your horses are so lovely.
your thoughts on play do seem important to explore and discover endless possibilities.

I love this! I am a very ‘realistic’ observational sketcher and recently found your amazing work through an artist friend. It’s fantastic, and you inspired me to try drawing from the imagination, something completely out of my comfort zone. I signed up for Magical Inkdom, and I am having so much fun! Thank you Paivi!

In reply to Nark. The acrylic paint does adhere to the plastic very well. I am scraping the soft pastels to get powder out of them. By spreading that powder I can make soft gradients of color on the top of the paint. The acrylic paint doesn't need any fixative but the powder does. You can add layers of paint, then add powder and fixative, and then paint again, then add powder + fixative and thus create several layers that work together.

me again – why are you “scraping” because the paint does not adhere to the plastic?
and when done,, do you spray on a finish to protect the paint?

I have to ask my great grand children if they have any “plastic” animals etc that they no longer play with….. Im hoping maybe a dinosaur – but most of these things here are rubber. You do such wonderful fantastic art thank you for sharing.
