Vase painting assisted by palette knife by Lynda Cookson

Although the main technique for painting this vase was acrylic pouring, the method is most definitely (by me) assisted by my trusty palette knife which guides the paint into parts I would like it to reach.

This vase is still upside down on my apple cider vinegar bottle as I can't move it until it is at least touch dry.

By the Water #1

by Janice Tingum

acrylic on paper

4.75 x 6.75 inches

Enjoy a cool breeze and relax. Breathe in the day. Ahhh.....

This original acrylic painting is inspired by the California coast. I used a mix of brush and palette knife work to create this colorful, impressionistic piece. It is painted on heavy-weight watercolor paper. It can be matted and framed or displayed as it is on a tabletop easel.

By the Water #1 is available for purchase in my shop at Etsy.

In addition to painting, I enjoy encouraging others in their creative pursuits and have written three ebooks with this aim:

• Creating Texture with Watercolor & YUPO Synthetic Paper
• The Beginner's Watercolor eBook: Start Painting Today
• How to Write an Ebook of Art and Craft Demos
