In this course, Let's Paint Cats - Fun Watercolor Kitties, I will share with you all about using watercolor to create cats!  There will be tons of tips and tricks I've learned after years of kitty painting! 

This is a fun and loose way to approach the subject of cats which combines feline personality and unexpected color use.  The project will help you get a handle on using watercolors so you can apply it to all types of subjects.

There are three full realtime painting projects for you to follow as well as a complete supply list I use during the lessons.

If you love cats and want to paint them, this is the course for you!  So Let's Paint Cats!

New Book Cover!-Terry Runyan Creative

New Book Cover!

I’m so excited to share the cover of my new book, Painting Happiness: Creativity with Watercolors. 

The book will on the shelves in April 2022 and can be pre-ordered now! 

https://www.quartoknows.com/books/9780711270565/Painting-Happiness.html

In this simple and vibrant guide we explore the art of watercolor through the lens of mindfulness, presenting activities and projects which you can paint along with as you allow your creative side to flourish.

This watercolor guide is easy and accessible for beginners or anyone who wants to delve into the basics of the art form, starting with simple techniques which you can follow along with, as well as presenting some fun projects ideas for painters to explore.

Some of the fun projects include: turning blobs into birds; creating wild hairstyles; and experimenting with different prompts to paint at least one thing a day. From technical skills and notes on materials to insight into the creative process, this book has everything you need to start exploring and experimenting with watercolor!

Alongside beautiful examples of the techniques and styles explored in the book, I also encourage readers to practice mindfulness as they paint, and explore the ways art can be used to help improve mental clarity. Exploring the idea of 'perfectly imperfect watercolors', emphasis is placed on self-expression and allowing yourself to play, make mistakes, learn and grow.

Painting Full Parking Lot

After I finished shooting this video I dropped a blob of ink toward the upper left. This invited me to add another bat flying in which led to the title Full Parking Lot.
