I paint the things around me, the things I know and feel, sometimes things that may be disturbing, sometimes verging on a dark humorous side. I try to evoke the enormous emotional force and beauty found within the human mind…..
Each one of my paintings evolves freely and independently.
I love the unexpected.
I have painted ever since I could hold a pencil, drawing and painting is a part of me and if I stop I am no longer myself.

I love this one. So many people strive for uniformity and perfection. I love a textured, organic feel so much better

These are beautiful ! TFS ! I must say for those complainers about your speech/grammar please pay no attention ,there are always negative people that have nothing better to do than criticize. Keep doing what you do🥰

I love the air bubbles! I made some large pieces for a mobile using colored plastic glasses and I had loads of air bubbles that made the discs really look cool. Thanks for sharing.

@katanyajason3316 6 жыл бұрын

It's the water in the glue or paint that causes the bubbles because steam forms as it heats up. If you don't want bubbles you have to wait for it to dry before putting the tiles in the oven. Also, make sure the windows are all open when you do this because the fumes are very toxic and you can't smell them! I did some outdoors with a heat gun and it worked ok.

Oh my....I've been wanting to do Sigrid Soto's for ages, but didn't have any cd's...now you are doing this, and I still want to do them, but now I don't have an oven!! Boo hiss. This looks awesome. Must go badger my mum so she'll let me use hers.... ;-)

Love this so much. Thanks for taking the time to do the tutorial. It's a very creative way to repurpose those unwanted CD's. I'm kicking myself though coz I threw out about 100 last year - freebies from old computer magazines. They would have been perfect for this. It's strange how you put on yellow and white and it comes out greenish. They really look like glass xx

Very good idea, brilliant. You mentioned on one of your video's last week that you may do an online tutorial for journalling? I got myself some clear gesso, gessoed over some oil pastels, but when I tried outlining my drawings with the white pencil that you use ....it pulled the surface off the page. I gesso'd it last night so it had plenty of time to harden?

@michellekralartist 7 жыл бұрын

thank you :)...oh dear! well you found the only medium that the gesso doesn't work well over! it really doesnt like oil pastel especially if you try and draw on top, oil pastels don't seem to loose their oiliness when dry and the water based gesso doesn't like to adhere to it very well so when you "pull" over the top of it with a pencil it slides off....sometimes it does't work over neocolours if its really thick :/ hope it didn't ruin your painting too much.

I want to do this but the fumes from the heat process are so bad....I guess you could put your toaster oven outdoors...but that air is already compromised. But, love this so much!!!

Really liked this: Question, How do you manage the paint for a more controlled effect? You described your paint as thick and sticky, What has been your experience please??

@michellekralartist 6 жыл бұрын

i think if you took your time to paint the discs and let the paint dry you will get a more controlled effect...i havent experimented that much ....

Carol Centracchio you can heat up a metal needle or knitting needle and poke it through

Or even a metal awl will work. Just heat it up and it goes through CDs like butter.

If you eliminate the word "um" from your vocabulary your vids would be shorter and more appealing. I can't get past three minutes. Be prepared, have a general idea what you will say and leave out superfluous words and actions. Just a suggestion.
