Jack-O-carving

Carved pumpkins for the first time in years. I took the task pretty seriously and did a few pages of thumbnails before getting a design I was happy with. My boyfriend also carved a really cute pumpkin. Enjoy. Ice King (left) by Me. Bat (right) by BF.

Landscape Study

Hey y'all!

It's been a while. Fortunately I haven't been updating out of busyness and not laziness haha Paint Nite has been amazing. My events are going well and I'm having so much fun. 

I've also been doing more painting than I have in years. I went on vacation in August and painted this landscape based on the lake we were staying on. This one dock had a bright beacon that they left on at night. It was dreamy. 

I call it the Wishing Lake. Enjoy. 

Figure Study: Barrier

I like doing gestural figure studies because when you are loose you allow yourself to naturally learn proportions. I learned this from one of the best figure artists I know, David Bondar. The following study is in acrylic. It's called Barrier. Enjoy. 

Fat Animals

When I'm working at Paint Nite, I'm not always the teacher. Another important part of an event running smoothly is the assistant. I've been an assistant quite a few times now and I enjoy it just as much as teaching. It's a great way to connect with guests at a one on one level. And I get to take a ton of fun pictures! 

If I'm working at an event that is pretty low maintenance, I usually have time to paint a little something in the down time. 

For some reason, both times I've done this so much, I've painted fat animals. Enjoy. 

Archive Post: Bat Painting

I found this little guy in my emails! It's a painting I made for a close friend of mine for a wedding gift. Really happy with the colors in the bat on this one. He just looks so sweet and innocent. Enjoy. 

Upcoming Paint Nite events!

Future Paint Niters,

I have a few more events added to my roster for August and September. Grab a group of friends, pick an event and come paint and party. You can come a few hours early and grab dinner before hand or get apps while painting. Paint Nite is perfect for birthday parties, bachelorette parties and much more! Below is the link to all my scheduled events. 

And don't forget, coupon code: "Kerri" saves you $20 off your tickets! Don't have to use groupon or livingsocial to get a deal ;)

MTG Alter- Mountain

For someone who doesn't play this card game, I sure do a lot of alters on these cards. It's a fun activity to hone some of my detail painting and color matching skills. I also usually do them as a gift to someone. Two birds, one stone :) This one I just extended the illustration past the borders. Enjoy.
