Combining impastos and glazing to create a glowing effect. The full video tutorial is part of my online Art Mentoring Program which you can find out more about at KristyGordonCourses.com (link in bio). https://www.instagram.com/p/CCps0-ulBYA/?igshid=rhig8qdcmhrp

I dug up these never seen before progress shots of this painting (swipe to see them all). I started with a warm ground so that it would show through the textured white background a bit (like at the bottom). I used foundation white for the textured impasto in the background. What are your favorite mediums and whites? https://www.instagram.com/p/CCldCeRF9CR/?igshid=1jc3vhjclvsyr

Do you have a special lake or beach that this reminds you of? Just finished this commission of this sweet little boy. I wish I was at this lake now! https://www.instagram.com/p/CCe4AW1Fx95/?igshid=1h5bw0pkg858d

What color would you paint the background? Swipe to see a time lapse of a demo I gave this weekend about painting dog fur on the Zoom meeting with my Art Mentoring Program (for more info click the link in bio). https://www.instagram.com/p/CCTb1wulAE_/?igshid=1lu9m9ef2vf2k

When it’s your first time working with an #artmodel in three months! This piece is about half done. I’m enjoying introducing the magic of the natural world and helpers from another realm into the struggle and conflict of this Earthly plane. What would you title this painting? https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_03JqlalM/?igshid=4jedbhoeu9m2

Thank you so much @beautifulbizarremagazine for sharing my painting! This painting will be included in an exhibition at @grenning.gallery in Sag Harbor, NY which opens Oct. 4. https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0ixpoFFa9/?igshid=1p78i0iko5wmq

My painting “Centrifuge” is included in the New York Academy of Art’s Summer Exhibition. It was juried by Joeonna Bellorado-Samuels, director of Jack Shainman Gallery; Andrea Scott, art reviewer for The New Yorker; and Alia Williams, director of Jeffrey Deitch Gallery. It’s an honor to be included in this virtual exhibition alongside the work of Alicia Brown, Alonsa Guevara, Stephanie Deshpande, Buket Savci, Nancy Hollinghurst, Michelle Doll and so many other notable artists. Swipe to see a video I took (with my phone) of a virtual tour. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBjslx4lT_b/?igshid=2qgk9hrrfzkn

I’m excited that this painting is going to be in the Summer Exhibition @flowersgallery in New York City of work by @newyorkacademyofart alumni and students. It’ll be available and online soon! Swipe to see me varnishing it with Golden MSA varnish, which is by far my favorite varnish ever. I was turned on to it by @heathernotjerry from @jerrysartarama a few years ago! https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5P_WAFOcC/?igshid=2eyu79boojio
