Watercolor Earrings (LIVE)

What a fun project I finished up today.

You can watch the entire Free tutorial on youtube where I have all the links available for you!

I started out with some 140lb cotton watercolor paper and created my leaf shape. I tried a few different brushes a few weeks ago to see which one created an easy leaf. I also have a youtube video on this if you want to make easy leaf shapes. 

Cut out the shape using scissors and add some black pen and gold pen details for a little bling.

Next UV resin on both sides, it took about 4 minutes on each side to cure. 

Once the uv resin was dry use a Dremel tool to create a small hole near the top for the jump ring to hang and added a small earring.

These are available on Etsy! 

Art Exploration Color of the Month Light Blue

 

Can you believe it's going to be MARCH in just a few days?
I did end up starting some more seeds indoor, and even picked up some poppy seeds to try again (orange ones)! 

Watch the Art Exploration Video

This month in our Private Facebook Group it's all about the color Light Blue. I've just added a new youtube video that is going to be published on Friday and I thought you may like to have the image to print out and follow along. We will be painting this fun little blue gem in watercolors. You can grab the FREE PDF below to print out and follow along with me. If you already subscribe to my emails the link was sent out yesterday. 

Getting the straight lines free hand was nearly impossible, so if you haven't used a ruler in years and are drawing your free hand....dig it out! 

Get the Printable Gem PDF

We'll talk about the different blues that come in my winsor and newton artist paint palette, and I"ll show you what the colors look like. I absolutely love blues, and found that I think I need more of them. I love using my half pans and it's really great to learn your water/paint ratio using these especially as a beginner watercolorist. If you are doing larger areas, however try the tube paints, you'll be able to mix up a lot more of your pigment. 

  

So grab your paints.....This is your friendly reminder from one creative to another - take time for yourself and paint if only for 15 minutes today.  
Hope to see you there!
 

XOXO,

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,

Alcohol Ink Tips and Tricks on tile with Kellie Chasse

Hi Everyone, it's Tuesday so that means I have another  #tuesdayvideo over on my youtube channel.

This one is an easy demo and my dog Primm gets to make her cameo appearance!

Check out this easy tile project with Alcohol ink, you can wipe it off and start over on again on tiles so I find them a great way to practice dry time with Alcohol Inks. We'll create some little leaves and dots using Ranger Alcohol Ink along with the Blending Solution. Blending solution will help the inks stay wet longer.

This is a Wet in Wet Quick and fun practice tutorial and technique on how to create with Alcohol Ink.

I mentioned in the video my new Birch Tree Skillshare Course is now LIVE.

Don't forget the Alcohol Ink Art Conference May 5th, find out more details!

How to Create an Alcohol Ink Abstract FX Casting Resin | Countertop Epoxy

Learn to how to Create a super Cool abstract painting using FX casting Resin by Counter Top Epoxy with Kellie Chasse!

Big thanks to Counter Top Epoxy for sending me all these goodies including all of these yummy metallic powder colors! Since I have never used this brand I was really excited to try it out and see how it works compared to other resins I've used in some Alcohol Ink projects. 

So this TUESDAYS VIDEO you can watch my entire creation process of this painting on glass. I started out by taping up the edges of the glass with blue painters tape.  If you try this make sure to tape the underneath of the painting so that the drips will not attach to the underside. This pour was going to be a bit thicker, (1/8" on top of the glass). According to them you can actually go up to 1" pour with this brand. That was very impressive, since other brands recommend up to a 1/8". I think next time I'll try using the Aluminum tape and build up the wall higher on some plexiglass...stay tuned for that one!

Once the sides got taped, I mixed my resin per instructions. Then the fun began! It was great trying almost every material I could. I wanted to see how they each reacted with the resin. I have to say that I was very impressed with FX Casting Resin. The only downfall was having to mix it for another 4 minutes in another container. Other than that it's super hard, shiny, and gorgeous!

Alcohol Ink and Resin Jewelry - Violet Flower Bracelet

I had a request for a commission pair of earrings from a client. This was a gift and the person loves flowers, especially anything purple, and they really wanted a violet or pansy.
I video taped most of my process not on the earrings but on the single bracelet. You can watch it on my Youtube Channel. I'll be posting a link to the video below.

 

I am always up for the challenge and once I got started it was fun to expand on the original plan.

It took a few tries to get the shape down with the resin and get a feel for how the inks would move with and without heat. I worked with Snow Cap Alcohol Ink to start for the base. It's a mixative and I added it to the Clear Art Resin to tint it.

I found these lovely little Adjustable Bracelets online and they had just arrived, so I made a few of these. I'll be posting a few more as the first 2 batches have sold. You will be able to find them in my etsy shop soon. 

I also found these cute little charms that I'm thinking on adding to my next batch of bracelet!
They have all kind of little options. This pack of 100 had butterflies, lots of sea themed charms like mermaids, shells, suns, elephants, owls, keys and more.




















I also wanted to share the great little starter Jewelry Kit that has a lot of what I needed to start making simple jewelry pieces.

Resin on Liquid Art Panel by Pebeo

I wanted to share with you my newest contemporary piece, unfortunately didn't get to video tape this one, but maybe next time. I'm getting more brave with my resin and slowly working up to a larger canvas, but I decided to try an abstract resin piece on Liquid Art Panel made by Pebeo. I"ll post a referral link down below for you. 

What is a Liquid Art Panel? Basically it's a panel that has a lip or a border around it to keep in liquids such as Resin, Liquid Acrylics, or encaustic waxes from pouring out over the edges. This one has a 3/4" wooden boarder that can be painted or stained to match your art. They come in many sizes, this one is an 18x24".

I find them fairly easy to use, but you do need to be careful that your resin or paints (what-ever medium you choose) doesn't over fill the lip or you will have a mess running down the sides. I have used blue painters tape in the past but it was hard to get it over the front lip perfectly, so I found that babysitting it by adding the resin slowly was easier for me than dealing with the tape. 

Finished Piece: Youtube Video link 

I have used these a few times in the past. Below is a Silvery Moon painting of a tree, it is a smaller panel - 11x14". I would recommend that you start small and work out the kinks before trying a larger panel.

"Silvery Moon" SOLD

The big difference between these two paintings - "Silvery Moon" was painted with Alcohol Inks prior to adding a clear coat of resin, and the larger piece was completed using tinted resin. I do have an Lifetime Beginner Online Resin Course "Zen Disk" (50% Off Sale price Link) on creating an art piece on Aluminum disk, but you always try it on a canvas or one of these liquid panels. 

The Finished Piece, is hanging at the Footlights Theatre in Falmouth Maine.  It will be displayed there with a number of other Alcohol Ink, Resin, and Oils. 

The show "Water Reflections" will be hanging over the Summer Months.

Here is the (Referral Link)  Pebeo Liquid Art Panel They come in many sizes. 

and the Resin Brand I used in the Painting.
