Win prizes and Save money !!
I get asked often what student brands of paint I recommend. I also get asked why I recommend the ones that I do. The one I use in my own Studio is Abstract paint by Sennelier
I want to be clear I'm not paid to use this paint. I do have a relationship with the owners of the Savoir-faire and we are friends. They do send me stuff and asked my opinion. However, I've never been asked to give a review. This is an idea I have wanted to do for a really long time.
This is my Friend Pierre from Savoir Faire.
Sometimes we hang out on Instagram
This event is for you. I want you to understand why I think this is a great product. Why it is worth your time and investment. I want to help you know what's available to you in this large amazing product line. I want you to know what's great about it, I'm even going to tell you some challenges you might have. I'm going to be honest with you because I think that is what helps you the most. Of course you know I wouldn't be making a video about it unless I thought it was worth your time. However there's so many colors and different types of acrylic paint that they make you really want to see what the creative opportunities are. The live stream is at 11 a.m. est. We will be streaming from both YouTube and Facebook, so just pick your favorite. We will be featuring special sales for this event that you can take advantage of that are just for you!!

COUPONS for YOU!!!
Lets Save Money
I'd also like to help you save some money so please check for the amazing coupons from art stores that are participating in the event. They were invited to take part because I honestly believe that you guys having a relationship with art suppliers is so important. Being able to go into a local art store ( when were able to go into a local art store again) creates such a tremendous sense of community. This helps you find art materials you need and discover exciting new ones around every corner, Gives you access to classes, and art opportunities that you wouldn't be able to find from home. Being aware of online retailers can help you find Art Materials when you're unable to travel, give you access to variety of large size stock items like easels or specialty studio equipment. I think both of these things are super important.

Paper
9x12 140lb 300 GSM Watercolor Paper Cold press in a Block pad
What is a watercolor block?
A watercolor block is a pad of watercolor paper that’s bound on all sides with a coating of a rubber like material called padding compound.. You paint on the top sheet of paper and then remove it after it fully dries flat. To separate the painting from the block, insert a dull palette knife into the gap in the binding and run it around all four edges. A watercolor block helps prevent the warping of the paper when it is wet.
If you have a regular pad of paper you can tape all of edges of the sheet to the table with low take tape and then carefully peel them after the sheep its dry.

Common questions
When is it ?
Watercolor is every 3 days 1 pm Eastern Standard Time live streaming from my Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/TheArtSherpa
How do I Join the class ?
Show up 1 pm EST ready to paint - Just watch from my Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/TheArtSherpa/live_videos
You can also find the the class on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmjQYyS4qyf1MuQY8DF2nDA
You can watch the streaming video class from the page on your chosen device!
How much Does it cost ?
Its Free
Is it hard ?
Like everything, it can be a little challenging in the beginning to learn how to do something new. However, watercolor is a very beginner friendly medium and I find people can pick it up as quickly as they did acrylic, sometimes even easier.
Can I use Acrylics ?
You can use acrylics watered down to get some similar effects to watercolor. The paper is a good binder and prevents issues with watering down that you might normally see on canvas. There are a few differences. It's very easy to lift or reactivate watercolor. Once acrylic is dry it's permanent. Watercolor is very transparent and acrylic can be much more opaque. Some techniques are different. You can paint acrylic over watercolor. You can't paint watercolor over acrylic. I don't recommend using acrylic on fine watercolor brushes as it can build up in the ferrule and shorten the life of a brush. Watercolor will not harm acrylic brushes in any way and you can use what you have until you're ready to buy special brushes just for watercolor.
Do I need to have your exact materials?
You can use what you have. If you have Crayola watercolors, start with those. I will talk about how to guess a close approximate color on the palette you have so you can paint along and still get a good result
Can I view your classes at a later time?
You can watch my classes after the video is done streaming both on the Facebook page and on our website www.theartsherpa.com
What level of painter do I need to be ?
All levels of painter are welcome and no drawing is Required

Paintings are all beginner friendly but rated in 3 levels of difficulty called Hoots
What if you Bought our Covid Watercolor Art Kits?
If you purchased one of the watercolor sets that we had in our store during the initial lockdown. you may wonder what colors exchange well for the new 2021 art palette. You may also wonder if there's a difference between the tube watercolor and the half pan watercolor. In this blog I'm going to let you know what colors in your palette to use when I'm using the 2021 colors. I'm going to give you some resources to match the colors you have to the colors I'm using and just in general make your watercolor experience easier.

Painting a Fall tree
#1 Find a Shape that is irregular and interesting to your eye. Remember this shape is three dimensional.
#2 Tree Meditation for Artists
Get comfortable, Close your eyes, and breathe in and out slowly to the count of 4.
To help you “ see” the tree better imagine the tree you are painting on a pedestal that is turning .
Now Add light to the tree from the sun. Feel how warm the sun is. Add a soft breeze.
In your minds picture of your tree as it is turning see the light falling on it and the breeze blowing through it. Can you see its irregular surface. How each leaf is looking for light and rain?
Stop the tree at the view you want to paint it. Keep the light shining on it and the breeze blowing through it. The tree you are painting today is a living breathing thing. Do this for 5 or so minutes until you feel you can see your tree clearly. Once this is done your Artists mind is open and ready to paint.
Open your eyes.
#3 Paint in your deepest fall value for your tree keeping your base tree form. Use the edge of your brush scumbling in the leaves softly. Add your truck and some Bark highlights. Add the deepest value of landscape around the tree.
#4 Add your darker midtones finding those highlights and leaves. The ones you visualized in the shade of other leaves nearer the light. These are the leaves where a small bird may be resting in the heat of the day. Can you see the form? Can you see the shapes?
#5 It’s time to find the next layer now a brighter lighter mid tone! WOW this tree is coming together. With the corner of your brush add little leaf outliers. Remember your tree those leaves twisting in and out of the light? By now you should see dimensions of form coming out of your canvas.
#6 Finally the highlights are lifting up! Bits of highlighted sparkle. Tree glitter. These are the leaves shining in the sun. Yes that is what Shining in the sun means. The diamond effect all around your trees. The glow. Add delicate touches.
#7 Now breath. You have painted a tree. A great Tree! A fun Tree. Keep practicing your artist eye when you are bored or falling asleep. In no time your dreams will be full of comforting branches.

Together we will create an ideal fantasy garden landscape. I will show you how to make a Fantastical Fairytale world that can reflect the hopes and dreams of your personal paradise. We will hide messages and symbolism in our paintings as constant reminders of our hopes and dreams. Our images on the surface will be ideal garden retreats but with a closer look reveal the world beneath the world. Hidden objects, messages and treasure. It will be much more than just a beautiful fantasy painting. It will be a bright colorful energy soul painting. This is a Concept study. I have done 10 concept sketches just for Lifebook 2021 There is also a Free Gift that I made just for Lifebook 2021--- If you love Waterbears you want that gift

Acrylic April This was the first year for Acrylic April. Painting daily is the #1 thing an artist can do to improve their painting! skills! The idea we would meet live every day and paint together for a little under an hour for the month of April certainly caught fire. This is a wild event in that we had both word prompts AND full lessons. As far as I know it this was the first daily painting program targeted at beginners. You can find all the videos in order http://bit.ly/AcrylicApril2019Calendar And here is the website with rules

Lifebook 2020:
LIFEBOOK 2020 I have been busy like a Sherpa getting ready for Lifebook 2020. You might wonder why I keep doing Lifebook? use the code LOVEBOMB2020 for 20% off before December 31 I like doing Life-book because it allows for so much growth and well-being with any students. As a teacher, I'm excited about anything that will help you reach your personal art goals. This is one of the only programs that I will participate in and recommend. I do that because I truly believe it's wonderful on every level. First, I enjoy how positive the program is and how focused on individual grow it is. Secondly, the teachers are the best collected together I have seen if your goals are healing, self-awareness, and artistic growth. Last, but not least, the cost of the course outside of materials is very good compared to other programs like this that I don't feel are as richly thought out, driven by a sheer love of sharing creativity, and well-being. They have a lot of Teachers As you may be aware with 30 teachers and 80 lessons there's a lot here to the course. You will be exposed to so much in different styles and thoughts in art. Each teacher brings something very special to the year. Yes, there are many faces. But that's just the surface of what I've seen. I've seen dream catchers, sculpture, rock art, and much much more. In fact as a teacher, I am a bit of an odd duck in the group BUT, when am I not? This will be the third series that I have done with Tamra Laporte. I love the work that she does both spiritually, musically and artistically. I think she curates valuable programs for her students .

If you Love the Sanderson Sisters and wanted to get your " Amok Amok Amok " on one of these acrylic versions of the Tale Might be Just the trick. (note this is fan art) While the painting is mine The Hocus Pocus Characters that inspired this piece are not.So lets Call these three The Cosplayers of Hocus Pocus -
In the Beginning I created this design
It has been wildly popular. But them I wanted to make some New ideas too this the Meeting of the Halloween Board . The Moon is Cosplaying Jack the Pumpkin King and the 3 sisters are Cosplaying the Sanderson Sisters. All costumes were handmade because you know they are makers.
Need a little help -the video or This Handy Dandy Step by step
How easy is That to paint??
Need something even more simplified ?
It is recommended when doing fan art that you create and paint for learning and enjoyment.
Steam punk is an amazing art style! This painting has a project for how to create the patina for the background. A how to Draw the girl in that was LIVE on fb. We covered her in two awesome body types. BUT due to enthusiasm to create designs that are even more inclusive I went ahead and made her in 3 body types for the traceable. It is important that in a personal creative Process we create work that has a positive reflection of our world. A positive reflection of who we are and the people we love. I would encourage you to take advantage of the Hair and Skin quests as well at the 3 trace-ables so that you can create a painting that feels personal. Paint yourself into your steampunk fantasy.
