Creative Heart Monday - Leap of Faith (Trying Acrylic Pouring Again)




Happy Creative Heart Monday!

I love watching other artists created beautiful poured pieces.  However, I've just never had good luck with mine.  I don't know if it's the paint.....the ratio of mediums to paint.....or what!

Never one to give up easily, I'm giving it another try.  In the past, I've used the "dirty pour" method.....dropping each paint color mix in one large cup, the turning it over on the canvas.  This time, I'm just slinging the paint around and swiping it here and there.

As you will see, I did actually manage to get some cells this time.  My colors leave a lot to be desired, but I just might have the mixture down.

Here we go..................




Supplies

24" X 24"canvas
Two 8" X 8" canvases
Miscellaneous craft paints
Floetrol
Silicone
Miscellaneous items to move paint around











Check out my Etsy Shop.  I've just listed a lot of new pieces that would make perfect holiday gifts for friends, family, teachers, and co-workers.  There are many small, stocking stuffer, pieces!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Enjoy your friends and family.......and......try not to talk about politics. LOL.

PEACE!

Creative Heart Monday - Courage and Believe Wooden Panels






Happy Creative Heart Monday!

I'm still working on inventory for my next show on November 11th and 12th.  I know that my last few Monday videos have been sort of similar, but I'm under the gun with this festival and I just can't make anything that's not going to be sold there.

I've also almost finished my October "Inspiration with the Greats".  I started my Georgia O'keefe painting early last  month, but just haven't had the time to put the finishing touches on it.  I promise that I'll get that up soon.

Okay...enough about my time constraint issues.....here we go



Supplies

8" round, wooden panels
Acrylic paint
gesso
scrap paper
acrylic ink
Matte Mod Podge
Charcoal pencil
Alphabet stamps
Archival Black Inkpad







Have a great Monday and a wonderful week!

PEACE!
