Blog by Michelle Geromel talking about love and passion in life and in art. What is an Artist’s Medium?| 05 February, 2012 20:00
Sometimes people look at a painting and try to figure out how so much texture got added to all or parts of a painting. Artists can use a variety of things to mix with paints and create texture in work. These types of things are called mediums. Some examples of homemade mediums include wall paper paste and caulk. Some, like caulk, because of their heaviness are used best on wood based paintings. Others, like wall paper paste, can be used on canvas without bowing the art in the middle over time. Artists can also buy mediums specifically made to interact with and adhere to paint and canvas to create depth in our art. These are either designed to either be mixed with artist’s paint, or painted on top of to create various effects. The consistencies available range for the very coarse to the very smooth. In the painting above, I used layer after layer of a gel like medium to create a glossy, 3-dimensional heart on canvas. (And yes, getting it to stay in that shape until it dried was a bit tricky!) The medium was at times mixed with paint, and other times not, until I got the effect I wanted. The result is a raised glassy heart on the canvas with gold color trapped inside. What is your favorite type of medium to see or to work with?

I've been plotting how we can get away for a few days at the seaside, but between various committments it doesn't look likely till the end of November and that just seems far too far away!home insurance | 25/04/2012, 01:53 Maybe it's the time of year?

Love the pink mitre saw. The Handy Goddess and assistant Tina put Bob Villa and master carpenter Norm to shame. Also, I cant believe youre not turning down marriage proposals (and other proposals proper and improper) left and right.
