Natalie ~ The Super Heroine!

This is my 3rd acrylic painting. 

I used Faber Castell's Glass Bead Glitter Gel and I was not impressed. I need to try it again another way. I tinted it with blue, so maybe next time I will just spread it on as is and see if it is more noticeable. I also used Pebeo Prisme Fantasy in Violet for the background and blue and gold interference paint for highlight on skin, hood, and hair. Interference paint is extremely cool, it changes color when you move it and it is kind of iridescent.

Art Supply Review: 6 Gouache Brands Comparison

  Gouache Paint Review Gouache is the same as watercolor because it is a water-based paint, except it is not transparent, it is opaque. Watercolor and gouache can be used together. Gouache should dry to a velvety matte finish. It can sometimes look creamy and chalky. Gouache could appear like an acrylic paint, but it reactivates when you add water to a finished piece like watercolor. Acrylic paint does not reactivate, it dries to a strong plastic-like finish. Gouache is often used in watercolor paintings as a highlight, or to fix a mistake, or an alternative to masking.  Gouache Brands Links: Lukas Studio Gouache Savior Faire Gouache Holbein Irodori Artist Gouache Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache Artist's Loft Jelly Gouache Arteza Paint Tubs (Jelly Gouache) How I will judge the gouache I am testing? 1. Do they offer the usual basics like Blue, Red, & Yellow? Or modern color theory options like Magenta, Yellow, & Cyan? 2. How do they swatch? I am looking for opaci...

Selfie!

I have to be honest, I would take a selfie in Wonderland. It wouldn't be a shocker if the Cheshire Cat photobombed my picture. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass was my favorite story  as a child. I loved the idea of going on a journey,meeting strange characters and going on adventures. It is not much different from my adventures in NYC. I met so many fascinating people whether or not I was compatible with them. I miss living there and all the cultural activities. In the suburbs of Long Island it can be bland, but I am surrounded by beautiful landscapes and the my tiny village has 3 art galleries and most of the stores and restaurants show local artist's work on the walls. I have come to love the area of the island I live in. Also we have something NYC does not, cute cafes and fireplaces inside the libraries! Heaven! So this is my tribute to my favorite story and my love to coloring books. I still till this day love to color with crayons. =) Wonderland Selfie...
