...itching to work...

recently, i had to travel up to the petco in seattle to drop off some supplies for the northern instructors. i decided to kill some time by going to the ac art supply shop on the same block. that place is HUGE!

i grabbed a couple tubs of golden acrylic medium to get some inspiration. i got fiber paste and heavy gel medium in matte. i'm not much of a glossy kind of gal.

the fiber paste looks like loads of fun! i am planning on using it for pastel works on canvas instead of a ground medium. it will be a bit of an experiment. i may even try using neutral colors mixed with the paste to create a nice primer for the canvas. i am really getting into the idea of urban cityscapes...especially at night.

i have used the heavy gel before on a few art pieces. i think i am going to go for 3-D, using the medium more as a glue to hold different natural objects to the canvas. looks like it's time for a few nature hikes and beach walks.
