The Things She Could DoCollage, Acrylics,Oil Sticks and Stuff on Canvas
I can't get enough of working with the Shiva Paintstiks at the moment. They are so much fun. They're messy and tactile, and smelly, and they just seem like the kinds of supplies that serious grown up artists use.
I am so grateful to Kelly Rae for sharing her techniques and secrets at An Artful Journey. She didn't hold anything back, and I think it's an amazing act of generosity for an artist to share so openly. There's a lot at stake for people like Kelly Rae, or anyone who teaches people their style. You can read what Kelly Rae has to say about it here. Well worth the read.
