Posted on June 26, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

Tools: Sparkling Paints

Posted on June 17, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

Tools: Gouache

Posted on June 13, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

I’ve not given gouache a real chance to woo me, so I decided to play with some very old gouache before I purchased better quality tubes. When I moved into watercolors, I enjoyed them for their transparent washes, so gouache, … Continue reading →

Tools: Schminke Supergranulating Paints

Posted on April 28, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

☾ I wanted to try Schminke’s Supergranulating paints. I liked the idea of two or more pigments that separate through granulation when painted. I bought nine of them, along with Schminke’s pan set “Wintertide” of 10 basic colors, plus two … Continue reading →

I Stand With Ukraine, 2

Posted on March 10, 2022 by dkatiepowellart
