Back in 2009 I was contacted by Carmen Torbus to be included in a book she was working on.
I'm excited to share that her hard work has been born and is now available for ordering!!
In my contribution I share one of my favorite techniques
for achieving texture and color variations in acrylic painting
as well as book covers like this.
I am sure you will recognize a number of the 15 included artists
as some of your favorite fellow artist bloggers!!
For a complete list, and links to their blogs,
you can visit Carmen's blog and check out her side bar!
Beautiful. This work always inspires me.

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing us to share in your joy of this awesome accomplishment! You go girl! Now I will have to go out and get a copy :D
I just discovered your blog and YouTube videos today and am in awe! Going through a new reality of my own - learning to deal with fibromyalgia I couldn't be more excited about finding your mandala book tutorial. Lately everything in my life has become stuck or unglued in many instances, especially my art so I am going to get started on my own personal mandala book to help me work through my own issues. You are a sweetheart for sharing this beautiful technique and I can't wait to get started!
Congratulations again on the book -you deserve every bit of fame that may come your way!
Hugs from your latest follower :D
