When I get an idea I get a little obsessed. And as much as I love straight up painting on canvas, my ephemera collecting heart just loves mixed media and all the possibilities of found objects. Currently... Vintage matchboxes. I have ideas of tiny little works of art! Also not shown: 100 year old postcards from France (well anything from France really! ♥️), handwritten love letters, ledgers, stamps, maps, botanical books, game pieces and anything else that I can discover tucked away in some junk shop, flea market or Etsy store. What are you currently collecting? Tell me please!!
Studio scenes on this lovely Friday! Since I'm still digging florals late this season.... Anyone else interested in a complete ecourse on painting flowers in my wild and colorful way? I think that my True Colors program is a great motivator to discover your voice and learn new techniques and supplies in s weekly basis but there just isn't enough time to dig really deep into everything I'd love to teach... So why not make a separate course for those of you who just want to learn how to paint the garden!? Yay? Nay? Maybe later? 😜😁😘
I'm beginning to think I need a new nickname... Maybe "The Color Alchemist". The magic of mixing colors is exciting everytime I do it. I would have never thought a year ago that I would come to understand color mixing like I do now, but like everything, it takes practice and time... And I've only just begun! I know the artists who have taken my course online or in-person have had their eyes opened to the magic of color. And the magic of learning to "Just have fun with it!" Maybe it's time for you to see for yourself why the True Colors online monthly art program is already so successful in just it's second month! You get all the lessons no matter when you sign up and a new video every Friday... That's today! Link in profile or www.kelleewynnestudios.com/truecolors
I'm the kinda girl who likes to do all the things, all at once, until I'm completely overwhelmed and have to rethink my schedule in order to be realistic! If I could figure out how to time bend or convince my boys to help with my projects, I'd get so much more accomplished. But both of those things are near impossible, so for now I'm going to just check one thing off at a time and keep moving forward, just at a reasonable pace. 😄
Normally by this time of year I've moved on from flowers, but I'm still in a floral mood. The thing about flowers is that they are a vehicle of expression for me, and though I love flowers, painting them is more about a shape to deliver color, marks, design.... All my crazy ideas revealed through the natural wonder if a humble for. So, I'm sticking with it for a little longer before landscape takes over again....

Emergency brush bath! Just a drop off Citrasolve and some of the layers of dried out paint come off my brushes. But beware, only the strongest of brushes can handle this cleaning treatment. I'm rough on my brushes so I invest in @princetonbrush Catalyst polytip brushes because they last forever and I love the slightly stiffer, springy bristles. #artsupplies #paintbrush #studioscenes
Yesterday I taught an in-person workshops @queensink called Technique Tsunami and it was, without a doubt, a tidal wave of techniques and information. We had a blast, from mixing up colors to getting crazy with the spray paint. But as much fun as it was I think everyone went home totally wiped out -in a good way, like having a whole day at the beach. I guess that's what happens when you name a class after a major natural storm! More classes this summer, take a look at the lineup in my bio link. ♥️
"Do you think about selling or exhibiting when you create?" I had to think about this question a bit when answering it during our Live Call for True Colors members yesterday. I use to, a lot. I use to think about what was popular or trendy or what a gallery might want before I could even get my paint out. And it wasn't very rewarding because it oftentimes inhibited my growth and especially invaded my pleasure in painting. I'm not perfect and sometimes I still think about my audience when I paint.... But I mostly choose to create for myself now and see what evolves before I think about putting a collection together to sell or show. For example, this bouquet series has been evolving from one experimental piece I did months ago and I just keep playing with it to see what might happen next. Now a little collection is growing and I might even have a bunch of paintings to put together soon. But, I didn't think about the "sale" while I made these, I just thought about the process and it was so much more fun to approach my artwork this way.
