Today I am using two colors that will be blown into each other for a base color, and will then be puddling blues on top and blow the colors across the canvas. The piece is nature inspired, and this design went for a zig-zag pattern. You will see how the colors infuse and merge to create such beautiful tones.
Thank you for being here today. Welcome to all newbies and a big welcome back to those of you who already know me and my work. Great to have you here with me.
