I am so excited that you're here on Dina Wakley Media blog hop day! Today we're celebrating the release of my acrylic paints, mediums, and brushes, made by the awesome Ranger Ink.
My paints are thick and creamy, heavily pigmented, and they spread like butter. My brushes have a long handle for both easel and close-up work, and have a stiff bristle which I love for dry brushing and scrubbing techniques. I love both the paint and the brushes, Ranger did an spectacular job of making my "dream" paint and tools!
I have gathered a group of wonderful artists to celebrate with me. Is this an all-star group, or what? Be sure to hop over to their blogs and leave them some love:
Dyan Reaveley
Roben-Marie Smith
Mystele Kirkeeng
Dawn Sokol
Julie Fei-Fan Balzer
Nathalie Kalbach
Kirsten Varga
Traci Bautista
The best part about today? You can win one of TWO complete sets of my paints, mediums, and brushes! Simply leave a comment on this post and I will pick winners by random draw. (One comment per person, please.) I will draw winners on Sunday, June 1st. Spread the word!
Whether you just need a few swipes of color, or whether you want to make a large painting, my acrylics are perfect. I love them. Look at the incredible color in this background I made. I keep looking at it and I love it too much to do anything else to it (and holy cow, I used red AGAIN in a background...heh):
Here's a page I did with a painted background (the glitter is Ice Stickles by Ranger):
And here's a page done with my stamp sets All the Gals and Textures:
And a collaged page with lots of paint layers in the background:
So hop along today and get inspired! Thanks for celebrating with me!
Wow!!! Two sets!? I would love to win one of them of course! I have been looking ALL over and haven't been able to locate these DELICIOUS, beautiful paints! I even asked for them for my birthday, and we couldn't find them.....
Thank you Dina, for offering this sweet hop surprise!

Omygosh how cool! Wow, if I won, I'd definitely try some mixed media watercolor effects and share all of my newfound knowledge!
Posted by: Gina Kim | May 26, 2014 at 05:04 AM
Gorgeous colors! I'm especially intrigued by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's comment that they dry more matte so art journal pages aren't as sticky. \o/ I'd love to win a set and share them with my mother, who's also very into multimedia. One upside of moving back in with my folks is that we get to share our art supply stashes!
Posted by: Rebecca S | May 26, 2014 at 05:06 AM
Congrats! I recently got the black gesso and LOVE it! Hope to try more soon...

Congrats on your new fabulous line of dynamic paint and supplies. I teach Boys and Girls Club classes and this gift would give the kids a chance to explore journals and layering of texture,form and COLOR! Last year we had a photography instructor do a layout of their modeling...this would compliment the same project this year. I will be stocking my box with your products...BRAVO!
