About barbaraburns

I'm an artist - I work in watercolors, India Inks, digital pixie-ons & fabric dyes. I generally use 140 lb watercolor paper or silk fabric.

I create graphic designs using Adobe PhotoShop & Illustrator and Corel Painter.

I love digital painting because it is easy, fun, there is no paint or brush cleanup mess and allows me to be even more creative using layers or airbrushes with a pen tablet.

I love tube watercolor because it is quick drying & fun to blob paint on paper but my watercolor pencils are pure magic - sketch & go - I can sketch out an idea, put a little paint on it and magically I have a completed painting. India Ink is a lot of fun too whether using bottles of ink with brushes or the PITT Artist Pens to quickly sketch paintings full of movement and emotion.

I hand paint silk scarves using Fabric Dye Markers to sell locally and at local art shows / venues.
