After my tie-dye pouring experiment I realized I had just enough paint left for another small pour. As much as I loved my primary pour I couldn’t help but notice that I was just two colors shy of having the entire rainbow, and who doesn’t love rainbows? Supplies I Used: in Cool White, Bright …
I don’t usually gravitate toward traditional colors, it’s rare that I’ll use more than one primary color in a pour. But this week, as I was walking through the paint aisle of the craft store I found several colors that were just really doing it for me. And yes, I do realize that green is …
I received a lot of comments and questions about my canvas choice during the process of creating my acrylic collage. I was pouring on the back of wooden framed canvas that I’d used for a project I wasn’t ready to give up on yet. I saw it one day, propped up against my living room …
