Today I’m answering the number one question I get all the time. Why I use Liquitex matte medium and matte gel. I go into detail as to what it does, several different ways you can use it and how it compares to other similar products.

Then I use is in my project today to create beautiful transparent texture.

I also share my inspiration about spring and the glimpses of hope that I’m seeing. And how the seasons remind me of life.

I hope you learn a few new things and have fun watching the process, and always know that you are loved!
