Yesterday’s “Celebrate Summer” Sale got off to a little slow start. Even though I’m there for 10 days and the weather’s nicer than last year, I thought for sure I wasn’t going to sell anything at all. Two and a half hours later, I was able to sell two paintings done on oval canvases. While… Continue reading “Celebrate Summer” Sale (Day 1)

Yesterday’s demo was an improvement. Just like on Wednesday, it started off slow and I didn’t think I was going to get anyone to watch or get raffle tickets. While I was able to give away a few tickets, Social Media Coordinator, Grace Skinner was able to advertise my demo, which led to a slight… Continue reading Painting Demos (Day 2)

Yesterday’s painting demos was slightly better than the last two years. Even though it started off a little slow, I managed to distribute a lot of raffle tickets for drawing at the end of each demo. My only complaint was the easel the fair staff provided was a little wobbly, but thankfully it didn’t collapse. … Continue reading Painting Demos (Day 1)

Yesterday’s painting demo didn’t go exactly as planned. I was hoping to get more people to watch me paint, but I got fewer people than before, which kind of disappointed me. On a positive note, I was able to give away more raffle tickets and the paintings turned out nice. The highlight was being surprised… Continue reading Kevin’s Cards Painting Demos/Raffle Day 2

Today was the second year of doing painting demos at the Alameda County Fair and there were a lot of changes made. First of all, the times were moved to 2 and 4 pm respectively so more people would get a chance to watch me paint. In addition, I had four raffle prizes which included… Continue reading Kevin’s Cards Painting Demo/Raffle Day 1

Last year, Kevin’s Cards did live painting demos at the Alameda County Fair after going on hiatus from 2017 – 2022. While the concept was nice, it was slower than I anticipated mainly due to the number of people that saw me paint and a weak advertisement. On a positive note, they actually liked seeing… Continue reading Kevin’s Cards Live Painting Demos

Over the last 10 years, I’ve created a lot of paintings inspired by Bob Ross landscapes from The Joy of Painting on PBS, and most of them have been made into greeting cards. A lot of them have been sold at various events, given out as gifts, and displayed on my website. I even have a few… Continue reading “Best of Kevin’s Cards: 10 Years of Painting”

The final day of the Kevin’s Cards “Summer Vibes” Sale had a strong finish! Before the day started, I posted one more Instagram video telling people that this was their last chance to stop by my booth and buy something! Since it started off slow, I thought for sure it was going to be the… Continue reading “Summer Vibes” Sale Final Day/Recap

Yesterday’s sale was another good one. Since the Alameda County Fair posted a blog on their website about my experience at Artist Alley called Dreams Come True at the Fair, I did another live video where I summarized the blog because this meant a lot to me. When I showed it to Erika, I thought for… Continue reading “Summer Vibes” Sale Day 5
