Researching and experimenting with art materials, new and old, continues to be a huge source of inspiration for me. I am currently learning to make etching varnishes. I am starting to paint with lavender oil in an attempt to reduce my use of petroleum based solvents. Last summer I was able to buy new Daniel Smith watercolour paints, which are amazing! I regularly grind oil paints by hand and prepare my canvases with traditional materials such as rabbit skin glue and tempera-based emulsion primer.
