Can you tell me if Red oxide fluid interference actually exists? I was unable to find it at my art store or online. If not what should I use for the yellow acrylic beeswax look? This is from page 100. Happy New Year, Jill Hey, thanks for your videos and book- exactly what I’ve been looking for. Can you tell me if Red oxide fluid interference actually exists?

I am an artist and live in Rotorua New Zealand. Your book is great. Very much appriciated, I realised today that I carry it every day from my house to my studio, it doesnt leave my site, it must have been a big job to put some order in the fast amount of new technieks available to you with all the new gels, mediums ect. Thanks Patti Suggestion To reduce down the searching for an specific techniek a quick reference list in the back of the book with traditional terms (watercolour with the acrylic formula(s) recommended to achieve it.) I would like a standard panel or a reference page were I can quickly find the options available or a poster I can hang close to my easel. I was raised up with oils and created my mediums with all the different effects available to me from venetian terpentine and dozens of other commercially available (secret effects) used by the old masters from to boiling up my own wax medium all these effects would now be achievable in acrylics I would love an addition to your book that would explore this angle. I wish you all the best for the new year as you have made my one a lot easier Regards Paul Nicolai Hi Patti

I am writing from all the way downunder (New Zealand) and have only today checked out the Golden website and found you. I am a fan of Nancy Reyner's artwork and I am now very keen to grab a copy of your book (which I will source from Amazon). I love the energy you create with your artworks. I am a self taught artist painting for some six years now and am always keen to explore more in depth the acrylic and gel mediums. I have also only begun to paint with Golden (unheard of here in NZ until fairly recently)! I have a question and I am sure you can point me in the right direction..... where, oh where do I find a template (stencil) like the one you use in the Golden video? I am about to attempt to make my own but this will take some doing! Thank you for your art and your inspiration (I shall be taking myself back to my studio now that I have my mojo back)! Bye for now - love reading your blog by the way. Hi there Patti… I am writing from all the way downunder (New Zealand) and have only today checked out the Golden website and found you.

Hope you are getting some rest. Yep, the level of understanding around DMM is growing expoentially (sp?) I am loving all the cool questions and knowing nods I'm getting in lectures now. Where will the artists in the Lectures lead us next? I can't wait to find out! And I'm sure Golden will have the answers! Hey Patti:

I've already been recommendinging it at the local art store where I met fellow artist, Bonnie Cutts at a Golden workshop last year (and she is coming back this spring). It was fun seeing some of her work in your book. Thanks for posting these clarifications on your blog. One thing that I love in your book is the detailed process. It makes it easier for me to adapt to my own work. Congratulations on a wonderful book. Hi Patti,

Patti, I was browsing at Borders and saw the new book--of course I had to buy it! I just wanted to tell you that it is wonderful. I am so glad to get some new information on using acrylics--thanks for working so hard. Hope to see you in Lisle in the summer or maybe at NAMTA. Best wishes for the greatest success with many new editions and additions. Take care. Diana WOW- it was a great year! Patti, I was browsing at Borders and saw the new book–of course I had to buy it!

Your enthusiasm was infectious and I was thrilled last year to learn that you were writing a book. Your book far exceeds my hopes and expectations. I have always been rather experimental in my approach and your book further opens the door to new ideas. My sister is new to acrylic and I just purchased a second copy for her. She is thrilled and even a little overwhelmed at the possibilities that acrylics offer. I was especially pleased to see a whole chapter on my favorite subject...acrylic transfers and digital grounds. I have been experimenting with transfers for about 10 years and have felt very much on my own. I love to see how other artists are using the current technologies. My copy of Digital Art Studio is well red and dogeared now. Any chance that you might do a whole book about digital techniques? I would love to know more about which printers you have used. I am currently in the market for a wider format printer. Thanks again for the FABULOUS book! Sharon Hi Patti,

I was happy that I was able to see the digital grounds in real life. As I mentioned, it's hard to explain the concept of being able to print on something other than paper (in this case, w/ cheesecloth) to some and I was happy to bring home a sample. Thanks again!
