Plein air painting is the best and I’m glad you’re back out there! This is so vibrant and full of light!

Wow, that’s so interesting that you created heavy body paints with cornstarch, Wayne. You got such a nice result with that beautiful still life! I’m getting frustrated with my fluid acrylics but it’s my own fault because I don’t have every color in heavy body versions. I wonder how well the...

That’s beautiful Anne! Maybe you’ll need more of that paper.

Very nicely done!
