Welcome to Martha Kisling Fine Art!

I hope everyone is feeling the signs of spring around you, altho we just had a snow blizzard two days ago - typical of spring in Colorado! Luckily, I just got back from a wonderful trip to beautiful (and warm) Charleston, SC where I spent six great days with my mom and two daughters. You can read about it below and more photos to come over the next few weeks in my blog, so if you have not subscribed to email updates now is your chance. Wishing all of you special time with your loved ones over Easter and the spring season.

Get Your Creative Juices Flowing!

Sometimes we need a little push to get our creative juices flowing. Take a painting or craft workshop. Start a sketchbook journal and draw everyday. Watch an art demonstration on YouTube. Create your own studio space with all the supplies at hand. Get together with a friend to paint. Make creativity a priority in your life - the benefits are endless!

Creative Journey Watercolor Collage

Last month I taught a Workshop on Watercolor Collage where we focused on aspen trees and rocks. Collage is a great way to add texture to a watercolor and hand painting your own tissue is an inexpensive and effective way to create collage papers. You can also use decorative rice papers and any found papers you may have on hand. You can see more about this process on my blog.gge paperpaper or any found papers you may have collected. pae, wherewhere we focused on Aspen trees and rocks LLast Month
