Chat LIVE with me tonight about my Colors Class

Hey there everyone!

Today is the day to come and chat live with me about my upcoming Building Colors Confidence class at ReneePearson.com on ReneeTV!  You can ask me questions about the class, get a little overview of what I will cover in the class, or just come to chat with me live and in person. :)

LIVE CHAT TODAY SEPT. 12th 9:00 PM EDT at ReneeTV HERE

This class teaches you how to start any art project by choosing your colors correctly.  But, I don't stop there, I also show you how to USE those colors with little clips into my process with the 2 bonus videos (PSE and CS) and also my entire process from scratch how I create a soft artsy background paper.  This class is a must for anyone who want to become or even already is a Digital Designer too!  

So no matter if you are a real life artist and want to produce these kinds of colors

Or you are a digital artist and want to produce this

This class will help you get there!  It's the first in a series of classes I am teaching that starts you from SCRATCH for on your way to becoming a digital artist and designer.  I don't teach how to use CU, or how to use someone else's color theme cards, I teach you how to develop and create your OWN!

Be YOU… Be UNIQUE… Be TRUE

Here is a small sped up clip from one of the bonus videos your receive in the class where I show how I created an artsy page, from scratch, with only a flower sketch and a photo of my tile floor.  

Start to finish, I show it all!

And if you want to see some more of my artsy style, I did an Evolution of a Page video at my Scrap Art Studio site's blog yesterday for Technique Tuesday showing my entire thought process on creating an artsy layout page.  This is in the raw, so be prepared. :)  No editing, saying all my thoughts, showing my entire process. :) 

And speaking of colors

Color Play 2 has been released in the SAS shop today! 

I LOVED working with these colors.  I created the color scheme from left over fabrics and silks!

From this

To produce this

All my Color Play 2 Kits are on sale right now through Sunday

See all the awesome Color Play 2 kits from ALL the SAS Designers.

Sneak Peek Inspiration and Chance to Win a Class

I have a few announcements to make.  That's what happens when you have too many things going on all in one week! lol

First I have a new product up today in the shop and on sale too.

These are my fav brushes I reach for when I am creating layouts and designing papers.  I will be teaching how to make these in my upcoming Digital Designer Studio class but may give a little peek into the process of how to color these artsy in my upcoming Building Color Confidence class that starts Sept 17th.  

Did you see you can win a seat for that class on the SAS Blog Friday by taking on our Color Challenge?  You have until Sunday to enter!  And join me for a LIVE CHAT at ReneeTV Wednesday Sept 12th at 9PM EDT. 

And speaking of the Color Challenge… us SAS Designers loved these so much we decided to use them for this month's Color Play 2 kits being released late Tuesday.  Want a little peek?!  Of course you do! lol

I made a few layouts over the weekend.  YEAH ME!  It's rare I have the time lately to do some layouts, so I was a very very happy camper. :)

First I made a very traditional layout of my Miss Bailey learning she had a built in musical instrument… her vocal cords! lol  Gotta luv it!

 And then I decided to do an artsy layout when a friend asked me what the difference is between my Traditional and Artsy layouts, at least according to me! lol  To me, it's the blending and my scribbles in this one.  I LOVE both styles and now have to choose when one to put into my books.  Hmmm maybe one into Miss Bailey's book and one into my own book. 

Then I couldn't stop playing with my kits so I made two more.  These photos are from when Kara was puppy sitting for the animal shelter one weekend.  Bailey and her got quite attached to those puppies, but happy to report, they all found good homes thanks to volunteers like my Kara.

Here in these I made the left page more of a traditional layout style, and then the right page is more artsy.  With the common background paper, they still go very well together.

I also used a Sewn Flower from FYA Imagine 

and artsy loop from my Beautiful Mess 4 kit that I recolored white.

And watch for later this week where I hope to have a a couple little videos of these pages and my process how I created them!  I hope to have ready for you tomorrow.

I also have some of my traditional kits on sale at Digitals this week for 35% off.  These most likely will be retired this year so don't miss out on the sale!

Till tomorrow! Hugs!

Inspiration Found - CD Baby Album

  One of my CTMs created this adorable recycled from CDs Baby Album so I thought I would share with you.  Angela is an awesome Hybrid Scrapper and it never ceases to amaze me what she creates.  You can find many of her hybrid digiscrap tutorials on her Tutorial Blog as Toucan Scraps.

She created the digital papers and the real life elements herself after taking my Building Color Confidence Class at ReneePearson.com this spring.  She also used Angie Young's Butterfly and my floral stamps on a few of her papers.

Beautiful work Angela! Thank you for sharing with us!

Still time to sign up for my Building Color Confidence Class

The class started today, but you can sign up still over until we begin the third week then the registrations are closed. I will be live for the class for 2 weeks after the end of the class, so plenty of time to catch up.

We already have a fun group enrolled from all different art backgrounds real life and digital.  This is going to be FUN!  Hope to see you there!

Did you miss our Chat at ReneeTV last night?

The chat last night was basically the same things we covered in the first chat, but I asked Kent and Renee to put up the first chat we had on Match 5th as we did talk a little more in-depth and had some good questions too.  

You can find the video on the "info" tab on the class page right at the top there in orange, "Watch Cilenia's March 5th video chat" at  http://www.reneepearson.com/classes/color.php

Don't forget also, there is a Intro Video on the Sample Tab too on the class page. I show a little more in-depth of what we will be covering in this class.

So if you missed our chat and are still not sure if this class is right for you, please go and watch the video and also feel free to contact me if  you still had any questions.

Class starts Monday and I'm SO excited!  Can't wait to see you all there!
