I’ve switched to acrylic paint lately to see how it works on Ampersand Claybord panels. I like its staining properties and the textures created when I remove partly-dried paint.

In addition, I’m using interference and iridescent paints to provide interesting color effects, which can be seen when you move from right to left. These paints also provide 3-D texture at full strength.

Come to Fall Festival to view them in person…the photos don’t catch all the fascinating nuances.

I have been experimenting with iridescent acrylic paint on Claybord lately and like the watercolor effects on the clay for the underpainting and thicker shiny pearls on the top layers.
