Welcome to Martha Kisling Fine Art!
I hope everyone is enjoying winter and finding time to create. My weekly classes are in full swing and I am also teaching at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center and offering some workshops for the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild. I love teaching and it is my goal to encourage everyone in their artistic journey as they find their own style. I really believe that we all have an artist inside and we need to encourage each other in that pursuit!
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 Valentine's Day!

Here he is in front of one of the many covered bridges in Vermont - a beautiful state!

Invited Back To Breckenridge Invited Back To Breckenridge
i am very excited to announce that I have been invited back to Breckenridge, CO as their Guest Artist in 2012! I spent two weeks in November last year as their Artist in Rtesidence and stayed in the historic Tin Shop shown above, with studio space on the ground floor and living quarters on the second floor. It was wonderful to have time to paint, interact with the public and host a Watercolor Batik Workshop. With over 60 applicants and only 10 artists invited each year, I am truly honored to be able to participate again.To see more about my visit last year check out my blog. |

Creative Journey - Use that SpongeNew Paints & New Colors
Holly and Pears is painted in a more traditional way using thin washes of watercolor on dry paper instead of my favorite wet-on-wet. I did, however, start by wetting the paper and used a natural sea sponge dipped in paint for to create the background. I first used some Rose Madder and then cleaned the sponge before dipping into some Hooker's Green - did not want the complementary colors to mix and create mud! Sometimes it is nice to stray a bit from your normal style and try some different techniques!
