Right away, let me share the secret to mixing Patina Blue

Cobalt Blue + White + Yellow (a dot) = Patina Blue

Patina Blue is a popular color, and I like it! How do you mix it up? Hobby Lobby was having a sale, and here we are. Master’s Touch Thick Body Acrylic Paint is inexpensive, but it paints beautifully! I have been a Liquitex girl, but this brand is cheaper! I’m on a budget. Plus, it is always 40% off at Hobby Lobby! Why pay more when I can be happy with this paint?

Yes, I started using paper plates as paint palettes. I like holding the plate, and it reminds me of Suzanne Allard. I love her work! She uses paper plates and always encourages us to make marks and see what happens.

I also have a new journal book! This is a Strathmore Book. It is 140 lb and has lots of texture. I am using the Patina blue here. I will be painting white zinnias over this and working on the 4-piece digital art set.

Thank you for being here. Do you have a new product or something that you are working on that excites you? More about my projects in the coming posts.
