You know that inner child-artist inside you has been itching to get out
...maybe scribble on a wall or paint lots of colors — and just have fun?
So why not give yourself permission, and make art?
It doesn't have to be "perfect" - it doesn't have to be "right" —it can just be whatever you want, whatever makes you happy....
And remember — it's only paint! You can always paint over it!
It's Simple, Easy and Entertaining, and you can do it:
Without buying canvases and expensive brushes
With inexpensive materials and things you'd find around the house
At the kitchen table
In just a few hours
And when you’re through, you can share the results — if you want — with friends and family from afar on Zoom!
I’ll bet they’ll get as much of a kick out of it as you will!
I'm a professional artist and credentialed art teacher. I have...
Made art since I was 18 months old
Shown my artwork professionally for 25 years
Taught art to adults for 20 years
Taught high school before that
My art and articles about it have appeared in local, regional, and national publications: I've been interviewed for radio and television; and I've even had one of my paintings appear on a billboard.
That's why I want to share the joy of creativity and art-making as far and wide as possible. Would you like to come join me?
"I wanted to write to say how much I enjoyed yesterday’s class. It is refreshing to work from a program that is so well organized and thoughtful. Most of all, I enjoyed the freedom you gave us to play. Thank you."
— Cathryn O.
"Karen loves teaching and it shows. She is so generous in sharing her knowledge with students. She also is one of the kindest people I’ve known and… gives all she has to teaching others to develop their skills and find their own style. She is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring teacher."
"After taking Karen Lynn Ingalls's Abstract Landscape class today, I wanted to share what a dynamic, hands on, wonderful teacher she is. … She is a magnificent painter, but not all great painters are great teachers, but she is!"
"Your videos are quite useful even for me (I have been painting in acrylic for about 14 yrs now). You have a great way of explaining things and the filming was perfect. It seemed as if you were talking to me directly. Too bad I didn't have you as a teacher when I was first starting out."
— Krishna J.
"I've learned more about how to make a real painting in three hours than I have in three years."
