What type of medium do you use? They are pretty outstanding. You have lots of imagination. How long does it take for you to do a painting like this? Where do you get your inspiration and which artists do you follow? I am really interested.

Deb – I just love this – it is so vibrant – what medium did you use?

First layer acrylic inks into a gesso spotted wet surface. Then tube acrylics, then texture pastes. Then gels, working into the textured surface. The finally a coat of dilute impasto gel to seal it all- the inks rewet if unsealed. When I do another with this technique hopefully I can remember to photograph the stages and put a step by step up on my website!
