One Stroke Style Acrylic Painting

Here is an older painting I haven't posted yet. This painting features acrylic paint on toned tan paper. I love the layers and streaky sort of variegation that you get when combing multiple paint colors on the brush at the same time! Strathmore toned tan paper holds a variety of media, as long as there isn't heavy water involved. The tan color sets off a painting nicely! ... View the Post

Watercolor Pitcher of Tulips & Process Video

I was inspired to paint these tulips from a lovely photo in a Daphne's Diary magazine. It had gorgeous flowers organically placed in one of those ceramic pitchers with blue flowers on them. It reminded me of something I would see at the Henry Ford Museum. I have always loved ceramics, and I have always loved flowers. :) This was fun to paint in watercolor with touches of gouache for opacity. ... View the Post

Bread Machine Pita & Video Tutorial

This pita dough is amazing. It is easy to work with and super soft! I just wish I had some garlic sauce. :) Check out the video for the tutorial, and the recipe card is below!

Mixed Media Art Journal Page

I had some ink and paint down on an art journal page in my Art Creations journal. If I'm not feeling creative or have extra paint from a project, I plop it down on random art journal pages so there is a starting point for a future art journaling session. I've used watercolor, inks, and oil pastels-basically, whatever was on my desk. :) These pages don't always turn out the prettiest, but art journals are great opportunities to practice and become familiar with various art supplies. ...

Gouache Floral Painting & Tutorial Video

Here is another painting on Strathmore's Toned Tan paper! I've used mostly HIMI gouache for this painting. I love echoing the colors of the flowers on the vase. I've cut this paper to a 5 x 7 inch rectangle to either be framed or used as a card. I've also created a seamless pattern that includes this floral, as well as some other recent paintings. ...
