About Kevin

I've been a professional Artist for 40 years. It's more than a job, it's my passion. I have lots of beautiful and interesting things I want to share with you! Step into my studio and I'll show you.

About this Blog

I started sharing "in progress" posts of my artwork on social media, and I found that people love watching the artwork take shape day by day, with detailed explanations. So I made a blog to expand the ways I can share the process of creating art.

Artistic secrets
The stories behind the portraits
Fun projects you can do
Roeckl art on new products
Contests, surveys, drawings, and other fun stuff I come up with to include you in the creative process!
