Mixed Media Color Studio
a new book by Kellee Wynne Conrad
You guys! I’m so excited to be a guest artist in my friend Kellee’s first book! It’s all about color, so of course it is sooo yummy! And it’s also about mixed media which, to me, makes it stand out from all the other color books: this one is jam-packed with gorgeous projects, exciting techniques, light-bulb tips and inspiring guests (including yours truly!)
Have you ever felt a little scared of color theory? Or maybe you’re still searching for your signature palette? Then this lovely book might be just the spark you need. It’s on preorder now and Kellee has something awesome planned for preorder buyers (more on that below!)
Discover innovative painting and mixed-media art techniques the most inspired way possible: through rainbows of color!
Mixed Media Color Studio is packed with:
color and design ideas that will boost your creative intuition
color explorations designed to strengthen your skills and confidence
easy techniques that add texture, details, and interest to your artwork.
imaginative projects with expert information on how to work with colors to evoke moods, emotions, and energy for dynamic landscapes, calming seascapes, vibrant abstract florals, layered architectural pieces, and much more.
your colors, your art!
Below is a little peek at Kellee’s art and the kinds of projects you will find in the book. I love that there’s a dedicated chapter for each main color, with a full-blown painting project and plenty of tips. Kellee is passionate about color but above all, she’s passionate about helping you make more of YOUR art. We’re both on the same page here, and that’s what I love most about her book. It’s truly a wonderful resource.
join the color brigade!
Kellee has a true gift for creating exciting and super inspiring online events, and today you’re invited to join her Color Brigade! You’ll get exclusive access to her Launch Party with behind the scenes on making the book, first look at the original artwork, and live painting demos based off the book! Plus more gifts and fun surprises.
To join the Color Brigade and get on the party’s guest list, simply preorder Kellee’s book, then screen capture the order and send it to Kellee at studio@kelleewynnestudios.com.
It’s going to be a fun and colorful event!
Let me make a confession here: I love color and color mixing, it’s completely magical to me. But… I’m not big on color theory (or anything with the word “theory” in it, for that matter). I like to keep it simple and intuitive. But I love Kellee’s book! It’s definitely speaking my language as a mixed media artist. It’s fun, inspiring and at the same time it’s clear, practical and super useful. I will definitely recommend it to my students from now on.
I also love that Kellee shows you how to recreate the whole rainbow (and more) from just the three primary colors and white. You might already know the theory, but she makes it so fun and playful that you will actually want to do it. Like I always say, practice is key! Plus if you’re on a budget, or have limited storage space, color mixing is a no-brainer.
“The more you play, the more possibilities for creativity will open up to you. Be curious. Create for the experience first. You can’t skip the practice, the process, and the patience to grow and become.”
The short quote above is from the intro of the book, and I couldn’t agree more. I’m so proud of Kellee for making her dream of publishing a book come true. She’s a wonderful teacher and I hope you will love Mixed Media Color Studio!
