November Online Classroom Calendar

 

Let's Paint Together Online

Did you know that I have an online classroom called The Magic Space? It's an open studio setup where I drop exclusive content focused on sharing inspiration, approach to intuitive work, the processes I use in my paintings, and all sorts of other good stuff.

The basic premise is that we all want to discover what makes our work stand out, right? like essentially how to build a unique style. And that's what I show, by example, with content created in real time focused exactly on what I am doing in my paintings.

If you already follow me on my socials you are seeing  in process images and the finished work, algorythm permitting, which is great eye candy. In The Magic Space you get so much more than that - you learn where the ideas originate, see preparatory works, deep discourse on the evolution and journey a painting carries me on, hear me frame takeaways and new challenges, with opportunity to ask questions and hands on guidance as you shape the direction for your own work. (All with controls that allow you to choose if you want to receive notifications by email or via logging into the platform, so no more piecemeal information).

Tuition is paid monthly; students can stay for as long as they wish. I have two instructional tiers - @theeasel ($30) is for the curious mind who is limited in creative time, monthly with about 40-60 minutes of new content and a lunch meetup via zoom. Independent Study ($50) is for the active creator with a regular studio practice - they receive all @theeasel content plus another 2 hours of material, including a live event each month.

There is literally something for everyone - If you are unable to commit to a monthly payment, sign up for the free tier where you'll get tips, prompts and other juicy bits from the studio that don't show up anywhere else. And if you simply wish to support all the free content I build across all the platforms, there is a tip jar via the $4 Buy Blue a Treat tier.

November is going to be a great month with a focus on alignment and understanding, along with some serious project planning. 

I hope you can join me!

Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork,
Love you, 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...
