Blog

Hi Everyone, THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG! For the most part, the plan is to give you an update on what is happening in my studio. That could be about classes or something new to play with or a painting that I am working on. I would love for you to check back occasionally to see what is going on here.

The first thing I would like to talk about is a new paint. It is called Golden Open. I picked some up at the Upstart Crow in Ladner. It is still acrylic but it could take up to 36 hours to dry if it is by itself. I have limited colours right now and I am mixing the Open with regular acrylics. It gives you extra play time for blending clouds, portraits, water?? It dries a little slower, mixing the 2 and it seems to be enough for now. I have just done a painting with water running over rocks and I loved it. I also think it will be great for my yearly weekend painter's paradise in Peachland BC. July is mighty hot and this is not supposed to dry while we paint outside. I will let you know. It is nice to go back in my studio and it is still wet on my palette. That is about it for now, Linda
