This year I have decided to create my Fine Art pieces using new paints. I have always loved and used Artist's Loft or Liquitex acrylic paints, but recently I have found myself using a brand called GOLDEN. GOLDEN Open Acrylics stay "open" much longer than regular acrylics, which means they stay workable and moist for a longer period of time. For this reason, Golden Open Acrylics are great for plein air painting, wet-in-wet techniques, and blending to create smooth transitions of color. These paints also have an extremely high pigment load, which means the colors are bold and intense. Fluid acrylics flow smoothly and evenly from your brush, which is ideal for creating uniform brushstrokes.
FEATURED COMMISSIONED FINE ART
As the demand continues for my Fine Art work, I have had the wonderful opportunity to create some beautiful commissioned art for my collectors. Most recently two collectors of mine blessed me with the opportunity to create a Joanna Gaines portrait. I had never heard of Joanna prior to this request, but I submerged myself into her world and became truly inspired by her interior designing skills. This couple themselves had been inspired by Joanna and their reaction when they received their painting was priceless. The joy that arose from watching them open their painting, fulfills me and is exactly the reason I continue to work as hard as I do.
