When I’m not writing, I’m painting, drawing, researching. So much goes on behind the manuscript, the screenplay, the painting, or illustration. Countless notebooks and TONS of Pinterest boards. Hug your writer/artist friend, their mind won’t give them a day off. #kelliethomaswalker #jumpersequel #jumper #jumperbookseries #girlboss #girlpower #scifibooks #illustration #fantasybook #art #author #authortalk #artist #artinfilm #artinfilm #writing #stephenkingtips #stephenking

Mock Up of Book 2 Cover
I was struggling with writing a portion of my sequel, so i grabbed the first book, and started painting a possible civer for book 2. Thye look alike—but they’re not. Sometimes day to day it can be hard to see differences, but theyre there. Now, I have what I need inside of me to continue this next chapter. #astronomy #bookcover #kelliethomaswalker #jumper #jumperbook #jumperbookseries #sciencefiction #scifibooks #fantasybook #illustration #astrolabe #art #artwork #orihinalartwork #artist #author #authorlife #authortalk #arttalk

Molding Wings
After some internal debate, I decided to add in fiber paste (Golden Fiber Paste) to the two paintings to create thwir feather texture. After they dry, I will start the detailing of the feathers. On my large angel, (not pictured), I addes in liquid gold—which I might. All depends on how I feel. I’ve been studying angel sculptures for almost two years now. Cemetery ones are my go to for reference. #arttalk #astronomical #art #artwork #stars #gallery #kelliethomaswalker #artoftheday #artist #orihinalartwork #femaleartist #angel #angelwings #angelart #angelpainting #jumperbook #jumperbookseries
My Moon
Adding in a perimeter glow to my textured moon. The craters are made with Golden fiber paste/golden paint, molded with a small oval pallet knife I bouggt years ago from Art Supply Warehouse in Westminster. Dont forget to buy/make solar eclipse glasses for Saturday’s Ring Of Fire solar eclipse, the entire US will ve able to view it.

Lighting Your Artwork
After searching and purchasing several types of artwork lighting, I’ve settled on one I like. It is plug in, which I’ve found has a far superior clarity in the color. Trust me, you don’t want the integrity of your Art compromised. You can wall mount, or if you’re like me and are constantly rotating art and don’t want to put more holes in the wall, just simply set the light atop the center. The light has a swivel head for easy adjustment. Link below

Creating Atmosphere In Art/Writing
Art/writing tip. Creating atmosphere in your art and writing. Atmosphere is not bound to the earth elements; it can convey emotion, consciousness, or simply the point of view from your audience. My art aids my writing, and my writing helps my art. Don’t get inside your head, let go wnd see where it takes you. You can always edit/touch up your work later. I was working on my sequel yesterday—a difficult part involving the creation of a place no one has seen, I took a psychological approach and I remembered something from my childhood that I hadn’t thought about in probably 30 years. Creating a conscious atmosphere did this. It was pretty trippy. What do you hear, see, feel? What does the ground feel like under your bare feet? Break down to basics, wnd work. #arttutorial #artisttalk #kelliethomaswalker #painting #painter #jumperbook #jumperbookseries #portraitart #portraitart #orihinalartwork #contemporaryart #portraiture #fineart #art #writing #LA #longbeach #celestial
Celestial Art
Creating a celestial atmosphere in art. If you look at our sky at night, you’ll notice it’s not just black and white—there’s color. I challenge you to search Hubble Images, and study the color variations inside nebulas, galaxies, planets, stars, etc. When you paint them, I start with a dried base of light or dark, then make a transparent mix with (neon magenta 1/3 to 2/3 dark magenta, 2/3 Golden gel medium), heavy on the gel, you want transparency. Cover the white dot and with yoyr finger, pull the pant outward. Any questions are welcome in the comments😊. #arttutorial #artisttalk #painting #painter #kelliethomaswalker #jumperbook #goldenpaints #jumper #jumperbookseries #portraitart #orihinalartwork #contemporaryart #portraiture #fineart #art #writing #LA #longbeach #celestial #astronomy #space
4ft Retouch
Retouching of old 4 ft. I darkened out the eyes intending to restructure them, but ended up loving the edge of her eyes staying in shadow. Initially I painted this for me, for my home, though now—I’m thinking of exhibiting it. Paint note: Pyrole Red mixed with magenta is to die for. Pay the extra for the high end red. #goldenpaints #kelliethomaswalker #portrait #portraitart #portraiture #painting #orihinalartwork #contemporaryart #mosernart #edgy #fineart #jumperbook #jumperbookseries #art #writing #artist #figurative #figurativeartist #artgallery #LA #feminine #female #artcollector #longbeach

Keep Moving
Tightened some lines, subdued the background, contrasts on her skin, wings, skirt. I’ve been writing every day too, because you can edit a blank page. I’ve been working so hard, I’m tired. Gotta push hard, and keep moving forward (comment if you know what line that’s from 😋). #art #writing #writer #artist #angel #angelartwork #figurative #figurativepainting #figurativeartist #artgallery #kelliethomaswalker #jumperbookseries #jumperbook #author #artisttalk #writertalks #book #scifibooks #fantasybooks #losangeles #longbeach #sketch #artstudio
Light It UP
40x24 progress of new angel. Added in Golden interference paint with Golden gel medium to add illumination. If you haven’t used it, it’s a iridescent paint that comes in multiple transparent hues, and when applied over paint it changes in thelight and at different angles of perspective. #arttalk #kelliethomaswalker #jumperbookseries #jumperbook #artist #losangelesart #losangelesart #author #california #gallery #artstudio #artwork #books #scifibooks #artprocess #writer
