About Sally Lynn MacDonald

Sally Lynn is an Anarchivist® that often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…

#Aureolin Hue is a color I dearly love. It used to #Aureolin Hue is a color I dearly love. It used to be available in @goldenpaints, specifically the OPEN formulation is what I have, but somehow I missed its discontinuation and am left with only a scant bit in a remaining jar of paint. Not yet ready to give it up, I worked on creating a suitable replacement. If you look at the straight up recipe, you can see why it is no longer with us; having Hansa Yellow Light and Hansa Yellow Medium as part of its mixture. Both of those colors have been discontinued due to a downgrade in lightfastness to III (Fair). So then I started thinking... what if I work with the replacement #BenzimidazoloneYellow to start? And here is my subtitute. Benz Yellow Light with just a dashity smidgeon of #TransparentRedIronOxide seems to do the trick and ends up a lot more transparent than my original to my eye. So #modernpigments to the rescue!

When I needed to unwind during this past year - I When I needed to unwind during this past year - I spent time mixing @goldenpaints and making swatches So much so, I can say that (like many have said about Netflix) - I've reached the end of it. Through preparations for the Zoom trainings I've done on mixing paints, I've literally tried every mix, implemented color combinations I would never have come up with on my own - painted them out, and documented all of it. Now the question is - should I write a book? Does anyone want to see the perfect complementary color mix for Medium Magenta? It makes gorgeous bougainvillea, btw.

Join @donnadowneyart @creationsbyjsheri and a pres Join @donnadowneyart @creationsbyjsheri and a presentation with @palettini.sallylynnmacdonald (Artist Educator for @goldenpaints) for another discussion with the color collab. We will talk about opaque versus transparent, how to choose, how to mix, and 'glaze' over surprising ways to think about it. We will also talk about simple tips about #mixingcolor that will waste less time and paint. And we will touch back on #complementarycolors and how colors affect each other. And to wrap up we will introduce the newest paint to hit the market - Golden's #SoFlat Matte Acrylics. This FB Live session will conclude with Q&A interactive. Looking forward to seeing you here, online! (#linkinprofile)
