Hi Tammy, thanks for your visit and comment:) YOu received some wonderful cards. I look forward to LYA every year.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned monoprinting and that is a really fun process. I took a workshop and the artist used water-based oil paints. Although turpentine wasn't needed for clean-up, the chemical scent of the paints was still too much for me. I switched to using acrylics. This video shows the process pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKF-HPo68m4
Thanks for sharing, will check out the acrylics video soon.
