🎨 Hello Artists! Whether you're an experienced painter or just starting your artistic journey, I'm so happy to have you in KBladeArt School. The goal of this community is to help and inspire you with your painting, artistic creativity, and growth. I have now moved my course: Brushstrokes Beneath the Surface: A Creative Guide to Oil Painting, to Skool (what you're viewing this on). This transition has been a long process, but I am so grateful to you all for being patient and ready to learn! Right now my first oil painting course is the only thing available, but I plan to add so many more lessons, BTS, and exclusive content here :) Inside this community we'll be: - learning oil painting techniques - studying portraits, figures, and human emotion in art - sharing works in progress - giving feedback and encouragement - pushing through creative blocks together - and more! There are already a lot of great community features on this platform, but if you prefer discord we also have a class server: KB ART SCHOOL DISCORD To get things started, I'd love for you to introduce yourself (if you haven't already)! Feel free to copy and paste the following questions into your comment and share your artistic endeavors. - What is your name/nickname? - Where are you from? - How long have you been practicing art? - What artistic challenges do you currently face? - I would love to see your artwork! Post one of your recent paintings or what you are working on right now. Classroom Rules 🖌️ 🎨 - Be kind and respectful of other members. Harassment, hate speech, and rude comments won't be tolerated.
