Art in Bloom was designed with you in mind...
Take a beautiful journey created to provide you with skills, offer inspiration and build your confidence with painting in oils!
Does this sound familiar?
It’s so hard to say I’ve finished a piece. I never quite know when to stop.
When I’m mixing colors, I always wonder if I’m going to create mud?
I find myself holding back and overthinking every little thing. How can I get in the zone?
Oh, and this one is said the most…
I’d love to start creating more, but I can’t seem to figure out how to fit it into my schedule. How do you do it?
“Everyone can find their inner artist, given the safe space to learn and express themselves.”
You can recapture that spirit within you that approaches painting, and learn new techniques with a child-like sense of freedom. Art is joyful, and when you release yourself from the pressure of expectations and just have fun, the challenges shift from overwhelming to exciting. So if you are new to oil painting or you are a seasoned painter looking for new technique inspiration, this is the course for you!
Introducing Art in Bloom
An Online Floral Oil Painting Course
What makes Art in Bloom different?
Introducing a six week course that is a beautiful journey through six different floral oil painting lessons where you can learn my process, my paint mixing techniques, how I keep vibrant color and fresh brushstrokes, all within a supportive environment where you can learn and grow without judgment.
Lesson 1 — Tulips, about simplicity, complimentary color, setting up a productive painting workflow and looking for the big shapes of color.
Lesson 2 — Sunflowers, about being confident, values (how dark or light a color is) and premixing colors for cohesiveness.
Lesson 3 — Daisy, about clarity, both in your thoughts and in your process, hard and soft edges, depth and letting the unexpected happen.
Lesson 4 — Hydrangea, about color and how it infuses life into your painting.
Lesson 5 — Iris, about being intensional, about carefully chosen detail and negative spaces.
Lesson 6 — Peony, about finishing touches, taking risks and being fearless.
I had the honor of attending one of Kim’s two-day workshops last fall and it was an exemplary experience from start to finish. Kim’s attention to organization, planning and preparation as well as lovingly providing each and every student with individual support throughout the workshop allowed me to build my confidence in oil painting. Kim took the time to break down instruction into bite-size pieces. Her step-by-step instruction set up a learning environment where all students felt successful and were proud to show off their art—not to mention we had lots of fun connecting with other artists! Kim is passionate about sharing the joy of painting beautiful florals in oil and imparts this same feeling on to each and every student. At the time, I wished that Kim would venture into sharing her talents with a global audience and now I could not be more thrilled for Art in Bloom! Her students are in for a fabulous six-week artist journey from a master oil painting instructor. –Alexis
In this six week course you will paint six floral oil paintings along side of me, and you will learn how to:
- Break down the painting process into simple steps
- Mix colors with confidence
- Paint with loose, intensional brushstrokes
- Get rid of that inner critic
- And, most importantly, enjoy the process!

As a lover of art and all things colorful, I immediately fell in love with Kim’s gorgeous paintings and incredible palette. As I started to collect some of her paintings, I found her Instagram painting class and fell in love with painting myself! She is a true master of color and has helped me immensely on my journey from art enthusiast to collector to painter! –Ellen

Meet Kim, your new art teacher!
Hi! I’m Kim, artist, educator and joy spreader. I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. The sound of the art cart coming down the hallway in elementary school has always been a fond memory for me.
A native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I earned my BFA in Communication Design from Kutztown University and have owned TCG Design in East Petersburg for more than 29 years. Even though I am in a creative business, something was always missing.
After the last of my three children became more independent, I was drawn to pursue my love of painting. Now I paint every day, rising before the sun. Committing to this daily practice fits perfectly into my busy life. Over the years, I have developed a consistent style in my painting, and a never-ending joy of creating art.
I have been hosting painting workshops for several years and found I really enjoy teaching and the art community of new friends I’ve found along the way. Creating an online course was a natural evolution, especially now, and it’s a dream come true!
I absolutely love learning from Kim! I have taken two in-person workshops with Kim. Watching Kim paint is so mesmerizing, as she uses values, temperatures, and beautiful colors to make her paintings so dimensional and fresh! Her style of teaching is sincere, relaxing, and genuinely caring. She explains all her techniques as she demonstrates her painting. She inspires you to be fearless with big brushes and vibrant colors and to loosen up your painting. She teaches you how to mix colors, which, in my humble opinion, no one is as fantastic at as Kim. She finishes up with bold, intentional brushstrokes that make you say WOW! Kim’s classes are stress free and fun! She will help guide you, answering all your questions, while still letting you create your own painting in your own style. Always encouraging and never criticizing. When you paint with Kim you know you have found a true friend. –Anita
