20220826: Last year our company organised a virtual paint and sip session during lockdown. Over the past weeks I’ve decided to use the leftover paints and got myself a set of three square canvasses and been watching tutorial videos for #acrylicpainting for beginners. I still have a bit of paint left so I might have a couple more of these paintings. In the mean time, these are my attempts at acrylic painting. #paintingforfun #whenimbored (at St Leonards, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChtdPoApPha/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy to be back in my current base of Denver. I went straight into hanging with artist friends at @randalrobertsart ‘s “Art in the Park” jam! Always nice to get outside to enjoy a nice summer day and hang with fellow creatives (especially in inspiring architecture!). #artinthepark #paintingforfun #randalroberts #cheesemanpark #artistfriends #positivecreations (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChPktzcO8gC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes you just need to get all gooey with paint. I was inspired by a similar video by the talented @dhton, smearing colors across a canvas, much like I did here. It looked like too much fun, so I had to try the technique for myself (swipe sideways to see my video!)... this textured little painting, Just a Wee One (8 x 6”), is available on my website, in the VAVOOM! series (link in bio). Have a vibrantly creative day! 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #VaVoom #VaVoomSeries #Texture #PaintingForFun #StreaksOfColor #ArtistProcess #ArtistProcessVideo (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/COXsBnHpSIB/?igshid=vq3j1rrnbo7

Just for fun, I decided to paint this tote bag, which was bestowed upon me by Jessica M from @Anthropologie, about a year ago. We had planned an online painting workshop, and this was one of the leftover canvas items that did not get painted... until now, that is! It’s a great grocery bag, and I love it even more, now that I have added some color to it! YOU can do it too: all you need are some paint brushes, pots of water, acrylic paints (I used fluid acrylics), and of course, a bag! You could substitute the bag for something else… Perhaps a cotton apron? I do recommend that you use 100% cotton canvas for whatever it is you are painting, so that the paint holds onto it. The most important goal: to have fun. Happy painting! 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #Florals #FloralPainting #Colors #PaintingForFun #CanvasBag #ToteBag #Anthropologie #ArtOfAnthropologie (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/COLfsLfJ5YR/?igshid=1f76a5yrkcaq2

Can’t afford a Georgia O’Keeffe painting so I did my own, started ages ago with #somethinglessboring and finally finished. I’ve also done my own Van Gogh and Monet. Who should I do next? #paintingforfun #tryingtopaintlikearealartist #pretendgeorgiaokeeffe #paintingwithacrylics (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN0i3UThvFA/?igshid=887ejxlv7xnu
