Lumbering

 

 
Lumbering, 24"x30" original painting, acrylic on flat panel, sold (thank you so much!).  Prints are available here. Please reach out with any questions.


Lumbering is another of the pieces created in February as part of my Intuitive Painting online workshop.** I created three pieces during the filming of this course, all originating from the same idea (a fusion of Bear with the California landscape), each one remarkably different and carrying her own distinctive personality. 

Lumbering was the most challenging of the three, coming home with me unresolved. It took a few more weeks for me to find her landing spot. Sometimes a painting needs a bit more time to come to fruition. And let's be real - it's also quite likely me, listening to the wrong things and taking her in the opposite direction.

One of the students in the course reached out and asked to purchase Lumbering, before I even had the chance to formally add her to my website. Of course I said yes - and I will say yes to you, too, should you see something on my socials or whereever and wish to make it yours. Just message me. And say please. 

And remember to ask if you'de like a payment plan. A 30% non refundable deposit reserves the painting, with the balance plus shipping and handling satisfied within 12 months. 

Also, returning collectors can use the coupon code "COLLECTOR10" for 10% off new purchases.

**Intuitive Painting is a streamable self study course with over 10 hours of video and lifetime access. If you are curious about creatively tapping in to your intuition or want to learn how I build my paintings, this is it. Enrollment will be open for a year. If you join now you'll get the added bonus of engaging with me daily via the Facebook classroom for the next month. 

Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork,
All my best, 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...
