Nesties Registration

CLASSROOM IS OPEN!!!

REGISTER NOW!!

Hello friends! I am so happy that you are here! If you know me, then you know that I love to paint my “nestie” girls! My first nestie happened in a journal on my drive home from visiting my sister. After that, I decided to take my journal page to canvas, and the rest is history. After my first nestie was created, I just couldn’t stop. I also found that I really enjoy painting birds! My nestie girls have more meaning than just a girl with a nest for hair. The more that I painted them, the more I realized that they really symbolize who I am as a person. In this class, I will share with you the story behind my nestie girls. We will also learn to paint a few of these girls AND some birds!!

This workshop will run for two weeks. It will have at least six lessons (possibly more) and I will be available to you during that entire time! The lessons will include the following:

three different nestie girl and bird projects (raven and owl for sure!)
practice bird sketching
easy ways to draw and paint a face
three different backgrounds
and much more 😀

Below are pictures of the projects we will create.

I will be actively involved with the class via Facebook during the two weeks that the class runs and I continue to be available to you after the two weeks are over. So, if you do not get the projects completed during the first two weeks, don’t worry! I will still be here for you! You will gain access to many hours of video in which I walk you through various mixed media techniques. Any work created in the course is yours to keep or sell! Whoo Hoo! You will have life time access to this workshop and all videos will be downloadable. Join me in my Facebook community with others that are also taking my workshops to share your work and get feedback.

Testimonials

Debbie Wiggan, Australia – “I had the absolute pleasure of painting with Kara during a number of her workshops. One that I did recently was Her Darkest Everything, Although Kara is in the US and I’m in Australia, it still felt like she was in the room painting along with me! Her instructions are clear and you get to see every step of the process – you even learn that things can go wrong for an experienced artist and how to fix them too! Kara’s knowledge of online learning comes through when using her website as it is one of the easiest to navigate that I’ve come across. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to get into a class you’ve purchased, and that doesn’t happen here. Kara has also built a wonderful community of like minded souls – both as teachers and students. We all get to learn from each other and I can’t wait for her new course to come out next year.“

Beth Fryer Weatherford, Nashville, TN – “This was one of my favorite workshops I’ve ever taken! Kara was thorough in her step by step explanations and always great about answering questions along the way. Can’t wait to take her next workshop!“

Cindy Riordan, Mokena IL – “Kara’s simple straight forward teaching style was easy to understand and a joy to be a part of. I cannot wait to start my next painting with her in her next class. Thank you Kara!”

Deanna Strachan, Atascadero, CA – “I absolutely LOVED learning Kara’s layering technique! It’s amazing how something begins one way and ends up completely different, but you can still see all of the underlying layering and colors. Loved it!!!”
