drj2athome OFFLINE Posts: 640 Thank you received: 3	just finished watching the new video. It was great. Wish she had discussed specific paints but I am excited to try. I do have dynaflow paints and have some cotton and silk to paint on. I think I'd like to use salt on the silk,"cause I liked that effect with one color. Loved her painted patchwork. Jan

I've had a go and what a mess I got it everywhere

. I've learn't that less is more, I need a lot more water with my paint and some classes and different colours. I have cobalt blue and I think ultramarine is more up my street. Poor workman blames it on his tools

Good to hear there is a class coming and I'll look back at the other Rita. I'm going to carrying on playing and learning about mixing colour

drj2athome OFFLINE Posts: 640 Thank you received: 3	Guess what Wendy? They're doing a show on fabric painting on Nov 19th. So we can wait until then at least. I'm psyched. I may even buy paints and cloth after that.
