Acrylic Paint Skins

Acrylic Paint Skins

“Wow!  I might have just found my new favorite thing 🙂  When I first watched the videos, I thought, “What’s the point?  How is this different from just painting another layer on top of my work?  Why go through the extra time and materials to create skins?”  But I gave it a shot because I love playing with materials.  The effect is WOW!.  It is like making my own painterly stickers to put on top of my work!  I prefer the skins to layering deli or tissue paper.  I even enjoy the built up texture of when the skins stick to themselves and clump up.  There is a luminosity to the skins that is unlike any other paper-based collage element.  I have a bunch of paints that I bought a while back that I don’t really use. Can’t wait to make some more skins!  Thank you Julie!” – Molly
