playing in the studio & UPCOMING workshops...

Thanks to everyone who came out to A Work of Heart last night. I had a great time painting, catching up and chatting about my art process, sharing tips and ideas. If you missed it, follow me on twitter, to find out the latest updates for my Creativity Unleashed open studio tour.I'll be at various studios around the bay area in the coming months.

some painting fun...a few pics of some of the paintings I started last night...

{techniques for the base layers. these are the first layers of many to come...}

TOP: graffiti print on parchment. monoprints with transparencies using scribbles of TULIP dimensional paint in white and red paint.

BOTTOM: fabric sprayed with Tulip Fashion Sprays and buzz and bloom chipboard. I HEART buzz and bloom. I've been using their heavy chipboard shapes as stencils and masks for backgrounds.

PAINTING ON TOP: part of my new graffiti GLAM girlz series. scrapes of paint. dabs of paint thru sequin waste. girlie glam face drawn with a sharpie. i only used the three primary colors and white paint on this painting. many more layers of markers, pens and paint will be added to this...
