Acrylic Illuminations: Reflective and Luminous Acrylic  Painting Techniques
by Nancy Reyner

I just picked up this book by Nancy Reyner (visual artist) this past weekend. It is a great read on acrylic painting techniques. I thought that this book presented some interesting techniques on pouring, metallic effects, and creating optical and luminous effects.

NEW WORK | Take a look at me now

Phil Collins had a popular song in the '80's called Against All Odds. The song had a great line in it "take a look at me now" that I used as the title of this post. As a fabric artist for the past ten years with FabricWorks Studio, I've realized a dream of mine which was to start painting.


I've love painters for the longest time and have been studying the lives of famous painters since I was a child. My favorite artists are Monet, Kandinsky, Kahlo, and Van Gogh. Recently, I've begun tracking African American abstract painters such as Norman Lewis.


I've wanted to experiment with painting abstracts on canvas for a few years now but just have not gotten around to it. Finally, I've been able to begin a daily painting practice.


So, take a look at my abstract paintings HERE.
