This is a fun technique that Carol Nelson shared with us in her workshop last spring. Carol, who is a "Golden Artist" as in Golden mediums and gels, is versed in techniques you and I have never thought about. She is truely creative and a very charming and sharing person.
Carol developed this technique when she looked at her palette one day and thought it was as interesting as the piece she was working on. So....she figured out how to turn her palette into a piece of art! This is the first technique she shared with us in her workshop and it turned out to be a fun project and a great ice breaker!
She probably wouldn't mind if I told you how to do it, but I don't want to let the cat out of her bag. Only Carol can tell! Here is a
link to her blog. I know you will enjoy it and if you search through enough of her posts, she probably tells her secrets. If you get to go to one of her workshops, I guarantee you will have a fun filled and informative few days with her.
Please pin it!

"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, dividing my time between painting and teaching in my Colorado studio. Having painted on most every surface imaginable, at this time I work primarily on canvas, board, and paper. Though my style remains quite diverse, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist, as I am most definitely an "action painter". Each painting is a journey , dictated by primarily by my current thoughts and emotions, be they happy, sad, peaceful or frenzied.It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share.
