Summer Time and it's Hot!

Golden Glow by Sandra Duran Wilson

I love texture that you can jump into. I created the luscious texture in the bottom portion of the painting using gels and mediums, like soft gel gloss and heavy gel matte. I don't worry about different sheens because I can unify them in the final steps. I also used heavy body paint to drag color across the peaks and glazes to get nice transparent layers. The entire painting was created on top of gold leaf. The upper portion has texture embossing and collage. Do try this at home.

All That Glows

 

All That Glows mixed media by Sandra Duran Wilson

This painting uses techniques from both of our books. The painting started with a gold gesso transfer. I sanded areas back and put on layers of glaze, then added dimension with molding paste put through a stencil.

When dry these were painted, more layer of glaze and there you go. Try it.

Time Traveler Future

This painting is my version of what a wormhole may look like as you zip through the space-time continuum. I have used glue crackle, plastic wrap, gels and mediums to get this other-worldy look. You can too. Check out the book.

Garden Path 10x10

This painting uses several of the techniques from our new book, Surface Treatment Workshop. The lower portion started with a transfer and then I did acrylic pours over that. The top had painted gampi tissue overlayed on top of the background painting. Some collage finished it off with a satin varnish to give it a waxy look.

She Gambled It All for Love

This 24" x 24" piece has a very large gel transfer, water slide decal, stained glass insert, vintage playing card, collage, and pearls. In addition, there are various techniques from the new book, Surface Treatment Workshop, such as crackle, alcohol and Elmer's glue.

The Book is Shipping!!!

Surface Treatment Workshop  finally is no longer a pre-order item on Amazon but actually in people's hands. Sandra and I are both thrilled about the finished product. It is really is a great for your art arsenal.

It was such a pleasure to do all those projects and really push ourselves when we did the variations.

You probably noticed that are web site is new and combines both books. We were going to do two different web sites but decided it would drive us nuts. There will be updates in the gallery sections in the next several months.
