A warm "Hello" to new subscribers... and "Welcome Back" to everyone else!
Kelly Creates School is Now Open!
|
|
|
I finally did it...I launched my own online school! Right now I only have one course "Beginner Brush Lettering" and I am so excited about it! I plan to add more courses in the upcoming months.
|
|
|
|
All you need is a brush pen! While I was developing this course, I knew I wanted to make it affordable but thorough. The content is the same as my in-person workshops with some special 'extra' worksheets that I designed just for this class.
|
|
|
I hope that you will enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed planning it. I can't wait to develop my next online workshop: Capital Letters!

It's been a busy few weeks! I've been doing lots of tutorials for Mother's Day cards and florals on Facebook and Instagram LIVEs. I also have this simple watercolor tulip tutorial on the Creative Scrapbook magazine blog. Click HERE to check it out.
|
|
|
I've been playing with my new watercolor inks and pencils and sharing these easy techniques and illustrations on my Kelly Creates Studio Facebook page. If you miss a LIVE tutorial, don't worry! They are there permanently for replay.

The process video for my May bullet journal cover pages is up on YouTube, along with other new lettering tutorials, too.

I had lots of fun on HSN.com last week ...filming LIVE from my home studio. That was interesting...haha! Finn was in the basement so we wouldn't have any barking or mishaps. Click HERE to see my watercolour lettering line at HSN.com (USA only).

I have decided to keep my Boot Camp Facebook group open permanently for the time being. You can join and participate in whichever class you like. The Mother's Day Flowers was a big success! My next FREE Facebook Class is "Bouncy Brush Lettering that starts on May 21. Click HERE to register and join the fun!

The Adventures of Finn --- Finn is enjoying the green grass coming up, and our weather is finally warmer. Finn also helped me do a LIVE lettering tutorial for a craft store in Sicily!

I've finally added a "Store Locator" to my website to help you find where my products are sold all over the world. Right now my watercolor line is available in the USA at HSN.comand internationally from Scrapbook.com.

Did you know my book The Art of Brush Lettering has been translated into 5 languages? If you can't attend a workshop, then reading my instructional book is the next best thing. It is a very detailed guide with a TON of stroke by stroke photos and directions. Plus, you get both large brush pen and small brush pen sample tracing guides for lowercase AND uppercase letters.Click HERE to buy my book in my online shop www.kellycreatesstore.com
