Artist Session: Kelsey of Kettle Pot Paints

During this session I got to watch Kelsey (watercolorist and Etsy creative) make her product from start to finish. It was amazing to document the process from a blank piece of card stock to a colorful memento of a tidy little house. Although I have what my mother would call "artsy tendencies", I have exactly zero motor skills, and so I have always held my painting friends in awe. Getting to watch someone paint for hours, and to see the magic happening was a real treat, especially since it was combined with a mild and sunshiny January afternoon.

Kelsey has C.S. Lewis and Mr. Tolkien on her desk to keep her inspired (further proving that we are kindred spirits and artistic soulmates).

This just in: watercolors are magical.

A puzzled look down at a stubborn shade of red that was refusing to look like brick.

After the painting was finished, we retired to the living room for some quick portraits - Kelsey was a champ, despite claiming to be camera shy. :)

She's just so lovely, inside and out. I'm a fan.
