Pearlescent liquid acrylic inks (in sun up blue & hot cool yellow),
shiva oil paint sticks in turquoise and cadmium yellow,
gelli plate (perfect for adding luscious layers to backgrounds),
long handled, square brushes,
liquitex acrylic inks in pyrrole red and yellow orange azo,
handmade papers (and anything with feathers or gold sheen),
and liquitex spray paints (in turquoise and florescent red).
Can you see my current color palette? I’m just loving primary hues these days, especially turquoise and yellows.
What are some of your favorite art supplies and colors?

ps. For more color inspiration and lots of painting, all of my online classes are now available as self-paced courses. Payment plans are always welcome.

After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading

Turquoise (of course!) and the Tompte Red are two favs and I have Purple Sage, Cadmium Yellow and Chromium Oxide Green on my wish list. I also have the Liquitex spray paint on my list, after seeing your video I must try them! Thanks for all your inspiration.

Hi Juliette,
Love your work! Where are you finding the pearlescent liquid acrylic inks, the liquetex spray paints and the gel printing plates?
