#TuesdayToolsAndTechniques has to do with painting. It's not the paints I'm talking about but gessoed surfaces. Gesso is like a primer and prepares the surface for paint. 

Surfaces

One can have a variety of surfaces gessoed. You can gesso the canvas by it self and paint on it like that. You...

Lipstick

#FridayFinds is, I think, an old #FridayFinds, but in a new way! Today, I am going to talk about Hourglass lipsticks. There is the newly released Unlocked Satin Creme lipstick, and the oldie but goodie, Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable lipstick. I love the one swipe and the ...

Sets of Colours

#TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is all about sets! Sometimes, an artistic manufacturing company will sometimes take say, their watercolour pans, and create a set of the colours. This is instead of, or in addition to, a basic primaries set with black.

Smart Sweets

#FridayFinds is Smart Sweets. And my, oh my, are they good. I found them at Costco one day and haven't looked back, as they are always in my cart...even with me watching my sugar intake. With only 3g of sugar, they make for a nice treat. If you can, buy them at Costco as they are more ...

First of all, May the Forth Be With You!!! (haha)

Today's #ThirdDegreeThursday question is a spiritual one. Hopefully you won't be too shy to not answer. It's a funny thing as most people don't like talking about it. "What happens after we die?" As for me, I believe I am a spirit... a spiritual bei...

Last Wednesday I went to the Dentist Specialist and I had surgery on a tooth. Like I've said before, they have mastered the pain management in dentistry, but have yet to master the sound (of the drills). It was interesting to hear when the drill met bone in my surgery! Needless to say, all went well...

Today's #FridayFinds is not something you can touch or see but it is something that is important. I did something new...in aims to push myself, in order to grow as a person. Today I was interviewed by Raimonda Jankunaite for the possibility to be one of 30 speakers at the amazing event called Women ...

Oh my.... the end of March; a quarter of the year is behind us! In my area of the world, kids (and teachers!) are in the midst of their Spring Break! I hear the birds singing, the dogs barking and the kids playing outside my window, and the sky is bright with a solid blue.

Today's Wednesday Win was about my FaceBook Live event. The event itself is great, as I am able to share art creation with others, and we create side by side. But what I am truly amazed at is that I am able, through my iPhone, 'telecast' a live event. I think this is amazing!

Today in our FaceBook ...

Does someone on your Christmas list want some watercolours? This set, that I am about to share, was a quality set that i had my high school students use. The set is called "Prang;" they sell tempera paint and watercolour sets (the tempera was of good quality as well). I used the Prang watercolour 8-...
