LIQUITEX MODELING PASTES - Create a Creative Sensation in Your Artwork

Liquitex Modeling Paste is the brand I have used exclusively since I began painting original abstracts and contemporary art. I have never switched because I am completely happy with this brand and had no desire to switch to a competitor, besides from what I have learned, The price and the quality of this product compared to similar, competitive alternatives is a solid value.

I started off with one of the smaller sizes of modeling pastes in the beginning but it was a few days before I was bringing home their largest size, an entire gallon! I was never regretful for purchasing such a excessive amount at once, because I feel it's always better to have what you need on hand in terms of art supplies, so if you want to use it, and for some reason you don't have enough, you could have missed out on that creative moment when you can really create something spectacular simply because of the timing and the mood at that moment.

This product is worth having in your art supply closet, if you love to create. It comes in three types and many sizes although I recommend the size I have which is "The Gallon." You can't go wrong for a little extra money and you will have a supply to last many, creations to come and not have to worry about running out.

For 3-D forms. This modeling paste Can be textured when wet, and carved when dry. You can use many creative objects to form unique shapes and designs while wet. It usually dries overnight, unless you have really thick areas, then it may take slightly longer.

They Make Standard Modeling Paste, but also a Light Modeling Paste — This lightweight, airy, flexible, thick, sculptural gel is specifically formulated to be used in applications where weight is a factor. If you use by itself, it will dry to a matte opaque white that can readily accept staining if desired.

It will not exhibit "mud cracking." It is often used with texture gels.

Flexible Modeling Paste is a matte, opaque mixture of marble dust and polymer emulsion that is used to build heavy textures and three-dimensional forms on flexible or rigid supports.

The photos I have shown are an example of the cool textures and designs you can incorporate by using Liquitex Modeling Paste.  I know you are going to buy some? you could order right now using the link photo above and you could have it on your doorstep in a couple days!  come on and try it out!!!

Bob Rankin's Big Bad Brush - New Purchase


Recently I purchased a new Art Tool. I originally found out about it because I was watching an Abstract Artist's DVD and the artist, Bob Rankin, introduced his new invention,


"Bob Rankin's Big Bad Brush"
Here is more information about the Brush



The Brush That Holds No Limits for Abstract Painting!
Designed by Bob Rankin, one of America’s foremost artists and teachers! Big Bad Brush measures over 3” wide at the tip. The brush holds a large quantity of paint and distributes it evenly and quickly. Great for blending and wash techniques with robust design, allows you to exert pressure on your strokes with perfect bounce-back and performance.


The Big Bad Brush is handcrafted from select Chungking hog bristle with flagged ends to really grip color. The seamless brass ferrule is nickel plated for durability and secured with glue and finishing nails to stand up to extreme use. Handle features 5 matte grey coats with white stripes at the top and bottom and a black tip.


I happy to announce the brush has arrived and I am looking forward to using it on my next painting. When I first opened the brush package up I was suprised at how big it was. The DVD and the photos don't do it any justice. It is definetly constructed to appear very strong and long lasting. I will say that some of the hairs came out of the brush before I even layed it down on the counter.


I hope that won't be a problem when i start to paint.
Anyhow, stay tuned, I will update you on my opinion of this brush once my next painting No. 0087 (unamed so far) will be ready to be published.
Photo credits and description Jerry's Artarama... in case you want to go buy one!
By the way they are having a huge acrylic paint sale this week.

Art Workshops - Creative Catalyst Productions


I've had the extreme pleasure over the last 6 months to purchase several art workshop videos on DVD. Creative Catalyst Productions, Inc., has something for everyone who is interested in learning or mastering a certain skillset they are trying to achieve when it comes to any specific art instruction. There is a wide variety of videos/DVD's to choose from and you can preview them online at http://www.ccpvideos.com

Once on their website, you can search by skill, by artist and by Media when selecting your choices.

For me as a self-taught artist, it's important to be able to feel as if I am taking part in a one on one instruction when it's convenient for me due to my busy schedule. I like reviewing techniques that I have already been practicing and also to learn new ones.

Not only that but you will have access to art instructions by master artist/teachers at video prices. Prices average about $29.00 to $49.00 and here are some of the options to choose from in terms of media

You can use these links when you are ready to go directly to the videos under each topic
Acrylic · Acrylic Advanced · Acrylic Beginning · Acrylic Intermediate · Collage & Mixed Media · Craft Arts · Design Content · Drawing · Advanced Drawing · Beginning Drawing · Intermediate Drawing · Oil · Pastel · Colored Pencil · Watercolor

These art instruction videos & DVDs are a great resource in addition to collecting art instruction books and magazines.
