Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

Last night our art group had a demo with Multi Medium Artist Shernya Vininsky who showed us a very different technique for painting on matt board. She used Golden Fluid acrylics and laid out some of the colours on the matt board and then took a scrap piece of matt board to spread the colours. From there she took some cut outs of some of her horses that she paints and added it to one of the boards, painted it and then when dry removed it and added it to another matt board which she later added some definition to it. I was so thrilled with all the different techniques that I stayed up till 1:30am playing around with different papers and boards and paints, inks and water colours. After some of them had dried I added to different mediums to add more colour tomorrow. I will post some photos by the end of the week when everything is complete. Here is the link to her website:  http://www.shernya.artbo.net/ and of course I added this to my Pinterest "Inspiring art work"  http://p

The double-sided nature of the fusible web allows you to merge the layers on one side and then remove the backing and fuse the piece onto another substrate. Here's the technique. You'll need double-sided fusible web, acrylic paint, lightweight papers (lik

It is definitely marketing his products and although I was disappointed that there were no demo's available, I am sure knowing Tim that a product demo will be following shortly. What I was really pleased to see was people's art work especially the sculptures with what looked to be airbrushed outfits on the mannequins. Some of the products that I am really interested in are the "distressed dual tip markers" and can't wait to see if they will ever come to Quebec.....as if. I heard that Michaels is supposed to be coming here and maybe we'll start to see some competition for Omer Deserres. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-TiM1F7e6Y&feature=uploademail

I haven't done any water colours in a while and fell in love with it all over again. Here are some of the latest paintings I did. They are all done wet on wet with watercolours paints, inks and airbrush paints, water colour pencils and then when dry detailed with my new markers "Artline 200 which is a .4 point.
