This has been a wonderful workshop. I have always struggled with acrylics. They always looked so plastic and flat to me. I decided to experiment using alcohol inks as shadow colors over the highlights which are painted in acrylic white and titanium buff. I like the look. The inks seem to be much richer. I am going to transfer on to gesso primed vintage linen and make a fiber piece from this image. LOVE this process!!
I am a California girl....well, I was born in Pittsburgh but moved to California in my early twenties and stayed for 30 years. I moved with my guy to Charlotte, NC in 2010 and had no idea what a life changing event was ahead of me. My current career as a print designer for the apparel business came to an abrupt end and I had to get my wits about me and figure out what I was going to do the rest of my life. I started painting and never stopped and now I am teaching. I love the creative process and I love sharing it. Life is sweet!!
