Milhazes acrylic paint collage technique

Fabulous work by brazilian artist Milhazes shows us in this video how she does her acrylic paint transfers.
I had a try at this amazingly simple technique this summer. It works! Now lets see when and especially on what will I use this technique?
Meanwhile enjoy the warmth of Beatriz Milhazes at work in her studio in Rio.

Contact paper in mixed media

After trying-out a transfer technique with contact paper*. I set-out to do 2 mixed media collage pieces with the intention of being true to the value of sensitivity.

* It's got to be the easiest transfer technique. It got me thinking in a whole diferent way about the use of contact paper ( the stuff anciently used by uber housewives to line their kitchen drawers ). The large beige cut-out shapes in these 2 pieces were cut-out from faux wood contact paper.
