You guys!  I love the interwebs.  So many magical and generous people out there sharing their time and talent.  As you know, I've been on the road almost non-stop this month, so I've had plenty of airport time in which to browse the internet.  Here are four videos I thought you might enjoy as much as I did:

Marbling with Acrylics:

I particularly like how she bangs the canvas on the table to get the marbled effect to really take.

Tea Cup Cookies:

These blew my mind.  What?!  Those are cookies!!!!!?????

Decalcomania Glue Paint Symmetry Prints:

This technique looks easy and fun and I had never heard of glue paint before.  I'm wondering if you can get the same effect with regular acrylics?

Dendritic Monoprinting:

Can't lie, this video is a little slow to watch.  But, the technique is easy and exciting and I want to try it! 

Which of these video tutorials was your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

  • loved them all, but a baker I am not so I wouldn’t attempt that one. I will though try the others……maybe try plexiglass instead of real glass and try using a brayer to spread the paint….texture tools to add more interest….who knows where this could take me. Will definitely look for more videos on these techniques.

  • I am a baker. The tea cup cookies are amazing. Not sure I would give them a try, but some of the methods she uses are adaptable to perhaps some gingerbread men. Thanks for sharing.

  • All of the techniques are pretty awesome, but I’m more likely to try out the first and last ones. I’d love to try the cookie teacups but I’d be too chicken to attempt it – it just looks too complex for my skills.

  • Hi Julie: Thanks for finding these cool videos. On one you mentioned that it was a little slow. One thing that I have found with You Tube videos is to speed up the time. You click on the little settings gear and select speed. Then select the speed you want. Most videos can be watched at double time and still be understood. And that way you can watch twice as many videos!
