I am happy to share with you some experimentations I did for my ColourArte video project, using fabric hardener (from the brand Paverpol) to create these colourful bowls. They are easy to make and require really few supplies.

I decided to cut it into two projects, to make it easier for you to see the differences.

Here are the videos:

In the first version, I decided to mold the bowl first and then paint it. Clear gesso was a good helper to make it able for the canvas to take on the paint.

I kept it simple but fun and used vivid colors of Silks glaze paint for it.

For the second version, I painted the canvas first and then created the bowl. I can’t say which way I prefer because they eventually end up creating two different vibes. I guess, however, that this one is “easier” to achieve. We just have to remember that the ColourArte products will more or less react to the Paverpol (that dries clear, by the way, even though it is white when wet).

I hope you enjoyed and that you leave inspired to try it out !

This week, in my video for ColourArte, I am bringing you a fun little DIY project. You can make it for your home or even as a different gift.

For my next mini class, I will share simple ways to create themed ornements, so this was a good try for me regarding this. It does not take much effort, none of the sphere is exactly the same as the other, and you won’t find them in your neighbor’s tree (unless you gifted it ahaha).

I used plastic spheres because this is what I had on hand, but you can of course use glass ones if you prefer.

I wanted to show you three different ways to take the ColourArte’s products into a new level, but without being intimidating. These three ornements are very original (in my opinion).

When it comes to non-porous surfaces, clear gesso truly is your best friend to prepare it for whatever medium you decide to play with, this is why I coated two out of my three spheres with some. Plus, for you the texture junkie out there, it is a good excuse to start building some out there *wink wink*.

The first one is made with clear gesso, then Radiant Rain sprays.

The second one was clear gesso, but then painted with a very dark color (Payne’s Gray from Dick Blick) and Silk Glazes.

The last one was really fun to do because I got to use my Gelli Plate with coffee filters (but tissue paper would do the same) and some Silks, I show you how to create your glaze with Primary Elements as well.

As you probably now, October is the month for breast cancer awareness. And as many people now, this is a shitty illness that touched women very close to my heart.

I wanted to honour them and their strength. The battle. The fear. The winning. I hope you will resonate with that painting, that is not exactly what I usually create but it needed to come to life and to be shared. I may sell some prints of it, if people are interested of having her in their home (if so, please tell me).

I used both Twinkling H2O watercolor and Silk Glazes for this project. Once you start creating with them, you will find out there is nothing like these products on the market. They are unique and gorgeous.

Here is the supply list:

Extra Heavy Gel Medium	Mini Catalyst Blade 01	Blick Matte Acrylics	Alcohol Ink- Bottle	Alcohol Ink- Cloudy Blue
