Laurie Culling, artist creating art as inspiration

Painting

From realistic to abstract... Laurie paints primarily in acrylics on canvas, as well as with watercolors and oil pastels on paper, and occasionally on fabric. She works in a variety of sizes, from miniatures, to average, to larger pieces up to 5 feet, and more.

“Painting with acrylics is a very sensual experience for me. I love the feel of brushing creamy paint onto springy stretched canvas. I use different techniques for applying paint. Along with brushing it on in a thick paste, I build layers using thin watered down paint, often spraying it on with a mister, to get interesting textures and color combinations. Acrylics dry quickly, which is a challenge at times, but is great for making changes. Wherever my art making adventures take me, I always return to acrylics, my first art love.” ~Laurie Culling
