collecting, assembling
September 1, 2010
I’ve been trying to overcome my disliking of acrylics. Many years ago, I used acrylics exclusively but at some point I became interested in gouache. Once I started using gouache, I never looked back.
However, I’ve been a bit frustrated by it’s delicate nature in some instances so I’ve been playing around trying to get comfortable with acrylics again.

I forgot how much I like glaze-y textures. I had a pretty inferior set to work with before (which only added to my aggravation with the medium)… the paints were nearly pigment-less in contrast to what I’m using now. I’m having fun experimenting & practicing when I have time.
Though time is not really something I have much of right now.
I’m trying to be (mostly) patient with my current projects. It’s really hard not to post little peeks of details all the time. In contrast to my feelings last month, I’m actually somewhat anxious to share now but I’m saving them.

Today a reproduction of Travel Beam is in my shop.
The prints turned out beautifully so I’m super pleased.
Hopefully I’ll be able to add my newest doll (see my previous post) in another week.
