Make a Circle Scarf

Repurpose an old sweater... cut off the bottom about 15 inches wide... that's it!

Wunda Size

http://www.prismaticpainting.com/detail.lasso?product=GS006&type=Size

This WATER BASED SIZE has almost no odor to it and is cold water cleanup. This size will not discolor your surface but does not level out as smooth as the oil size. The water based size will tack up in 15 to 30 minutes and will remain tacky for transferring up to 4 to 6 hours depending on environmental conditions. It is a worthy alternative to the Rolco oil based size when applying a foil treatment.

Please note that Wunda Size is weather sensitive and CANNOT FREEZE. We recommend that if you are buying Wunda Size during the winter months (12/01-3/31) you have this product overnighted. If you are looking for a substitute for this product we recommend that you try Rolco Slow Set Size for equally satisfying results.

Start with Terra cotta and do frops of it on random places on the glue

Things Nancy Reyner Acrylic paintings

A brief interview with Santa Fe Abstract Acrylic Painter Nancy Reyner, author of Acrylic Revolution an acrylic techniques book.

What was the medium you were pouring on that painting Nancy?

It was probably Golden's GAC800, since that is the only one I use directly out of the container to pour. It doesn't need any diluting. The other mediums I like to use for pouring are Golden's Clear Tar Gel, and Self-Leveling Gel - but both of those need some water to thin before pouring.
