Endless Art – 1

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012

ART is beyond any boundaries. One can imagine beyond the limits of sky
and enjoy the beauty of ART at all times.

Personally, I have experienced that and have enjoyed that throughout the
life. I have explored many forms of art like dancing, music, interior designing,
painting in several media, Cloth design and much more. There is no limit for me
and never will be. It is great comfort and joy.

Ten years ago, I saw the acrylic painting of One Stroke by Donna Dewberry, an
inventor of the technique. As an artist, I fell in love with it and wanted to
explore more. So, became certified teacher and now I thoroughly
enjoy teaching ART. Check it out on www.Alkasdesigns.com

The surface for the acrylic paints are many like: Fabric, Wood, Metal, Paper, Canvas,
Glass, Furniture and many beyond your imagination. It is easy to get carried away but
it is destressing. It has been meditative for me.

Expressing yourself through any ART form is rewarding physically, mentally and
emotionally. It can bring inner peace and joy forever.

Use of rubbing alocohol for your water color

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

Water is a great mixer for any media, either a water color or acrylics or
water based oils, or mixed media art. Similarly, rubbing alcohol has varsatile
usage with art work.

Although it has different chemical make up, it could be unpredictable just like
water. It does resist the water in the wash but it does soak up the paper and penetrates
deep.However, it can create and produce great effects for you. It can bring surprises for
you too.

For example if your wash is too dry, it will have no effect at all. If your wash is too wet,
the alcohol dropped in with a dropper will look wonderful for a second but will then simply
fill back in. Try using it with color and see the different effects it produces.
