Living on the Sunshine Coast is such a blessing.

I am so fortunate to get to walk my dog Cooper and enjoy all the beauty surrounding us.

Cliff Gilker in the fall is such an amazing place to spend time. The leaves, the light the trees, the waterfalls are so magical, a fairy land to play in.

Another favourite spot is Davis Bay with the sand, birds, logs and clouds.  If you are lucky you will see some whales or kite surfers gliding along the shore. Never a dull day that is for sure.

Sechelt has a variety of beauty with forest walks and ocean shores. I am never at a loss of where next to explore. The tug boats are entertainment as they carry logs or gravel or other types of materials. Our coast is a spendor with eagles over head and seals bobbing along the in the wavey shore line.

I hope you too are enjoying some beauty on our coast. There is truly some much to give thanks for.

Acrylic Pour Painting

 Acrylic Pour Painting

Last summer and this fall, I have tried a painting technique called "Acrylic Pour" I have to say this is very relaxing and freeing. It is a fun way to play with colour and not be stuck on creating something realistic.

Supplies that you need to do Acrylic pour painting:

• something to painting on like wood, canvas or paper 
• acrylics paint
• silicone or dish soap some people try
• floetrol
• pour medium
• water
• containers or cups to put the painting in 
• plastic under area to protect where you are working
• a tray to catch the paint

I made a video of this process so here is the link.

There are many youtube videos that show the steps as well.

Step one:choose paint colours that complement each other

Step two: put paint in a cup or a few cups depending on how you want to pur the paint on the canvas

Step three: pour paint and tilt the canvas the way you want to 

Step four: you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to help the cells form or use a straw to blow the cells

 

This is a pour painting on acrylic paper.

This feather painting,  I only poured in the middle.

This one I used a feather to make the designs.

I am selling these paintings for $25.00 each except the larger feather one which is $40.00. Message or email me if you are interested.

I have cards that I made with the acrylic pur on paper.

Each card is $5 or a set of 5 for  $20.
