In this video, I start by picking a card from my Art Poetry card deck, and share a few decks by artist Cathy Nichols. I show you what art I've been working on since my last video, and an example is the Protea theme where we drew proteas on paper, and painted them with watercolour.

I show you some shadow box style frames from Micheals Canada that I like to use to frame some of my artwork or giclee prints on paper.

I selected a Royalty free image from Flickr, of an Iris (Iris Alberti), and I show you how I transfer the image using black carbon paper onto my watercolour paper. I then show you how I use white transfer paper to transfer the flower image onto black toned paper.

I do some painting with the transfered images, using both acrylic inks and watercolours.
