How I made my own paint


Hey lovlies, I'm back from a beautiful break where I sketched and painted using different media - always interesting and sometimes frustrating as you can imagine. This time, as well as the inks I love to sketch with, I took along some gouache I had had languishing in my studio for years ... and I loved it! So of course I needed more gouache, more colours!


Here's a short video showing how I made my own gouache, and what I love about this unique paint.





Like playing with paint? join me for The Art Class online autumn term, starts Wednesday 8th Oct for 8 weeks, 6-7.30pm UK time.



If you're interested in making your own gouache and sign up the The Art Class I will send you a sample of Carrara to try... after all I do seem to have an abundance ;-)

Curate your art, Curate your life

Art is so much more than a pretty picture

The art that we choose to have on our walls, in our living space, has a direct influence on our feelings, mood, and energy. Conscious curation of content that we allow in our thoughts, homes, and lives has never been so important.

Or, as I like to say - Curate your art, Curate your life.
