MAKE CREATE EXPRESS 2020

Did you participate in this weekend's Create Retreat? there was SO MUCH content crammed into 48 hours - really, about 2 hours per lesson, if you pulled an all-nighter. It was hard to fit it all in.

My favorite part was that for 2 days we celebrated being creative and making art. There was so much support, enthusiasm and delight getting passed about the classroom. It was breathtaking.

Do you wish you had more time to discover and play? Did you not get to all the lessons you had wished? well, there's a solution for that..... other than crying over your journal.

Come join the yearlong Make Create Express 2020 workshop. 

You will receive a Lesson every week - and there is no expiration on said lesson, so you can take all the time you wish to dive deeper, linger, and experiment. You will also be a piece of the above mentioned community, a group of creatives eager to try new things and share inspiration.

That's over 52 lessons, an entire year of prompts and sparks and amid a creatively centric community. And it works out to only $2.30/lesson.

You'll get my ButterFLYs lesson about painting motion. You'll get my Multiplying Like Rabbits lesson about layering sketches. And a whole mess of other tips and tricks that I use in my artwork.

AND you'll get content from 25 other world known creatives, each bringing you their own unique spin on moving their hands.

Still not sure? more info is here.
Wanna sign up? you can do that here - but hurry, because the early bird pricing (where you save $30) will expire soon.

Hoping I get to Make Create Express with you this year.
Thanks, as always, for following along on my art journey!
Warmly, Kim

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...

Fisher Price Little People Puppy, Toy #10

"Little People Puppy (Toy #10)," 6" x 6," acrylics on masonite, starring a spunky little spaniel with jointed legs made by Fisher Price This painting is $75, with free shipping inside the US. Purchasing is as simple as  asking . I didn't play with this particular version of Little People toys, but I find them very sentimental never the less. They are well designed and charming. I tried to figure out what year Fisher Price made these particular jointed toys which I own (via ebay - I have circus characters too!), but got distracted learning about the history of Little People in general. They have seemingly been around for 50+ years! The Little People barn was a HUGE part of my childhood. The barn doors opened with a "mooooo," but in my head I heard welcoming nickers. Those horses and chickens were real. The brown and orange shag carpeting of my parent's family room became lush rolling pastures of green, and the Little People...

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...
