Happy Tuesday everyone!! This week’s tip is another kit organization idea to help keep all of your paints tightly organized in your kit!
Tuesday Tips @ 10: Foam Kit Spacers
Tuesday Tips @ 10: Labeling your Paints
Happy Tuesday!!! I took a little hiatus from our Tuesday Tips at Ten there over the holidays…partly because of holiday busy-ness of gigs, hosting family & my son’s 16th birthday & driver’s exam, partly because I ran out of tips (ha!), and partly because our sweet, goofy Great Dane “Wahoo” passed away unexpectedly at just 5 years old, sucking away some of my Christmas spirit and motivation! BUT, I’m happy to say we have adopted a new fur baby (Teddy the Sheepadoodle) just in time for Christmas, all the holiday activities have died down, and I have a couple more tips in the hopper! SO, this week I bring you a tip for labeling your paints! Who doesn’t want to get their kit more organized in the new year?! Next week I’ll continue with another good tip for organizing your paints in your kit, but for now, here’s how I’ve labeled my paints in the past and currently!
Also, in case you missed it, since I’m taking a break from Wet Paint Magazine, I’ve brought back my free monthly e-newsletters! This month’s newsletter on the topic of self confidence as an artist has already gone out, but you can subscribe to future issues or download past issues here!

Tuesday Tips @ 10: Stencil Trick!
Happy Tuesday! Here’s a little trick I used when painting a Christmas sweater on my son a couple days ago for my Christmas cards! I love that he still lets me do this! This year I used a lot of fun stencils to speed up the process, and finished it all in 1 hour and 20 minutes (photo below). Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Step by Step “Zombies Up in Arms!”
This one looks really detailed but stencils make it super quick! First I laid down a base with a sponge and a Tiger cake for a sunset background. Next, I used an Ooh! zombie arm stencil and mini kabuki brush to add the arms! The branches are actually done with a Christmas stencil that we sell. Then, using a round brush loaded with black, I added a little hanging bat in a tree (totally optional), some scraggly looking grass, and used a dry Cameleon blending brush to drag it down and fade into the forehead. The blood splatters I did using just a portion of a BAM 1415 splatter skull stencil, and then topped that off with some liquid bling!
I’m SOOOO upset right now that my most FAVORITE mini kabuki stencil brush has been discontinued by the manufacturer…I am working on sourcing some new ones and hope to have them up on the site SOON! Follow our Facebook page for updates! They are an absolute game changer for me when it comes to stencils…stay tuned on that!
