I love trying new things, especially when putting together a new body of work! One of the new things I tried for this recent show is dry pigment — its color without the acrylic or the oil mixed in. I found a way to work with it that I like. You may want to try it too.
Check it out!
It’s a bit messy, but I love the powdery mark this makes. Spray fixative works well to seal the mark. What’s so cool is you can mix the dry pigments to create your own colors as you would with paint! Give it a try!
Have you used these before? Let me know in the comments.
I’m SO excited to share that the Creative Breadcrumbs Challenge is back! Join us on September 9th and 10th for this free live online event. We focus on getting clarity about where you want to take your art. Breadcrumbs is open for anyone at any level of art making and it’s one of my favorite things to do! The Art2Life team will be there, we’ll have surprises, and I really can’t wait for you to experience this! Go to breadcrumbschallenge.com for more info and to sign up!
And this week on the Art2Life Podcast, Cherie Healey returns! We share thoughts on how to engage all aspects of your life to optimize the way you live. We’ll talk about the Art of Leadership Retreat and much more. Check it out this Wednesday wherever you stream podcasts or watch it on our YouTube Channel.
Have a great Sunday,
