LIVE ZOOM PAINT PARTIES!

I have taught LIVE watercolor classes locally for corporate events, fundraisers, private home parties, Hobby lobby, Joanne Fabrics, and Adult Education.

Last night I did my very first ZOOM virtual paint night as a test and I have to say, I've missed the live interaction with all of my students. This was so much FUN!!

I'm now thinking that during the Winter I'll be doing some private paint parties. I'll be posting more information about the LIVE events on my Instagram page.

I'll have to try it a few times more I'm sure to really get the hang of it. Not sure why it's taking me so long to give this a go. These ladies really enjoyed it, and it gave us all the one on one connection even though we are miles and miles apart.

Also wanted to share that my new BEE CREATIVE ALCOHOL INK Course is up and running now on my website and I hope to add it here to Udemy next month. Here's a peek at it.

This will be one of my longest courses so far with over 20 lectures and 2 hours of video content. You know that my courses don't have a lot of FLUFF, because I edit out most of that "WAIT TIME" for you.

There is a FREE tutorial on my youtube channel from the class, so you can try out this little coneflower using some alcohol ink techniques like stippling and lifting.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

Have a creative day,

OXOX

Day 25 of 30 in 30 Challenge "Easy to Spot" Cardinal

Click Here To Purchase

Guess what....using some of my new ink colors today, very exciting! This Cardinal was painted with Raisin, purple twilight, and Meadow Green. Funny, when I first started with the inks I really had a hard time manipulating them but after some practice and "sticking with it", it's become very rewarding.

More Alcohol Inks available at Kellie Lynn Art Etsy Store.

SOLD! ACEO - Artist Trading Card or ATC "Red Cardinal"

Day 6 - "PROUD"

Thought I would change this up at bit! I've decided that my "STYLE" is Change. I am always switching things up with my art. I really enjoy the detailed paintings, but I find my self getting burnt out or creatively stressed after completing a major detailed painting. It's not a bad thing really, but I just find that I need to work on something less "EXACT". So the ink paintings have been a great change of pace for me.

Six days in I was ready to detail again...but didn't want to commit to a big detailed painting. I've been meaning to do some ACEO's so it' the perfect time during this 30 day challenge! These are small 2.5 x 3.5 Trading card size.

ACEO's are miniature pieces of art!  All of them are the exact size and can be traded or swapped.  They can be any media, but need to fit a standard trading card sleeve.

I found a package of 10 cold press watercolor paper by Strathmore at my local Craft Mania store.
Getting ready to have more fun with these! Going to try to keep them simple, we'll see how I do.....keeping things to a minimum.

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!

VIDEO "Birds Eye" - Watercolor Demo Speed Painting

Hopefully you will enjoy this new video. I painted a cardinal last week and a few of you were wondering how you can bring the eye to life. It's really all about the reflections.

This video is a speed demo with music, but I am planning on putting together more instructional video's with voice so that I can walk you step by step through the process if you wanted to follow along.

More coming soon, so make sure to sign up for my newsletter!

"THE CARDINAL" - SOLD

SOLD

  5x7 Watercolor/Gouache on 140 Arches Cold Press

Daily Painting #42

Always playing with paints and styles even after 20 years...guess it never gets old with me. This is a looser style painting. I lightly sketched in the Cardinal and used a very wet on wet technique on the outside of the bird first.

This kind of painting is very fun for me....love freedom and lack of restriction it gives me. I'm free to explore and play...just like a kid.

Once the background was done I started some detailing on the bird. Here comes my problem...I like details and find it hard to just leave it alone...think you may of heard me say this before if you have been reading my blog for a little while now.

A big thank you to a fellow artist Karl from Watercolor Journal. We chatted a bit on facebook yesterday and I just love his style.....he encouraged me to give it a try!


Happy Painting

Day 3/30 "FRIENDS" Red Cardinal Birds - SOLD

"FRIENDS" 

 5x7" Watercolor/Gouache

SOLD

Day 3 of the 30 day painting challenge!

I knew today's painting would be quick because after being stuck sick in the house for what seems like forever....I had a ton of errands to run!

So this morning while I was sipping my hazelnut coffee and checking facebook on my new Christmas present (google nexus) I was thinking about what today's painting would be. Lucky for me, while looking up to glance out the window, my eyes wondered to the little tree in the corner of the yard. They were so still, but you could see the magnificent tones of bright red.  Love it when my little red cardinal friends stop by on a cold winter day in Maine. Thanks for sticking around to let me paint you today!
