Susan Wimbley demonstrated the many uses of a water-based product called Gelatos.  She brought examples of her mixed media works where where she used these color sticks for everything from accents to creating most of the painting.  She showed us how to use them multiple ways from using the stick itself to using a brush to pick the color as you would on a pallet.  She used it with stencils, stamps, towels, cloths and with sponges showing us the results of each while explaining the technique.

Susan was a delight to watch as her energy made her presentation invigorating and challenging.  She left us with a feeling of renewed creativity to work with something new to most of us.  Thank you Susan.
