OPA: purple abstract
Title: purple abstractMedium: mixed mediaCreator: Max Pring This is a lovely little piece of abstract art. Purples and blues and very very sparkly; the scattering of gilding flakes gives a nice touch of contrast.

Watercolour butterflies
This 3D embossing folder faux cast iron tutorial caught my eye in a Pinterest email and, rather than just file it away as I usually do with these things, I actually got out my Big Shot, some black card, embossing folders and gilding wax, and had a play. This technique would work better with the… Continue reading Watercolour butterflies
Art card: Black Lace
When I started the process of creating this set of art cards, I got as far as placing this heart sticker (absolutely no idea where that came from) on a plain art card. The flourish is a metal embellishment that I had painted with gesso for another project, but it didn't get used and ended… Continue reading Art card: Black Lace

Wanderlust: out of chaos
Series: Wanderlust 2021 #26 Some of the Wanderlust lessons can be a bit formulaic — start with collage, add paint, stencilling, focal point, more paint — but so far they've all allowed for a lot of interpretation and adaptation and the teachers all have numerous other techniques and strategies in their own work. This week's… Continue reading Wanderlust: out of chaos
Art card: Blue Moon
The starting point for this card was a piece of an acrylic skin that I had peeled off a palette months ago and kept in my pile of scraps. It was just the right size for an art card and only needed a black background to sit on. When I did Wanderlust in 2019, one… Continue reading Art card: Blue Moon

OPA: afternoon walk
Title: Afternoon walkMedium: oil on paperCreator: Susan Bence I'd been following Susan on Instagram for a while when I decided to treat myself to one of her paintings. I love the intensity and depth of colour in her palette, especially her landscapes, and the way she uses sgraffito to add touches of texture. She is… Continue reading OPA: afternoon walk
