2019 was our best show ever! Our numbers were way up and I believe these were the reason:
Flosstube
Quality of designs released (people had been waiting patiently for new angel designs)
Quantity of designs released
Economy (everyone I’ve spoken too have an amazing show)
Here’s a video of my thoughts on Market.

Hey friends! I’m (finally) painting the commission paintings for a sweet Michigan gal who recently purchased a beach house in Florida. She commissioned me to paint 2 very large (30×48) coastal angels to hang in the main hallway of her new Florida home. I just got started on the first one yesterday….well painting that is. I have already covered both canvases with scrapbook paper and have the angels drawn on to the canvas, but I just put the first layer of paint on Coastal Angel 1.
I went live on my biz Facebook page while painting. I plan to go live for most of the painting process for both angels so go to my FB page and “like” , “follow” and turn on the notifications so you’ll be notified when I go live again. Hope you’ll join me! You can do so here.
By the way…WIP means “work in progress”. Thanks for stopping by!

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”

“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.
Welcome! The vision for my blog is to share my life & creativity, give a more in depth look into my YouTube videos, show my creative process, announce new products & patterns and hopefully inspire you to live a creative life.
