The Color Red: January Challenge Color

The Color Red:  January Challenge Color

We are Kicking off January's video with a quick chat about my favorite color red and we'll be doing a short tulip tutorial with watercolors.

The color red, what does it mean to you?

Today we are looking at one of my favorite reds, cad red! I love the color red but strangely I don't use it that often and it's usually painting flowers. Red is such a bold and powerful color. It means LOVE, Power, emotion, grabs attention, courage, and Strength.

Red has so many shades, think about our fall leaves, lipstick shades, sunset colors, and holiday reds. And since red is a primary color you need it to create some many other colors and values.

I love the winsor newton cotman kit and the tube paints with red, but I find that the pan paints work very well to help new watercolor students learn how water is your friend. Little water will make a lighter shade and less water will give you a stronger pigment color.

I'll be using a squirrel hair brush and tube paints in my tulip tutorial on youtube this week.

Join us in our new Facebook Group: Art Exploration with Jessica, Lisa and Kellie. We will have a monthly color challenge every month in 2020!

Art Vacation Week with Mom

My Cutie Patootie Mom painting the flowers!

Mother/Daughter time never gets old.

I told my Dad I was kidnapping her.....

I had the best vacation week ever with my Mom last week.

The first day we went to the Maine State Music Theatre  and I got to see my very ALL TIME FAVORITE movie

as a play...what would that be? "The Wizard Of OZ" of course. 

Our week was all playtime and sunsets!

Swimming, kayaking,  lunch out everyday, and even had cheesecake for breakfast!

The biggest part of the week was spent painting and creating and here's what we did. 

Day 1 - Brought out the alcohol inks and she painted a gorgeous hummingbird in Masterpieces Hard Core Art  panels.

Day 2 - Painted on Silk Scarves. Now neither one of us had done this before, so it was experiment time for us both. Fun trying different options like Jacquard Dynaflow paints, Alcohol Inks, and even Brusho. Super fun results. I am planning to experiment more and do a class in the future. 

Day 3- We got my Resin out and I made some Maine Lobster Jewelry from the shells.

Day 4  She painted this lovely bouquet that my wonderful neighbor gave us along with some
           fresh garden cucumbers and tomatoes! ( I know right, lucky!!) 

Day 5 - I filmed her painting one of her photographs from Acadia Maine over at the Bluff House Inn.
           (We get a really good deal since my Brother and his wife are the Inns owners!) 

Now that my vacation is over I'm back to working on my Online courses and just finished up August in time!

I'm super excited.......What's it about you ask? 

Shimmer colors!!! 

Ok, so how many of you are seeing all of these gorgeous alcohol inks with shimmer or sparkles? If you have been following me you know that I am a debt free simple living artist and although I don't mind spending money on things I really love, I do like to repurpose things that I already have to save.

Shimmer inks - you know you want to try them!
I'll show you how you can easily create your own shimmer colors in a number of mediums that you probably already have hanging around. We will practice, play and explore a few options and we will finish up this beautiful shell project at the end. 

I've also added 2 more PFD's that you can print off to create some more shells. 

Want to learn more about the Collage on wooden birch panels check out my Artist friend  Jane Monteith's Online Courses! You may also like to see our fun resin Youtube Collab. 

Thankful to have you here!
