Welcome back, I always enjoy an intermission with your art posts, a great little break from my usual addictive diet of psychotic government nonsense reporting.
Oh, thank you Charles! And I know what you mean about the nonsense, that was my hope in starting Visual Coffee Break - to give people a place to refresh!
Wow, this is so cool! I'm always amazed at how you turn the seemingly simplest idea (a stencil) into so many different ways of doing things! To me, a stencil is something you tape on, paint over, then remove when the paint is dry...to you it's just the starting point for a whole range of different techniques and approaches. I count three here (stencil, mask, ghost print) without getting into your processing after the fact (enhancing the images with lines, making lanterns, cards, etc.) How do you come up with all these ideas?😀
I think the combination of the plastic Yupo paper and the full strength alcohol ink gives it that look. Thanks for stopping by Michael, I so appreciate it! I love following your series, so interesting. Also I am going to undertake your pastel tutorial soon. 😌🙏🏽
I just saw your video post on YouTube. I appreciate your work and I think you have aged wonderfully. How old is your substack photo? You were beautiful then and even more so now Ms Cynthia.
Just gorgeous, lovely colours 💙

WOW!! I love these!! Gorgeous colours. And I love that you made them into lanterns. Can you share pics of them lit and aglow at night?
Hi Jacqueline, thank you! And yes that will be in the video I drop this weekend!
Oooooh goody!!

absolutely gorgeous, big TQ for sharing :-))
Thank you so much Mary-Lou ☺️

Wow Cynthia, these are amazing!
Great to have you back, BTW ☺️
Thanks so much Stone, I missed a lot and am glad to be back too. I hope you feel better soon!
very nouveau could just imagine the green fairy wormwood absinthe drink there somewhere.
That’s a stunning technique, looks powerful with an enamel-like feeling.

Oh my substack photo is about 7 years old. I need to change it!
Aw thank you so much Tom! My substack is a year old now! I started it in April ‘23.
beautiful, they look a little like batik
Nice work!
Interestingly beautiful, cheers!

Glad to inspire the imagination! Absinthe is something I’m not likely to try; I hear it’s quite the experience tho…🐲 🧚
Thank you 🙏🏽 😌
