Sandra Duran Wilson

The senses become intertwined in the mind of the artist. Sounds appear as colors, numbers sing songs and frequencies dance in my head. Synesthesia is a crossing of the senses. The mixed media work represent a beautiful blending of sounds, nature and science.

I experiment, paints write and teach at my studio in Santa Fe, NM and across the globe. I also teach around the US, Europe and Australia. I am the author of five art technique books, several DVDs and my work has been featured in numerous books and magazines.

My latest book, Awakening Your Creative Soul was deemed an Amazon Best Seller and my online Creative Soul Courses have been a hit with artists globally of all backgrounds.

    Hi Sandra - thanks for the tutorial ... does this work with clear gesso?

  • @SandraDuranWilson
    @SandraDuranWilson3 күн бұрын

    @karenw8929 Well, the purpose of using gesso is to provide a white background, so if you want a transparent transfer, just use gloss gel.

    @@SandraDuranWilson I haven't tried the gloss gel method. I was just thinking about the possibility of layering images and the gesso would fix the previous layer making it possible to overlap multiple layers. But, I don't know if the method will work with clear gesso or not.

    @karenw8929 yes, it would work with cleas gesso, but if you really want it to be transparent do the same steps as the video but use gloss gel
