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,

My Mother's Day Gift - Plein Air Easel

Last Mother's Day my hubby purchased an easel for my plein air trips - I love it! I find it easy to set up on site, and it's fairly lightweight but sturdy. Oh and I picked up a clip on umbrella to go with it, I'll post the links for you below. 

I started off setting it up in my backyard to test the whole thing out and surprisingly it went very smoothly! The little clip was helpful for keeping the canvas in place, but I did have to touch up the area when I was finished. 

Now I use it all the time on location, here's a photo of me at Simpson Point out in Brunswick Maine with my Mother last fall.  I'm excited because it's just about time we headed back out again as the weather is going to be in the 70's this week, can't wait! 

I even use the easel for my Acrylic Paint Night events.  They have another one for Watercolor with a little kit to change them out from oil to watercolor. I've found that I use my oil one for all of them, and just bring a watercolor pallet and water instead of the oil jar. Easy!

Here are the Referral Links for the Easel and Umbrella Kit, if you want to check them out!

WATERCOLOR COURSE - Simple, Easy and Step by Step!

Have you ever wanted to take up watercolors, but found most classes are too heavy and academic? These classes are similar to a Paint Night but we use watercolors. The classes are Easy, and no basic knowledge of watercolors are needed. You can usually finish your first painting under 2 hours.

This course is simple and easy to follow, plus minimal materials are needed to start painting today. Use any watercolors or brushes you have on hand, but I'll give you my favorite supplies and a PDF list to go by.

The course is broken down into small easy steps and I'll paint along with you. If you have questions as you go along please feel free to send me a private message or ask openly on the discussion board.

Watch it over and over or enjoy a private painting class with your family and friends along with some coffee, tea, or wine.

Once completed, feel free to share your final product with the class in the discussion. I love to see the final work of my students.

Have fun and enjoy!

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day Twenty One

 "Summer Moonlight"

Scene #60 PartyPainter

Still working on a creating a few new painting scenes for the Watercolor Paint Nights, and since folks on facebook seemed to really like the Ominous Moon that was created last fall, it seemed like a good one to try!

For more information about when and where classes will be held you can view it under the events section of the main blog page.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 12

"Harvest Moon"
Alcohol Ink Painting
8x10 Mat - $65

Did any of you see the Harvest Moon the other night? I was teaching a watercolor Paint Night Class at the Sea Dog Brewery in Topsham Maine and the moon was shining directly into the window over looking the river. The reflection was incredible!

For this painting I used Snowcap then added the blue on top to give it that overcast effect.

I'm in the process of hanging my work at Gallery 11

Tonight I'm looking forward to the Art Walk in Brunswick, Maine.
If you are local, stop in at Gallery 11 at Pleasant to view my work and a number of incredible photographers and artists, including my friend Debby Stubbs.
