Robin's Egg Blue, a new art journaling lesson

 

robin’s egg blue I have completed some major projects recently - hung a solo show in the fall, filmed and launched an online intuitive painting workshop (available for purchase, with lifetime access, through Kara Bullock Art School), completed a community art project for the Detroit Society of Women Painters & Sculptors, launched on demand art lessons, opened a group show a couple weeks back, created an entirely new body of work for a two person show in Denver next month, and am varnishing and readying to ship 4 new, large bear paintings to Whiteside Art Gallery (Cashiers, NC) in early July. It’s no wonder I’ve not released a new art journaling lesson in a bit! Earlier this week I had an afternoon to sit with one of my books and just play. It felt great, to get to make marks with abandon, no worries about anything having to turn out any particular way. That’s my favorite kind of arting, the rudderless sort. Out of that afternoon came this lesson, Robin’s Egg Blue. Working from a  real live robin's nest (albeit vacant), I’ll show you how to see the nest, translate what you see into gestures, choose a proper tool, and make the corresponding mark. I’ll also introduce how to shift the qualities of line work to match what we see, then tackle the simple task of finger painting egg shapes, finally embellishing them with some basic shading. As with any of my free journaling lessons, these are created for your personal use. Feel free to alter the materials or substitute your own favorite techniques. The only rule in art journaling is that you make all the rules. So have fun! Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork,  Love you, Kim
