Artist Chat with Kimberly Deene Langlois this week!

Artist Chat with Kimberly Deene Langlois this week! 

If you are an alcohol Ink lover, then you have probably seen some of these gorgeous flower blooms out there on social media. Instagram and facebook are full of them.  Today I was lucky enough to chat with one of the Founders of these alcohol ink flower designs, Kimberly Deene Langlois. 

Kimberly shares how she got started with alcohol inks and explains a little how she gets those gorgeous detailed centers in her flowers (her signature). 

She uses mostly canned air to create these blooms on canvas and she's create some pretty large scaled pieces using alcohol inks.  Stop over and say hello and make sure to let her know you popped over to from my channel. If you are interested in seeing more details and how she creates these amazing flowers, she shares her techniques in her full online course Alcohol Ink Blooms.

You can watch the entire interview chat on youtube HERE! 

Happy Creating,

How to Paint A Watercolor Pansy Flower

In this weeks Youtube Demo video I wanted to see if I could paint the same painting first using Watercolor then Alcohol Inks. This week I started with the Watercolor Demo and next Tuesday will be the Alcohol ink Version...so stayed tuned.

I'll have a link for you to grab the sketch print if you want to give it a go!

If you are already a subscriber - check your email, I sent out the PDF to you all yesterday. (Smiles)

First we will start out using just a light wash for the project and then we gradually add the darker values and details at the end. One of the biggest mistakes I see students make is to try to get the details in too soon. So take your time, block in your colors and paint along with me. You can watch the full tutorial on my youtube channel (link below).

If you do one yourself I would love to see it and  I may share on my social page as a featured art piece. So make sure to tag me on instagram or facebook @KellieChasse_FineArt!

Free Demo on Youtube - Acrylic Painting Busy Bee

Here's a painting I recently did for a fundraiser. Since I don't have an acrylic course set up online yet I was curious if there was some interest out there for some? 

I would love to have you follow along and paint with me. I've added some text for you to follow along, and some music, but feel free to turn it off or down if you feel it distracts you. Some parts have been sped up as not to bore you with repetitive strokes, but I think you'll get the idea! 

FREE Demo (Link Below - oh and Don't forget to click the SUBSCRIBE button)!  

I'll cover all the materials in the video and I've added a Material List with links for you below. Remember feel free to choose your own color pallet, and if you have other acrylic paints, brushes, or smaller canvas those will work. 


Creating the petals to the flowers is easier than you may think. You can see that my base is painted in with purples but when I add the white see how the brush strokes change down in the front going horizontal instead of vertical. That will give the appearance of your petals turning upwards. 

Here is what you'll need to get started.

Busy Bee Acrylic Painting Materials:

• 16x20" Primed Stretched Canvas

• Brushes - Large Flat 1" and Small Flat 1/4" plus a small round size 3 detail brush with a point.
• Acrylic Paints - Colors Purple, White, Black, and Yellow.
• Easel - optional (I worked with a flat canvas).
• Mixing Tray or  paper plate for paints
• 1 container for water to clean brushes
• Paper Towels
• Gloves
• Apron

Look who made an appearance finally! Happy dance! It's really sad to think that I've been tossing these out for years each time after they bloom. Then a friend told me a little secret that I'll share....once the old flowers drop and the stem has dried up, cut it off from the bottom and a new shoot will start!!! Never again will I toss my Orchid!!

This is my original Photograph that I took as Grace was beginning to open again. She now has 4 open full blooms.

"Heavenly" Monarch Butterfly 30 in 30 Day 19

"Heavenly" Monarch Butterfly

4x6" Original Watercolor 

$85 
Mat/Frame not included

It's my son's birthday today - he is a big twelve years old! I'm not really sure where the time has gone, but it certainly moves fast. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful kid, he's smart, adorable, and has a kind heart. 

The Monarch Butterfly is very symbolic to our family and I've been waiting to paint this one, and I think it's one of my favorites during the 30 day challenge so far.  Love the light and airy feel the blue gives, it makes me think of Heaven.

My husband and I do it all the time. He'll leave for work in the morning and I'll find myself humming Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on. In my head "LARRY" ugh!!! You did it to me again!

So hope you don't it get stuck "If you like it then you otta put a ring on it"...today. :) Yeah...Sorry.

"Make A Wish" 30 in 30 Day 10 - by Kellie Chasse

Sometimes little pictures will catch your eyes while zombie -ing  along on facebook in a daze!

This one stopped me mid-scroll, and I had to ask if I could paint it! 

I have a handy dandy little folder on my computer that I've labeled "INSPIRATIONS" that I tuck all my favorite photos in and they stay there until the inspiration hits me.

"Make A Wish" Framed Original
 (8x10 frame)

A client of mine who follows me on my Kellie Lynn Art Facebook page posted this adorable picture of someone holding a dandelion flower, and it just spoke LOVE, LIFE, and HAPPINESS to me! 

 So make a Wish and be Happy!

Special thanks to Brooke for letting me paint it!

Tulip Whispers - Choosing Mat Colors

 

Black Matting

 

White Matting

I have the hardest time choosing Mat colors and frames for my work. Guess it's such a personal thing. I know that a lot of artist will let the client pick..good idea huh! I decided to post both for you to look at.

Funny when I posted my newest painting of  "Tulip Whispers" on Daily Paint Works I noticed a number of Tulip painting on there for today....guess we artists are in a similar SPRING mood today.

Right Brain - Use your imagination in this fun watercolor style!

$60.00 + Shipping

Today's Daily Painting #44 (Year To Date 2013) was fun and unexpected. I was excited to video tape the progress and hope to put the video up once I get the editing done on it.
 
My first step was to use clear plastic wrap to create a fun and interesting design and then go from there.

It's never been a challenge for my brain to see something in the color patterns. You have to use your imagination or your right brain for this exercise. Look for a pattern in the colors. It may be difficult at first, but with practice you can get the hang of it.

I remember as a kid sitting down just starring at the wood panels on a wall.....if you looked at the knots in the pine you could see all kinds of interesting little things....eyes...creatures, fairy's....my imagination would go wild.

So try it out and use your favorite colors and see what you get. If you can't see anything...show a little one...they are really good at spotting things! Then start to paint them in.

Maine Lupines - New PartyPainter Hostess Scene

I just posted these three Maine Lupine watercolor paintings as new scene choices for my business called PartyPainter!

Although I 'm an artist it still amazes me how much the differences in color really make! I was thinking these flowers would be beautiful all hanging framed above my bed.

Don't forget to check out our other scene choices on the PartyPainter Facebook Fan Page - we would love more fans!

Snowing still and I'm painting "Purity" - A White Iris

 "PURITY"

White Iris

8x10 Watercolor/Gouache

These beautiful flowers must be blooming somewhere right now...but it's not in Maine that's for sure! It's snowing....still, surprise surprise...NEMO hasn't really began to rev up yet and it looks like most of the heavier snow will hit sometime tonight and into tomorrow morning - like 3" an hour! 


I've been watching the snow this afternoon out my window and been doing a little light painting. Got a late start today so decided to keep it simple.

Thanks for stopping by ~ Stay safe and warm!
