Lemon and Sunshine

My name is Amber, and I am here to create unique art, teach you my techniques, and encourage you to create!

Welcome to my channel. I am so happy to have you here! I create textured floral artworks using a heavy textured acrylic paint, lovingly referred to as Gaffrey paint after the creator Justin Gaffrey. Here I create a variety of cool and always one-of-a-kind pieces and the best part is I show you every single step. Come along, ask questions and let me guide you down the addictive path of using heavy textured paint and VIVID colors to spice up your life!!!!

I am using heavy textured acrylic paint from Gaffrey Art Materials. Buy it here!

    I'm a cake decorator/acrylic artist and I am trying to figure out how you transferred the flower from nail to canvas? In cake decorating we just freeze the flower and then place it.
