Hi Everyone!
OMG! I didn't wake up this morning until 8:45. I NEVER sleep that late. However, I have not been sleeping well at night so maybe this makes up for it. LOL I feel heavy headed though, I need to get my work out done, that always makes me feel better. What morning routine gets you going or makes you feel good? Let me know in your comments
I have a few paintings that I am working on that have different kinds of texture yesterday's post was actually a commission and was highly textured with molding paste. Today I have this one that is textured with glass beads by Liquitex. If you have never tried this I encourage you to do so. Other companies make this texture but I find that Liquitex is a better product.
This is still on the easel and should be finished today.
Here is a close up of the beads.
This photo was taken off of google and I thought is would show better
maybe if you click on it.
These are truly small glass spheres mixed with an acrylic gel. It is semi gloss when it dries. I have worked with this medium for many years on my leather sculptures and it dries perfectly.
Create with passion, create from your soul, allow the art to encompass your feelings.

I like the colours and diagonal flow of your painting!
Are we joined at the hip, or what?! I can’t believe you have done with glass beads exactly what I was trying to figure out how to do! I was once into teddy bear making, and tusshy sitting weight was provided by tiny glass beads. I have a ton leftover and thought I’d try making texture on a painting with them. The difference is, however, my glass beads are loose. So I’m still figuring out how I might use them without static taking over and my floor ending up with tiny sparkles everywhere! 😂
Wonderful canvas,love all the textures. I did have a pot of this and it was fab. Have a great day. x
PS, I love your painting, it’s really beautiful!
I have tried some Liquitex textures but not the beads. I like to get a few little jobs done in a morning then get on with my arty/crafty things. My daily fix I call it.
I've heard of that product, but never used it. You got some incredible results. I especially liked seeing the closeup of the beads.
My routine is all messed up. I have no routine. I'm usually sleeping when others in the states are awake and awake when my European friends are awake.
Hey Nicole, been a while. 8:45 is nothing for some people, they sleep 'til noon or even longer. I know it's hard to believe or understand that. I like your beads art! :)
This looks amazing Nicole! I have a pot of that glass bead gel, must dust it off 😊
Such a cool painting! I LOVE it!! I have my green tea every morning and I also do my stretches and a little work out!
