Cappuccino Book: What A Little Color Can Do
When Hahnemühle came out with the Grey Book I wondered if they’d eventually make a tan version. Well, that’s the Cappuccino. I thought I couldn’t love toned paper more but I was wrong. I also thought grey toned paper was my favorite, wrong again. Who knew? Maybe it’s because of the name. You all know…
Meet The Warthogs!
Ohh, these were such fun to paint. I used my Schmincke palette to paint them. Yes, the warthogs were a little intricate to paint, layer upon layer, getting the shadows below the warts to show up. But they were ridiculously fun and who wouldn’t love to introduce a couple of warthogs?? How I painted those…
Spring Whisperer
I can’t help it. I love painting daffodils in spring. It’s a curse. It’s funny though, a few years ago I remember seeing my friend Serena’s sketchbook. She had drawn a daffodil that I fell in love with. I was stunned at how dimensional it looked. I tried back then and couldn’t draw one. Now…
Heralding Spring In Cappuccino Book
I’m so sick of being cold. Ya, really over this winter thing. I live in the West Coast of Canada and winter is kind of a hardship here. We just don’t have the resources, let alone the mittens, to handle cold weather! I want Spring. Right now. I demand it. So, I decided to draw…
How I Paint Glass
This is my latest ball jar painting. I love painting glass. It’s ridiculously fun. I remember when I first started painting. I looked upon other people’s art where they’d captured the beauty and transparence of glass. HOW did they do that? It looked so complicated. Well, it is and it isn’t. Now that I have…
New Product: Zig Zag Book By Hahnemühle
Did you know that there’s a new accordion-fold book by Hahnemühle coming soon to Wet Paint Art? It’s called the Zig Zag book and Wet Paint is letting you pre-order it. I was so excited to hear about this new offering by Hahnemühle, I’ve always been fascinated by accordion-fold, also called fan-folded books. I love…
