On-The-Go Painting

Painting en plein air is a term that describes the act of painting outdoors. In French, "en plein air" means, "outside". I've found that sitting on the porch under the cool shade of our maple tree is one of the most relaxing places to sit for a half hour and do a mini painting. If you've bought one of my mini painting kits from Etsy and haven't opened it up yet, now is the time! In this tutorial, I'll explain the best way to set up your mini painting kit peindre en plein air (to paint outside) (yes, I speak *some* French). With this set up, you can paint practically anywhere. I've painted on road trips and on the plane. It's also pretty mess-free, so it's a really great activity for kids to do at home or on the go. There are a few things you'll need to create the perfect, portable painting set-up: (I couldn't think of another p) I will be adding as many Amazon links as I can find, but you'll probably have most of these thin...

Paint an ocean with me- A video tutorial

Good morning, friends! I found a video I recorded about two months ago of me painting one of my original mini paintings- the ocean! I thought it might be helpful if you or a kiddo wants to paint along with instruction while we’re all still stuck at home. It can be a mini painting class for an afternoon! Supplies: - The ‘Ocean’ mini painting kit (or you can use your own gouache or watercolor), - Size 6 round brush (I used Royal & Langnickle’s “Menta” synthetic watercolor brush), - Size 2 round brush (I used Master’s Touch’s golden taklon ), - Water, - An old plate as a mixing palette, - The back of a whiteboard to hold down my paper, - Paper towels - And a bit of washi tape. You really only need the water, the towel, the kit and ONE good watercolor brush. If you need one for your painting kit, I would recommend going to your local craft store and picking out one (open stock) round brush in a size 4 or 6. These are often much higher quality than the brushes you can...

How I Pack Etsy Orders- Ideas & Tips

You Etsy product is only half of what your customers are getting. The experience of receiving that package is the other! I'm by no means an expert, but over the past few months I've been figuring out the most cost-effective and creative ways to send out my orders. I hope this blogpost will help you get ideas for how to mail your Etsy products too. I think that one of the most overlooked methods of mailing items through the worldwide postal system is by simply sending your items as "letters". I would always recommend spending a little bit more than the US standard $.55 stamp so that your items will be handled gentler and will be more likely to arrive undamaged to your customer. Of course, your ability to take advantage of this method depends completely on your product's size and weight. Each of my painting kits weigh about 1/4 oz, and are as thin as a card. This being said, I can fit up to four in a regular envelope. This is way more cost-effective than ...
