painting canvas

Early yesterday morning my studio looked like this:

I spent most of the day painting yards and yards of canvas fabric.  A very enjoyable way to spend the day.  Here's a few of the pieces I painted:

 

 

Now that these all have a base coat of color I'll go back to them and add more layers of paint and imagery.  I used my new favorite paint - Golden Fluid Acrylics on all of these.

While the fabric was drying I decided that I needed a new sketchbook.  I wanted a wire bound one so that it would lay flat when opened so out came the Zutter Bind-it-all.

9"x11" filled with 70lb drawing paper.  The  Thai marbled paper I used for this sketchbook  is from Hollanders.

Thanks to everyone who came by and watched my studio tour video for the QA open studios event.  Thanks for all your comments, I appreciated every one of them and I apologize for not having answered all of them personally yet.

I'm back home, and very grateful to have seen NOT the virtual studio tour, but the REAL virtual studio. Thank you so much for your time, for your generosity, for lunch, for your willingness to encourage an older budding artist. You continue to inspire and amaze. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love my new journal and your book. Looking forward to more.

Hi Sue

What a perfect way to spend the day :) can't wait to see how you use the canvas.

Isn't that Fluid acrylic paint fantastic. I only started using it a few months back and I love it too. Interference colours blend in with straight colours for even more combinations of colour ;)

Have fun, best wishes

Billie :)

BTW I ordered that trimmer :) :) :)

Great looking painted surfaces! I sure wish I lived closer so I could come over and use your Zutter!

When I need to melt away and not think about anything serious, I spend the day painting. I wind up with finished product AND it gives me a Zen feeling to take me into the evening and next morning.

Fun fun :D
