Welcome to Martha Kisling Fine Art!
I love this time of year when the neighborhood is decorated with Christmas lights, holiday music is on the radio and the house will soon be full of family. It is a time to cherish our loved ones and be kind to others. Here is wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

Extend Your Creative Borders
We are conditioned to paint inside the lines so a fun way to stretch your creative muscles is to extend your composition out into the border of your painting. For this rose watercolor I used a light blue background leaving a white border all around the paper. Then, as I painted the roses, I let the petals and leaves extend out to the white areas, creating a unique compostion.
