A few years ago, I created the “Angelic Strokes Tutorial” where I teach the techniques I use to create my angel collage paintings. The first tutorial I used craft paints thinking it would be easier for students to create their painting without having to mix paints and use them straight out of the bottle.
I never dreamed some of the craft paint colors would be discontinued but unfortunately that has happened and the inventory of those paint colors are dwindling making it difficult for students to find the paints needed for the tutorial.
So….now I’m introducing “Angelic Strokes II”. In the new tutorial, I use standard colors that can be found in most paint brands and teach students how to mix the paint colors to get the color they need…..which is WAY more valuable.
Students that already purchased the first tutorial will automatically have access to the new tutorial. PLUS, there’s a bonus lesson with a second angel called, “Maker of Them All” (pictured below).
BONUS LESSON “Maker of Them All”
Here’s a short clip to show the quality of the video lessons and to see the style in which I teach.

“Fear Not” 20″ x 20″ x 1.5″ acrylic painting on cradled board. ©Teresa Kogut, all right reserved
“Fear Not” is the last Kogut Studio Uncut lesson. I’m no longer offering the bi-weekly lessons because I want to work on new tutorials and e-courses and I just didn’t have the time with planning, painting and uploading the Kogut Studio Uncut lessons every other week.
Anyhoo, Fear Not was a challenge for me….if you watch the video at the end, you will see why. The original sketch was something I’ve had in my sketchbook for a couple of years and was drawn very small….about 4×4 inches. I enlarged it to 20×20″ to paint the lesson. It became clear to me after spending quite a bit of time painting the face that the head was just to big for the body and her face wasn’t very proportionate so I painted black over the face and started over! Sometimes that’s the best thing you can do.
Once thing before I go. I started a new YouTube channel called Teresa Kogut’s Creative Whims. It’s going to be a weekly “newsletter” of sorts. I will be sharing what I’m working on in the studio including cross-stitch, punchneedle, paintings and whatever else I may have my hands into. So please join me there for weekly updates. I’m doing give aways and other fun things so make sure to subscribe and also click the little bell next to the subscribe button so you’ll get a notification when I upload a new video.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
Teresa

This week I went live on my business Facebook page (www.facebook.com/teresakogut) and created “Ashleys’ Guardian”. It is to be donated to fundraising auction in June. The mix media painting was painted over scrapbook papers on cradled board and measures 18 x 24 inches. I added a special touch to this painting….the heart on her choker is painting with shimming gold paint
She’s been in my sketchbook for over a year now when I sketched 40 angels over the 40 days of lent. I thought she was perfect for the donation.
Here’s a bit of information about the organization from my friend Melinda Brawner:
“NGA is the name of the 501(3)c that I belong to. We donated over 27,000 items in the Genesee county community in 2017, mostly for young children. We support Catholic Charities Center for Hope, Crossover Downtown Outreach ministries, Old News Boys and The Hurley Foundation. At Hurley we purchase hats for Peds Oncology, clothing for the NICU, and clothing for the ER. Recently we added our receipts and found that we generally pay .16 to .20 cents on the dollar . Our organization has 35 members. We are anxiously awaiting our annual auction and Teresa’s beautiful angel painting! 50 percent of our funds come from our annual auction.”

From my Instagram post “Needed to get this out! My florals are such good medicine for me. I have no plan. I have no limits. I just go for it. I paint with wonder and vigor…. just letting go and see where inspiration takes me.”

Tilly the goat came to life yesterday from my sketchbook. She and Wilbur the pig became fast friends. I really enjoy painting these quick & cute farm animals in between larger, more sophisticated paintings. Hope you enjoy!

“Tranquility” is an acrylic painting on 10″ x 20 x 1.5″ cradled board. She is the 2nd in my “Beauty Birds and Blooms” collection. I really enjoyed painting her. This is the first painting where I’ve combined my figure painting with my intuitive florals. I will continue this collection until I have 10-12 paintings finished or until my show….whichever comes first. However, I will be taking next week off from painting for the collection in order to paint three commission angel paintings, which I will also share with you here.
Thank you for being here and sharing in my artful journey. God Bless!

Her name hasn’t came to me yet as with most of my paintings, the title reveals itself to me after the work is done or close to being done. Just wanted to show you the work in progress (WIP). She’s coming along nicely and hope to have her finished tomorrow. Planning to add a couple of birds, too!
Blessings,
Teresa

Anyone who has followed by art career knows I like to paint a HUGE variety of themes & subject matter. Is this a good thing? It’s up for debate. I know it’s important as an artist to build your brand so that when someone sees your work out in the world they can say “that’s a (fill in artist’s name) painting”.
But I’ve never been known to follow the rules of the art world. My business name Teresa Kogut’s Creative Whims, Inc. says it all, right? I paint what inspires me at the time. I don’t put limits on my creativity. I don’t want to be pigeon-holed into painting one look or one muse. I let my “whims” guide me, so, yes, I’m kinda all over the place with my art…..but that’s me.
I’ve had Wilbur and his farm friends in my sketchbook for a while now and I decided they needed to come to life! Wilbur’s friends will be joining him soon.
Wilbur’s also a painting lesson at Kogut Studio Uncut. For more information about KSU, visit www.gatherdreamcreate.com/uncut
