After feeling I had lost my painting mojo the last few weeks, it was so great to spend the weekend painting a design I have loved by Vicki Nicholson.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\"glazed-grapes\"<\/div>\n

What I really loved about painting this design was that it is painted with acrylics which I love but with many, many glazed layers using the addition of Jo Sonja Glazing Medium….no solid colour anywhere!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\"glazed-grapes-closer-c4\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The colours are gorgeous and work so well together throughout the design. \u00a0I now love Brown Madder, a colour I have had for years but barely used…to me it’s more a gorgeous red, \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"glazed-grapes-closeup-c2\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and Paynes Grey, a colour I often use (it’s more of a blue) which when mixed with the reds produces gorgeous purples.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Hope you love my piece as much as me…am off into my studio to start a mixed media piece now…art is so diverse….LOVE IT.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Happy painting…<\/span><\/div>\n
