New Projects

I have a few new projects in mind currently...one I've begun by starting layers of paint and pattern on a couple of dozen canvases, a second was started on 12-7x14 inch canvases plus I am about to begin working with non-toxic paints which will require a bit of a learning curve for me. The product is Natural Earth Paint which is pigments ground from natural stone and then hand mixed using walnut oil and eco solve (a natural thinner). The pigments are harmless and can even be mixed for watercolours and children's paint and face paint. I'm a little nervous to switch from my tried and true acrylics but also excited as I have wanted to switch to organic products that were still professional for many years. I want to stretch my own organic cotton canvases again and have contacted my old alma mater (Red Deer College) for the home made gesso recipe to prepare canvas as well. I still have some paint and canvses to go through but am looking forward to the new year. Wish me luck!
