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

Dragonfly Alcohol Ink Tile - Painting Events in Maine

Here is a new demo tile that we'll be painting at some of my new Alcohol Ink Classes! Don't forget to head over to the Event section of my blog for all the public classes coming up. Tickets can be purchased online. Our next AI Class is at Hobby Lobby in Auburn, Maine. (Birch Trees)

Here's a class we did over the weekend - it's so nice to see the variation of all the different looks and colors.

I always forget to take a picture of the entire group before they leave with their masterpieces, but I seem to always grab a few. Aren't they pretty!

 They are all hard at work here!

Thirty Painting in 30 Days - Day Six

"By The Silvery Moon"

8x10 Resin Art Panel

Medium: Alcohol Ink

$125

 

Taking a picture without the resin glare is a challenge!

Well, I've noticed during my daily frozen trips with the wind "just -a- whippin" (Maine accent) that Hobby Lobby is now out of the Liquid Art panels, OH NO!

They had 2 more on the shelf but they looked as though someone took a baby hammer to the edges. (I brought it to their attention) so hopefully they have a quick turn around on their products. I have my black and blue, no not bruised but ink stain fingers crossed. I told one of the clerks about it the day before and noticed them still sitting on the shelf looking up at me like a sad (never to be) beautiful art piece.

 Resin drying - you get a better idea of the depth of it in this picture.

Of course the crazy coupon lady in me was thinking hey I wonder if I can get this at a discount and fill it with some putty...paint it...(naw) and I snapped out of it..... too much work, must stay focused!

Off to start Day 7 for tomorrow, but my fingers are like little frozen blue raspberry popsicle's (what a visual huh.....remember my blue ink stains?) it's a whop-pin minus 2 degrees.

January 2015 Thirty Day Challenge - Day 1 and 2

Leslie Seata's 30 Day January Challenge is here, and I went back and forth deciding if I was going to do it, can't believe it, but this would be my 5th challenge! My first one was January 2013 and I loved it!

Let me say, it's so much fun to join this challenge but it has a tendency to take over my life and become a bit stressful, yet it gives me much needed discipline. You can see why I have a problem.

So after a bunch of long conversations with myself and leaving it up to the first day of the challenge, I've decided to sign up. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to make a commitment eh? This time it'll be a bit different for me, as I don't plan on posting every day.

Decision made....I headed over to the new Hobby Lobby in Auburn Maine at 2pm to get some supplies, and OMG let me say it was my first time in a Hobby Lobby - um yep, I was a bit overwhelmed! It has only been open since the day after Christmas so you can imagine how packed it was. Head down and my 40% coupon in hand I found the section I was looking for and picked up only 1 small 8x8 clay board to start. Gives me an excuse to go back tomorrow I thought, hoping since it's no longer New Years there will be less of a crowd.

Day one, which was yesterday I painted using alcohol ink and....drum roll.... glitter (craftier version for me I know) on clay-board, it was my first attempt on the clay-board with inks and I wasn't completely happy with the process so on day 2, I decided to pour resin over it. I can say that I'm happier with the piece now. Still have to clean up and sand the edges where the resin got under the taped area.

Let's see what tomorrow brings!! Have to head back to Hobby Lobby now. ;)

Happy Painting all!
