsletter I offer specials on my website for online watercolor and Alcohol Ink classes. They are beginner classes.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Ten

Off on to day two of the pet portraits with oils - this is "DUKE" He has a lot of nooks and crannies, aka little folds in his fur, another bit of a challenge for me with oils! 

I've been meaning to paint Duke for years now, he's our dog Primm's best friend up to camp at Jo Mary Lake, in the Northern Maine woods. They would blissfully play and run around like two crazy kids and Primm always loved Dukes food much better than hers, although she would ultimately end up with the other kind of RUNS every time she snuck over and managed to eat, not just one...but the entire whole bowl if she could get away with it.

We miss it terribly up to Jo Mary, it was filled with our family and a number of fantastically fun and sweet people. But it was a three hour drive one way on the weekends and since we purchased our new small home with the water view we decided not to head back there last year. It's bitter sweet.

Busy Weekend with Alcohol Inks!

Had a terrific weekend with sales and had to see so many wonderful people at the yearly Craft Show at Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School this past Saturday!

A number of collectors and friends came by to see me, and I want to thank them very much for all their support!

Oh, and if you see something in the picture you just gotta have, let me know!

Sunday Morning my mother and I heading out to The Gallery 11 at Pleasant in Brunswick to hang our November exhibit for the Small Works - Holiday Gifts! All the art is reasonably priced and perfectly small for the gift giving season.

There will be an opening Artist reception with drinks and live music and gift wrapping available on Friday, November 14th from 5-8. They will be doing a give-a-way for a few $25 gift certificates too! Would love to see you all there!

Boxes Of Cards - Great Gifts!

Boxes of Cards ready to go! I have made each box assorted - 8 different cards/envelopes to a box. Here are a few samples as to what's in them. These make wonderful little gifts for the holidays!
