This charming Umbrella Girl in Red is a colorful fantasy and a fun acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas painting. The painting has a sponged background and a wonderful texture. It will be an eyecatcher and will look stunning anywhere you hang it! You can hang it as is or with a frame of your choice.

Dynasty® Brushes: About Theresa I have lived along the Connecticut coastline all my life. I love New England’s four distinct seasons and the beauty they bring. Recently, I have become what is affectionally known as a Snow Bird and live in Sebastian, Florida for the winter months. I love to travel and I incorporate those sights and my life’s experiences into landscape, seascape, and yesteryear’s paintings. I also enjoy painting a softer side of Halloween and a more whimsical side of Christmas. Using my imagination, and with a treasure chest of incredible memories from my life I go into my studio where at the

Helpful Hints: Wear latex gloves, because you’ll be picking up loads of paint and sponging it onto the canvas. It can be a little messy. I keep baby wipes close by, too! To do sponging, moisten the sponge first in cool, clean water, and then squeeze out almost all the water. Pick up a generous amount of paint on the sponge, and dab, dab, dab it onto the canvas, covering the area you are working on entirely. As you pick up more paint, blend the colors together using the same technique until you like the way they look. Using a lot of paint on a sponge will create texture. Sponge the center of the canvas the lightest and the sides the darkest. Don’t rush the brush… oops… sponge! Let the paint that you have sponged on the canvas dry well before proceeding. (If you’re in a rush, you can use a hairdryer, but I think the paint dries nicer when you leave it to dry overnight.)

Bella Fleurs Perfume
by Diane Trierweiler
Painting World Magazine
This is a perfect painting for a bathroom or bedroom. You can also paint it with a different color background, and it will still look stunning. I painted on a piece of birch plywood, but you could also paint this project on a canvas with great success. About Diane I have been painting for about 40 years. I first started painting in oils in the fine arts. My love of painting evolved into watercolors and acrylics. I also enjoy teaching people how to paint, so 32 years ago, I opened a shop called the Tole Bridge in Norco, California. I teach classes all year long in my shop, and I have a full line of painting supplies. From there, I began to teach decorative painting as well, and to publish books, magazines, packets, and DVDs. I also travel-teach throughout the United States and Canada. The joy of painting has allowed me to meet many wonderful people and to share my passion for the arts.

Crow Tombstone by Debbie Cole, CDA
Painting World Magazine
As we were driving past an old cemetery last fall, I saw a crow sitting on top of a tombstone, and immediately knew I wanted to create a design for Halloween with this concept. When I saw the surface from Creative Arts Lifestyle, I knew I had to use this surface for my design.

Please refer to this month’s Innovative Corner article for in-depth instructions on how to use colored pencils. To create the texture on the large tombstone, it helps to lay the colored pencil on its side, and use a very light pressure on the stone. Also, if at any time the colored pencil will not show up or becomes shiny, apply a thin coat of UltraMatte Varnish to give it back the tooth it needs.
