I’ve been on a gray kick lately—and I don’t mean my mood! It seems like soft or deep cool grays have found their way into every corner of my life… my studio walls, my clothes, and now, my pours. Creating a gray monochromatic pour might not seem very exciting, but there’s something very classy about …
How many times have you seen an advertisement for a miracle pill that promises to magically cure, prevent or treat a serious condition? Imagine paying $100 for this pill, expecting it to perform.

I’ve seen other artists in the Acrylic Pouring Facebook Group talk about fluid acrylics. Naively, I assumed they were just referencing acrylic paint that …
There are a lot of opportunities for selling on the internet. Instagram, Facebook, Etsy, eBay, even Craigslist—if you’re looking for a place to sell, the digital marketplace is vast.
