New Online Course - Bloom, Expand Possibilities

 

Bloom, Expand Possibilities

 

Are you ready to paint together? let’s loosen up; listen to our bodies, minds and art; and reignite our love for painting.


I have a new online course blending intuitive painting with imaginative storytelling. It is packed with insight on how to move into processes I’ve developed specifically to combine representation and abstracted passages. 


Let’s look at Fox, Floral, Sky and Color with fresh eyes as we step into a full expression of what we choose to paint and what that means to us.


What Bloom includes:

  • a detailed breakdown of my signature Create-Destroy-Rebuild process

  • guidance in exploring “what-ifs” and building “must-haves”

  • TWO FULL PAINTINGS - one focused on facial expression, one with dynamic movement

  • a bonus live launch party to kick things off

  • a live Q&A session to support your learning journey

  • an optional add-on mini course to help build a personalized, powerful color palette

  • over 10 hours of downloadable instruction with lifetime access

  • a private Facebook group supplemental classroom space (which includes students and content from my prior Intuitive Painting Momma Bear course, so it’s already packed with value)

  • all of this delivered via Kara Bullock Art, with a history of bringing professional video instruction from world class artists right into your own studio


Early bird enrollment is open now; class starts June 11th (the Launch Party is June 8th via zoom). What are you waiting for?


Let’s paint together!


Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork. 

Love you, 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...
