Wow, I can’t believe how long this has taken, and FLASH in a few days a friend with know-how made tons of improvements that had been holding me back.  In the meantime, I’ve changed the overall idea from a 26 week course, to full length videos and particular topics.   So, what will change is that there will not a monthly fee, but you’ll be able to join for an annual fee of  only $29.97 and then be able to buy whatever video you need for where you’re at.  Note, you will need  high speed internet access (DSL or faster) to see the videos without interruption.  If you don’t have high speed internet, I’ll put the video on a DVD for you for an small fee.

Your annual membership will also give you access to live streaming instruction that I will offer via ustream once I have at least 10 people signed up.  So, stay tuned, it really is coming SOON!  Thank you, Donna!!!  Keep up and Please Login or Register to see the link. and/or catch me on Please Login or Register to see the link.!

I’m making headway….but before I go on, I want to welcome you to this new site! Together we will explore the wonderful world of Art…and how to create it for yourself! All of the videos here right now are FREE for your perusal and growth. Spend a few minutes, read the posts, watch the videos…and please, let me hear from you.  Post a comment, say hello, and let me know what you’d like to see in a video, are you skeptical?  A beginner, or have you been painting/drawing for a while but find you’re stuck somewhere, or just need a new way to do something!   Let me know!

Coming soon, will be a full 26 week (or more ) course. Videos in learning to Draw, learning toPaint with watercolor or…both! Be sure to fill in your email to get first notice when we go live!

Thanks to those of you who took the survey!  Daisies won:  paint the stems and centers….so I did, and here it is:

Connections 20 x 16 Scratchboard

I called it “Connections” for all the crossing of stems and yet one or two not quite connected, kind of “hanging out” in space.  It struck me as I was working on it.

I thoroughly enjoyed working on this one. I video recorded alot of it, but not all…it took 117 hours, after all.  Anyway, I’m editing the video now and hope to get this all figured out really soon.

I’m sorry it’s taken so long.  I’m just as subject to the distractions that keep me from the studio as anyone who is struggling to learn to paint.  It’s life.  But when painting is integrally related to the blood that courses through my veins (or at least it seems that way) I have to get back to it, or go nuts.  Figuring out the online part is intimidating, but I’m working on it…so hang in there!  I’ll get it done yet!

And, while I’m thinking about it, perhaps it was kismet that I finished on the Friday of Memorial Weekend.  May we all remember our Connections to all those who serve and have served and have given their lives and limbs for our Freedom.

hi friends,

I know, it’s been a long time.  My deepest apologies.  From computer problems to time issues and of course, the non-stop flow of bad new from the talking heads on TV.  Enough! I said, and headed into the studio.  Camera, on.  So, a series of new videos is coming, and fast.  First on youtube, but I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, I posted a survey on my personal blog.  But I’d love you to take it from here too.  So, here’s the scoop.

I’ve been working on a 16 x 20 scratchboard piece.  To see the progression, for now, check out my Please Login or Register to see the link..

So, this piece that you see is the topic of the survey…and where would you like me to go from here?  here’s the pic:

so, I’d like to know where you’d like me to go….Please Login or Register to see the link.

It’s taking longer than I hoped, but I’m working to make the videos and the site just what you want. On that score, I created a survey that I’d sure be grateful if you’d fill out. I really would like to hear from you what you want in the way videos, how long they should be and what you consider the right price.

So, if you would, Please Login or Register to see the link.…it’s short, it won’t take more than a few minutes, I promise!  And….thank you!

It’s taken me longer than I thought, but I’m pouring all my best into it!  There’s nothing more exciting to me than when a student says, “WOW! I actually DID IT!’  When a student brings me work to evaluate and I see growth and development it puts a smile on my face!

We are made creative.  It’s in you, but perhaps you haven’t found it.  Maybe you find your creative genius in music, or dance.  Don’t think you can “do it all”!  You may always excel at one more than another, but the satisfaction of releasing that timeless flow is immense.

So… join me and explore all the ways to find your creative spark here.  The site will go live soon….Everything you find here right now is FREE.  Put your email in here and you’ll get advance notice of the full opening of Katherine’s Art TV!

Pouring watercolor can be vastly differing experiences depending on the choice of medium.  Working on traditional watercolor paper, such as Arches 140 pound Cold Press gives one result, which we’ll explore later, but for real vibrant color, give it shot on Yupo.  You may get the idea that I like working on Yupo…and you’d be correct!

My friend and fellow artist, Jacqui Binford-Bell has a unique take on pouring.  Since it’s so different from what I do, I’d like to share her perspective with you.

Click the link below and you can follow Jacqui in the exploration of pouring watercolor….on canvas!  (Note, the video is 16 minutes long so it takes a bit to load.)
