I have been taking etching lessons for the past two years.

I continue to research and try out art materials, new and old.  I am beginning to make etching mediums from bitumen.  I am also starting to paint with lavender oil in an attempt to reduce my use of petroleum based solvents.  I recently was able to get much needed new watercolours and experience pigments I have never used before.  So exciting!  

Contact me for lessons if you are interested in learning about how to:

-Prepare a canvas with rabbit skin glue and handmade primer

-Paint fat over lean in oil paint and use painting mediums

-Make pastels, watercolour, tempera and oil paint by hand

-Create thixotropic paint similar to that which Rembrandt used to create impasto textures

An attempt at making Ivory Black pigment -

I achieved a color which I am calling Burnt Buffalo Wing Brown
