ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #135:

You can create interesting linear effects with a Kemper Fluid Writer on Claybord! First I diluted white acrylic ink and used a pipette to fill the cup of the Fluid Writer. Next I removed the cap and tested the results on a scrap of paper before using the tool to make a series of consistent white lines on the Claybord. After this layer dried, I added multiple glazes of diluted acrylic ink.

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #134:

Intriguing effects happen when you let gravity assist the painting process! First I lightly primed raw unstretched canvas with diluted gesso. After this dried, I tacked the canvas to the wall and used paper cups to pour a series of acrylic glazes; each layer had to dry before another could be added. To vary the shapes, I pinched the cup’s rim to make a spout and changed the direction and angle of the canvas for each pour. I created the ghostly white shapes by letting the paint start to dry around the edges and then pouring clear water to wash most of it away.
