Because it depends on what look you want as well as what paints feel most comfortable to you. In the video, I compare 5 different acrylic paints: [...]

Artistic collaboration is a fantastic way to spur growth and creative exploration.  When Kirsten Reed stopped by for a visit, we wanted to create together with a twist.  After we completed each layer, we traded canvases.  Working layer by layer, our styles collided and crashed and pushed us each out of our comfort zones in the best [...]

I’m Prilled to share my latest guest post over at CreateMixedMedia!  That’s not a typo…but I am prone to typos.  I am using Prills on a Gelli® print as I share how I embellished and built up a print.  Check it out over at CreateMixedMedia.com!

I’m a huge fan of Susan [...]

I’m playing it fast and loose with a stencil and paint on a junk mail envelope. It was the end of the day and I wanted to use up my leftover paints.   When time is short, anything within reach is fair game for me…and this was what I grabbed! When I go loose…there is usually [...]
