Painting with acrylic medium is like frosting a cake! A Birthday Cake!

Puttin' On My Gouache's.
Color, coverage and Gouche. Painting with gusto. Yay!
Gouche- The name derives from the Italian guazzo, and is also referred to as opaque watercolor or bodycolor.
And, ORANGE is the new pink!

Making Friends With Acrylic
Finished project for an exhibit in spring.
The exhibit will be with Artists In Action in Los Gatos titled
'3X8'
The challenge is to select 3 items and to sketch and work these items over the next eight months, in many combinations of ways.
Why a challenge?
We must use mediums we are not familiar with,
using a different perspective and methods that you do not usually use.
In April the best of 3 will be selected for the exhibit
with the original photos shown next to the work.
An interesting and valuable challenge as an artist.
I have attached my piece and the photo/muse #1.
Love the color, texture and interesting lines.
(using heavy molding paste, crackle paste, fiber paste and glass bead gel)
not because I had to...LOVE learning how things work and play together.
Lots of possibilities with the gel mediums, but still learning to make friends with it. ;o>
Image #2 will be gray scale, sort of 'drafting meets acrylic transfer' image of a glass box in a hexagon shape and shell top and mirrored base. It's a beauty, tough to sketch.
But before that, gotta get back to my watercolor and pen.
This is what I love to do.

btw- Grateful for the Cronos plug and thankful to be one of the first to have this used in my cervical discetomy surgery. (commonly used in lumbar surgeries until now)
One of the first who has shown bone growth at such an early stage.
Result of many prayers on my behalf.
Thank you!
