I hope to watch this one day!

Hi @Artsygl I live on a farm outside of Baraboo! It's good to see you on here. I teach workshops and if you would like to hear more please email me at kylemartinfineart@gmail.com

That is cool to know! I’ll bet it is nice this time of year. I have painted in San Francisco a couple of times but it’s been decades. Good memories!

Hi Bart, It’s a nice time of year for tulips and very cool that you found a windmill as well! Reminds me of spring in Amsterdam. Have a great season of plein air Kyle

I also live in a place that has seasons, Wisconsin, and these pieces do a nice job of showing the allure of painting the same location under different effects.

I had some giclee prints made by the company mpix, and they came out great. The colors are true to the original and the paper is a good weight. I think I paid $10 for 11x14" and sell them for $50 right now. They are on my website if you would like to see them (they say giclee in the title)...

Thanks everyone, those old VW's make great subjects. Ayin, that is very cool that you owned so many air cooled VWs. I have always loved the Karman Ghias and Squarebacks. They are such intereresting cars, and there are so few on the roads now here in Wisconsin. I have a 64 bug parked in my shed...

Thanks, Terri, I’m glad you like the loose handling on this one 🤩the cars directed it. I’m having fun remembering the old vw days hahah.

Thank you, OliveOyl, I love the old vw’s as well. I learned to drive stick on a 72 bug, and have a ‘63 parked in a shed at my place now. I’ve had it for 25 years. I have fond memories of those cars, I am indeed a young whippersnapper. Thanks for the comments on my color and shape making 😊. For...

Hello everyone, Those old air cooled vw’s spark nostalgia into all of us, and I couldn’t resist painting them on a Sunday afternoon last May. This is at Percy’s garage, in Madison, Wisconsin. It is a great old service shop for vw’s. The owner knows everything there is to know about these cars. I...

My site is https://kylemartinpaintings.sellfy.store/ And good thing I looked at it, there is a mast head advertising for a promotion from 2 months ago. I need to revise that.

After all the gear problems are solved, and a painter can draw a little bit, it could be good to have a plan. Many painters have taught a lot about the importance of a good abstract design of value shapes. To me the arrangement of large shapes or puzzle pieces that make up a subject is the most...

Hi Bongo, that is a great way to do it. As long as the proportions are correct it’s all good. Have a great holiday

Thank you Donna, I hope you have a nice holiday

Hi Everyone, Here is a drawing video for working from life. I did the drawing demo while looking through the phone, which was recording, so that you could see it from my eyes. Happy Holidays, Kyle
