Jacklyn Karabaich : Secret Garden

Secret Garden

I think I was in information overload today?

I watched a few hours of How-to videos, to understand "how to" work with acrylics?

It didn't dawn on me that everyone is using fluid acrylics, and I am using heavy body acrylics!

So that is why they aren't responding the way they do in the video!

My favorite book. I love the colors here and especially that part that resembles part of a paisley. Fluid vs. heavy body would make quite the difference.

A Little About Me

As a military wife, I had the opportunity to study classical oil painting for three years while living in Europe.
I lived in a small town surrounded by the Belgium countryside. During this time I also learned scenery painting with the local theater group.
When I returned to the United States, I re-enrolled in college and majored in Fine Art.

I have always been fascinated with painting, I remember being in an artist's home when I was about six, and "really looking" at the paintings wondering "how" they were made? This sense of wonder about painting has held my attention all-of-my-life.

Today, I still study painting daily, and continuously look for inspiration for that next painting!
