Welcome to Martha Kisling's Creative Painting!
The wonderful thing about art is that there is ALWAYS something new to learn, practice or experiment with whether it is a new technique, subject, style or medium. I have mainly focused on watercolor painting and all that it has to offer over the last twenty years but there are so many new art supplies on the market and they are so fun to play with that I have decided to offer a new Acrylic, Collage and Mixed Media class - you can read more about it below.
Be sure to check out my blog to see past postings and more of my art and you can also subscribe to this newsletter if you haven't already. Check out past newsletters here.
Happy Spring!
Martha

Art Blog
Paintings of Water
I try to post to my blog several times a week to keep everyone updated on my art. One of the fun things about a blog is being able to view present and past paintings by topic or category. You can see all of my different paintings of water including the ocean, lakes, waterfalls, streams and koi ponds here

 Weekly Classes
March Negative Painting
My weekly watercolor classes focused on negative painting for the month of March - flowers, grapes, trees and white buildings. For SPRING DAY I used the greens in the trees and background bushes to shape the building and white fence. Next month, we will focus on painting different types of Textures in Watercolor.
