Hey Celtic Collective member!! I hope you're having an amazing week so far. I'm about to make it even better, because today we're releasing not two, but FIVE new online art lessons for you in the theme of Gothic Angels!! How cool is that?! Lucy and I had a blast creating these projects for you and hope you have so much fun with them. Let's dig in!! Gothic Angel Face in Fountain Pen Inks with Karen This project was SO much fun. If you're new to the Celtic Collective, or to my world - painting with fountain pen inks is something I totally love! I feel like the colors are SO much more vibrant and opaque than watercolor. If you've never done fountain pen ink painting- CLICK HERE to check out the intro lesson about this medium vs. watercolor in the Maiden's Classroom. Don't have fountain pen inks at home? Do the lesson in watercolor - or any medium you want! Use whatever you love and have on hand, here's what I used... SuppliesMy favorite Cold Press (textured) Watercolor paper by Fabriano 9" x 12" 50 sheets is what I'm referencing in the video: https://amzn.to/2Vev3Lb Mechanical pencil in 0.5 lead https://amzn.to/3OW5YBL Polina Bright Watercolor Brushes https://www.polinabright.com/karencampbell and use coupon code KARENCAMPBELL to save 10% off your order J. Herbin Fountain Pen Nude Ink https://amzn.to/3a0xfuV Noodler's Ink Pecan https://amzn.to/2Y1jhpZ Noodler's Ink in Navy https://amzn.to/47gX60e Noodler's Ink Widow Maker (red) https://amzn.to/3tCN1Gp Black Drawing Ink https://amzn.to/3QLtsZV Brunch Date (pinky color) Ink I couldn't find but this Flamingo Pink is close, it's by Diamine: https://amzn.to/3R6w4D3 Fineliners like these are very affordable and a better option than Sharpies (which should not be used with alcohol markers) https://amzn.to/3DKH0i8 Pentel Pocket Brush Pen https://amzn.to/3WIhj9g Copic Opaque Paint with Brush https://amzn.to/3Dfr1ZW 👉Ready to start this 70-Minute lesson? ME TOO!!  If you enjoy this fountain pen ink painting lesson, I shared links to FOUR other Celtic Collective lessons inside the classroom for you so you can keep on painting away if you'd like! These links appear beneath the final video for this lesson. Cute Gothic Fairy in Alcohol Markers with Lucy *All product links for Lucy's lessons are affiliate & for UK residents only.* Lucy and I have been creating lessons in the Celtic Collective for a couple of years now, and I think this is THE FIRST lesson Lucy has done in alcohol markers!! I know!! She typically works in watercolor and gouache and is such a master at both... but look at THIS?! The piece above does NOT look like an alcohol marker newbie. She's stunning! If you're not in the mood to draw the face for this Gothic Fairy and just want to trace her so you can start coloring with your own markers, you TOTALLY can. Lucy left a template in the classroom for you. If you've never worked with alcohol markers before, we highly suggest you try doing a little warm-up lesson in the Maiden's classroom where there's an Intro to Alcohol Markers.  If you're ready to start this cute gothic fairy with Lucy, feel free to use whatever art supply you love most for this project. Here's what Lucy used... Supplies
 If you loved working with alcohol markers as much as we do, make sure you scroll down past the last video of this lesson because I've parked links for TONS of alcohol marker projects right here in the Celtic Collective for you to work on! Bat-Wing BADASS Gothic Angel with Karen Not gonna lie, I'm a little obsessed with this chick!! Try drawing the face first because it's kinda tricky with the head tilt and small scale. If you've never worked with alcohol markers before and this is your first project- you might want to hop over to the Maiden's Classroom first for a little Intro to Alcohol Markers floral project before you tackle this one. If you're ready to go, let's dig in to supplies. Here's what I used.... SuppliesBristol Paper 11 x 14 https://amzn.to/3MkxzdY (you could also use super smooth card stock like this if you'd like to save a little money) Mechanical pencil 0.5 https://amzn.to/3OW5YBL Vanish Eraser 3 pack https://amzn.to/3DJp8EF Pentel Pocket Brush Pen https://amzn.to/47qiAbk Molotow Fineliners https://amzn.to/3Bp41GF Molotow ALTERNATIVE (1/3 of the price) https://amzn.to/3DKH0i8 ArtBeek Alcohol Markers in the following colors (these are super cheap & SO juicy!): https://amzn.to/3MUajnz BK28 and BK 32 for skin tones BG3, BG5, BG 7 and BG 9 and Black for greys Stone colors 20 and 97 3 for lips 71 and 183 for 2 shades of Blue (hair and skirt) Sakura Belly Roll 1.0 big nib https://amzn.to/3SQ2inE 👉Ready to 80-Minute Lesson?

Graveyard Angel in Elegant Writer with Lucy Have you ever worked with the elegant writer pen to draw? Lots of calligraphy artists use it, but it's kinda magical for art! Use whatever you have on hand and love most to create this drawing. Here's what Lucy used... Supplies
 If you loved the elegant writer, you're in luck because it's what I use to create the Gothic Cathedral coming up next!! Gothic Cathedral in Elegant Writer with Karen I think you're gonna LOVE this one!! The elegant writer is seriously so much fun. My favorite is lifting some of the activated water to reveal that pinky teal that can sometimes appear like in the bottom right of the pic above. So pretty!! As always with watersoluble art supplies- you need to be working on watercolor paper. Supplies for me were really limited for this project. Use whatever you have and love. Here's what I used... SuppliesFabriano Hot Press 11" x 14" watercolor paper https://amzn.to/3Ysrp0f Elegant Writer https://amzn.to/3uiDyKe (I love this multi pack, I'll explain why in the video) Watercolor Brush (I'm using both a Mop and a few of the Rounds from the Dream Set by Polina Bright) Polina Bright Watercolor Brushes https://www.polinabright.com/karencampbell and use coupon code KARENCAMPBELL to save 10% off your order Black Indian Ink https://amzn.to/3MQ9hZP Pentel Pocket Brush Pen https://amzn.to/47qiAbk Frisket (optional but I'm glad I used it) https://amzn.to/3G6hCEU I also used a splash of Yellow ink by Noodler's but I still can't decide if I love it or hate it! Here's the link regardless. https://amzn.to/3G65mUS 👉Wanna start this 45-Minute Lesson? CLICK below.  Links to MORE elegant writer projects have been dropped at the end of this lesson in the classroom for you as well, if you're having a blast! In the Mood for Something Else?I hear ya. It's December after all!!

Lucy's gnome turned out SO cute!!!  Tons of students have been making their gnomes even more holiday-ish with snow, pine trees, holly berries- you name it!  Have You Checked Out the YULE Classroom?The Yule Classroom holds a number of lessons Lucy and I compiled last December filled with information and imagery related to Yule, which is the Celtic celebration of the winter solstice.
