So what does this photo and Citrasolv have in common…

This picture hangs in my studio. It is an old piece that was created with gloss medium that was thinned down and tinted with some acrylic paint to make a glaze. The sections that are multi color (on the photo they look like blobs) are made from re-purposed magazine paper. Yes, good ol’ Vogue Magazine. If Anna Wintour knew that her glossy pages had a second life.

But everyone asks how. I use CitraSolv- and orange based solvent found at health food stores, and in my home what I use to clean house and do laundry.

So I made a video to explain how it was made.

Enjoy-
