NEW PAINTING Queen

 

"Queen," 16x20", acrylic mixed media on panel. Queen is $850 plus s&h to the first asking nicely - will it be you?  message me to find out.

Queen is a lesson painting


....but what does that mean, really?

it means that her creation process was included in a video lesson shared in my online classroom.

In her case I demonstrated how I work though various ideas as the piece progresses.

Curious? want to join us? of course you do, and of course you can!

my online classroom is basically a monthly membership ranging from $15-25 (you could also sign up at $4/month, which buys treats for Blue). Inside the classroom you will find regular content sharing exclusive behind the scenes footage and ramblings about my process and ideation along with structured exercises to help you manage a studio business and find your own style. Lessons come approximately weekly. The initial payment unlocks the previous 12 months of content, and then you are billed the first of the month onwards for however long you wish to stay. Learn more here.

Not a painter but want to support my growth anyways? well thank you sincerely for that - you can sign up for any of the tiers or choose a custom monthly amount that meets your budget. Again, details are here. 

And if the cost of living increase is tightening your wallet, you can always support me for free by commenting on and sharing my social media posts (I'm on FB and insta - links below), forwarding this newsletter and sending me good painting jujubes.

Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork - and for supporting me in my journey, warmly, Kim

“Katie’s Moustache,” 6x12, pet portrait in acrylic on canvasboard, $90. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . One glimpse of Katie’s face, and I was hooked. Not only did she fall into my beloved “black & white” category, but she came with a full moustache and doe-like eyes. I first covered the canvas with a variety of blues and purples, using a (mixed) light green and pink for the highlights. (Right now my palette has been expanded to include the following: pthalo blue red, azurite hue, cad red dark, alizarine crimson, cad yellow dark, and then for graying/hazing out I use light green yellow and ultramarine purple.) I lighten with titanium white and darken with one of the blues and a touch of one of the reds. As a side note, at this time last year I was really struggling with my limited palette (I went from about 60 pots of paint to 3), but I have lived the benefits – I am so much more familiar with what I can mix given just this handful of colors. My paintings are also m...

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...

Golden Open Acrylics

I get all sorts of process oriented questions. Most recently I've been getting asked a lot about my paints and palette, which made me realize what a nice blog topic this would make! I use a Masterson Sta-Wet Premier palette box . This is comprised of a box (think Tupperware) with a sponge liner and a slice of palette paper that work together to keep my paints wet. This setup allows me to work with the same palette for about a full week, having the box open for multiple hours every day. You can see what the palette looks like at the beginning of a new session above - below the exact same palette after this week's work. For the last 25 years I have used Golden brand acrylics, mediums, and varnish. I love the overall quality of these paints and the fact that, when I have a question, their customer service department is made up of artists who actually use the products. Until last year, I used their Heavy Body paints exclusively. They have a buttery consistency, a little loose...
