Happy New Year Everyone! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday, and a safe, happy New Year Celebration.
I much appreciate being able to take a little break from blogging the month of December, and focus on family, and making Christmas perfect for our kiddos. Now I feel revitalized and ready to get back to painting, blogging, and just plain having fun!
Today I thought this video from YouTube would be a great start to the new year. Ginger Cook is doing this one, and I really like the way she takes it step by step. She describes her process in a way that beginners, and seasoned painters alike can find helpful methods for using color, texture, and dimension alike to explain her process.
It is my hope that everyone will find something they can use in this demo.
It’s good to be back, and look forward to another wonderful year of Stone Soup!
One of the most fun things I have ever done is pouring paints. This I started when my watercolor days were front and center. I had more fun pouring watercolors, but pouring acrylics is even more fun because acrylic is a chemical of sorts, and mixing it with other chemicals causes a reaction in the paint, and it is amazing to watch! I once took an experimental art class, and it was fun mixing alcohol, acrylic, latex paints all together, and the reaction was awesome.
Today we are pouring skins. There are so many things you can do with a skin, it’s crazy I tell you. I think the kids would have fun also, maybe as a together project. The only thing is the skins have to dry before the kids can handle them. Other than that, you’re good to go! I think this is one of those projects that once you get into it, you won’t be able to stop! Just make sure the flexible plastic you are pouring on will release the paint once dried.
