Masterclass: Build A Body of Work

The difference between 99% of artists who stay students forever and artists who exhibit their work is their approach, commitment as evidenced by their ability to build a body of work.

Building a body of work requires chaos, tenacity, taking chances, and having faith even if you have no idea where you'll end up. By methodically producing you will have a body of work on the other side. Pursue a vision. This is the bridge to traverse that chasm.

This Masterclass opens once per year. All mediums welcome. Learn More

Oil Painting Fluency & Flow

This program is absolutely amazing, a strong foundation that you can build your wildest oil painting practice on. It is everything you wanted to know about oil painting but were afraid to ask, um varnishing anyone, glazing? Kimberly generously shares all the knowledge she built over the years, so you don’t have to spend years making mistakes to gain it. Surfaces, materials, brushes, tips on how to build up a painting, history of pigments - all covered. Interviews with working contemporary artists are inspiring and energizing, it makes “being an artist” very tangible and real. Plus live sessions with critiques - just love it.
