Your creative process will never be the same

True Colors will open a floodgate of exciting new methods for creating acrylic, watercolor and mixed media artwork. We will not shy away from bright colors and bold marks. 

Join me as I share all the secrets to my luminous layered method of acrylic painting while at the same time digging deep into the creative process to help you discover your personal artistic style.

Learning how to ask questions as we paint and look for answers in each mark is an important part of finding your own True Colors!

An Overview of techniques that we'll dive into with true colors

From abstract florals to modern landscape, I hope to ignite your passion for color while using the most versatile medium ever created: fluid acrylic paints.

Watch paint drip, run and flow with a spray bottle, rubbing alcohol and high flow mediums.

Play with graphite, charcoal and soft pastel to make your mark. Scrape, scratch, scumble and spray wet paint for altered effects.

Add touches of oil pastel, water soluble crayon and more.

Use multiple stencils and mark making tools all on one painting successfully. Learn how to boldly use collage on your work or subtly hide it in paint to reveal new layers.

And most importantly, learn to mix color like you never have before.

If you love Color Crush Creative and you've found the last year of support and education informative and exciting, then you will LOVE the new monthly program for artists that I have developed. It goes hand in hand with Color Crush Creative and my in-person art workshops that I teach locally and around the US.

Guest Artists

Having a guest artist every month keeps the content fresh and always exciting! On the first of every month you will be introduced to one talented professional artist. An artist who will help inspire you on your art making journey and encourage you to discover your creative intuition through new techniques and thoughtful lessons.

Working hand in hand with me, each guest artist will help develop the theme and focal color that all lessons of the month will be inspired by. The featured guest artist will have prepared a video lesson, written material and provide support in the forum.

We have a lineup of amazing artists for 2018!

Big Concept Painting project

I know that creating step-by-step perfect little paintings will only get you so far when developing your own unique style as an artist, so the idea of teaching a "Big Concept Painting Project" is my answer to helping you learn how to discover your True Colors. From learning secrets from the masters to listening to your muses, there are key steps I will teach you to let go of expectation and learn how to find joy in the process of becoming who you were meant to be as an artist. 

We are all at different stages in this journey as artists, but having a beginner's mindset will open a world of possibility for you as the artist you are capable of being.

Bi-weekly palette lessons

Discovering our creative intuition isn't the only step needed to become a good artist. I believe that learning the principles of color and design and becoming confident in the use of basic tools and techniques will actually free you to make more impactful and satisfying decisions when you create.

Following along with the Color Crush Creative schedule of bi-weekly color palettes, we will continue with color and technique lessons. These lessons will give you a solid foundation for making better art and strengthen your skills as you grow in your own creative style.

Hi, I'm Kellee Wynne Conrad.

Wynne (said win) is my middle name. I'm a redhead, I married a redhead and we have three redhead boys. It's never quiet around here! Art is my outlet and passion in the midst of a wild life. It centers me and brings me peace. I am so fortunate for this gift and I honor it with gratitude in every brushstroke.

A little back story - My childhood was all about running through sculpture gardens and playing in the neighbors' art studios....what was this wonderland? It's undeniable that my upbringing, while somewhat unusual, left me with a strong impression that we can live the life of our dreams through art. That there is magic inherent in living a creative life. My true purpose is to bring that magic back and share it with those who are longing to realize their creative purpose.

While I have had a lot of opportunities to exhibit with local and national galleries, working with emerging artists was what led me to finally fulfill my vision of an art education program. 2017 brought the birth of Color Crush Creative, a thriving, internationally followed online community of color loving artists. It is through this program that I have been able to connect with the hearts and souls of artists around the world, discovering that teaching my love of color and paint is my true calling.

In an effort to make the True Colors Art Program™ as accessible to as many artists as possible, the monthly rate for quality, personal art education is starting at a very affordable price. You'll find that the content you'll get to absorb and enjoy month after month worth the investment!

You'll get full access to all the offered content from the day you sign up and you lock in this current rate indefinitely as long as you retain your membership. You can cancel anytime. Only $26/month.

Annual - $260

We start True Colors off with a whole team of expert artists. Our first month is a special event and will include more art lessons than the regular monthly schedule. Introducing five talented artists who have all been avid supporters of Color Crush Creative. They will be involved throughout the entire year with True Colors.

Erin Mccormick - Ontario

Growing up in a small town in southern Ontario, Canada, I had a love of colour. I tended to collect colourful markers, oil pastels and coloured pencils even though I didn’t use them often. With my father’s influence, I found a love of science and in adulthood I became a forensic scientist.

After experiencing a time of personal loss and sadness I knew I really needed something for myself, something I could concentrate on that would push me to feel human again. It was at this time that my husband suggested painting. I laughed at the thought of wet paint splattered all around the house, but one day I came home from work and he had transformed our spare bedroom into a little art studio. All I had to do was start painting.

Acrylic is my favourite medium but I also love paper collage and pastels.  I find myself drawn to landscapes and abstract work. I'm still learning so much every day - about techniques, colour palettes and using different mediums.  I’m always searching for that “thing” that defines my unique style, but that’s something I’ll likely chase for years and years. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the journey and I’m totally ok with my artist's life being a work-in-progress!

Holly Platt - California

I am a freelance artist living in Southern California. I discovered my love of creativity at a very early age while growing up in Salt Lake City, Utah. I studied art at SLCC and the University of Utah. Now a wife and mother of four, I still find time to feed my creative spirit. I'm drawn to cheerful color and prefer to slightly blur the line between representational and
abstract styles. My focus as of lately has been mainly on florals and landscapes. I exhibit my work in several local galleries, and currently I am represented by SM'Art Studio in La Quinta, Ca.

If I could give one piece of advice to any aspiring artist it would be to not hide their work. Do not be afraid to share it with others. Whether it is a local gallery or on their social media, share it often. The fear goes away with time and then when that big opportunity comes for a solo show,
fear will not hold you back.

Also, have designated paint clothes, and wear them!! Otherwise all
of your clothes will end up being covered in paint.

melissa doty - west Virginia

I have been a rampant doodler for over 40 years now, but it wasn’t until 2016 that I began to draw or paint - most days - with intention. Is it cliché to say that I’ve always dreamed of being an artist? Probably, but that’s my story. Fear of failure held me back. But then: watercolors! I was immediately hooked by their finicky magic and could not put the paintbrush down.

I am self-taught and currently spend each day in my basement studio making up for lost time. The majority of my work is watercolor and acryla gouache, but I want to try it all! At the moment, I am working on bold, graphic style florals and geometric patterns, with the occasional West Virginia landscape for good measure.

I try to create something every day. It connects me to others in ways I could not have foreseen, and I think that has been the best part of (finally) living a creative, genuine life.

I live in Charleston, West Virginia with my husband, Steve, dog, Mollly, cat, Noelle, and the two out of our five kids who still live at home. 
 

Additional Team Members working behind the scenes and contributing in the upcoming months:

Every month you will be introduced to a talented professional artist who will expose you to their creative world full of new ideas and techniques.

Working hand in hand with me, each guest artist will help develop the theme and focal color that all lessons of the month will be inspired by.

The featured guest artist will have prepared a video lesson, written material and provide support in the forum. Check out this exciting line-up for 2018:

june - Taylor LEE

Taylor Lee is a color-obsessed artist with a passion for communicating through acrylic paintings. She is from a small, rural town in North Carolina. Pulling inspiration from Baz Luhrmann, Lisa Frank, and the pulsing crowds of general admission at a pop punk show, she explores concepts like maximalism, mania, and madness. She is most recognized for her bold use of concentrated color that often incorporates free-spirited marks that create dichotomies between the wild and thoughtful, the bold and vulnerable. Taylor is also vocal about her experience with mental illness. She finds ways to bring the reality of a stigmatized mental illness into a celebratory light, creating paintings that are buzzing with energy, movement, and loud colors.

july - Trupti karjinni

A Belgaum, India based watercolorist. Trupti Karjinni believes it was a chance encounter that brought her to watercolor painting. It was like one of those love stories where the guy and the girl have a quick meeting, not knowing that the one encounter will change the entire paths of their lives entirely. Trupti can still remember that day almost two years ago when she painted her first watercolor tree - She knew she was hooked! And so she made art every day. Every. Single. Day. That's how Trupti became an artist. 

august - Wendy Brightbill

I deeply believe that you paint what you need the most in your life. I consider myself a storyteller; only I use color instead of words. I believe you can create the life you want and change your own story. For me that meant painting the color and joy back into my life after a car accident. It took a brain injury for me to pick up a paint brush, and I am so happy that I did. I am ever grateful for what a car accident brought into my life and this crazy beautiful journey I am on. 

How will the Lessons be Delivered?

True Colors will be delivered through an easy to use platform called Teachable. It's simple to navigate, download printables and watch videos. You can keep track of which lessons you've watched and what you might have overlooked by marking a section "complete". This is only an indicator, but by no means will prevent you from coming back to watch or review over and over again as often as you'd like.

Each Month will be named, dated and grouped into its own course section. Each Course will have separate modules for the guest artist and each Friday content lesson, usually that means 5 modules every month!

You will have your own account with password that you have control over. 

Do I need experience with art to start?

True Colors is designed to fit every level of artist. From beginner to the advanced, there is something to learn for everyone. An inspiring community is invaluable to everyone and opening your mind to new ideas, techniques and positive thought processes about your art making is essential to every artist that wants to continue to grow in their craft.

If you haven't had much experience or education in painting or art making, you will gain valuable skills through foundation lessons that include color mixing, design and composition and how to use your materials. If you have been painting for a lifetime, you will find new answers to old questions and maybe discover a few things you didn't know. After all, we are all just beginners everyday we meet the canvas.

How long will I have access to the course material?

As long as Kellee Wynne Studios and True Colors exists and you keep your membership current, you will have access to all the content in the program to watch, read or use over and over again, for as long as you'd like. This means previous months' content, the color intensive course - Color My Life 2018, Seascape Escape and bonus material will continue to be available with your subscription as long as you are a paying member of the program. When you cancel and your membership expires, you will no longer have access to the content.

It is required that you have high speed internet to stream videos for best results. Videos cannot be downloaded but some written material will be available to download and print for personal use only.

*Please note - "Lifetime" means for the duration of Kellee Wynne Studios and True Colors. But believe me, we're in it for the long haul!
