Commission Artwork 

I use 3 different techniques in my paintings. All art work is done in Acrylic Paint on Canvas. Impasto is what gives the painting a textured, 3D affect. Mixed Media includes Impasto, iridescent mediums, mica flakes, glitter, and/or Swarovski crystals.

Acrylic Paint

All of my art work is done in Acrylic Paint on Canvas. It is water based. I mix water to thin out paint and give it a watercolor affect or thicker layers for texture.

Impasto

Impasto is what gives the image an elevated 3D affect. I use layers of modeling paste and gel mediums. This application may take up to 24 hours to fully dry before applying color; even longer if adding 2nd or 3rd layers of paste for extra volume.

Mixed Media

Mixed Media includes Acrylic Paint, Impasto, iridescent mediums, mica flakes, glitter, and/or Swarovski crystals. Iridescent mediums gives a metallic and shimmery look. The final touches are Mica flakes, glitter, and/or Swarovski crystals.
