Welcome To My World of Color

My name is Griselda Tello-Yarbrough,
I have been painting since I was in my teens
and teaching others how to paint for over 35 years.
The purpose of these pages is to share with you how much
fun it is to just pick up color and transform a simple
print into a magical work of art. You do not need to know
how to draw or paint to have fun with color!
I primarily work in oil and acrylic mediums,
but I enjoy photography and making crafts.

I enjoy painting with DecoArt Americana Colors
because they provide a large selection of rich
and vibrant colors, and I do not need to waste time mixing. 
Make sure you visit Decoart website
And take a look at Let's Paint Magazine.

Within my pages you will find some unique ways
to transform an image that someone may judge as
"just an old house", into a romantic cottage garden..
Start your very own art collection by playing
with any photos of neighborhood homes or
magazine pictures.

"Painted Prints"

Making a painted print is very simple, I decoupage
a print of one of my photos into a small canvas
or a smooth wooden surface, which I seal with a
permanent varnish. Then using acrylic colors I touch
up the print, using small strokes, covering any unwanted
areas and adding flower beds and bush trees where needed.
I will soon have a detail list of all the supplies 
you will need and more detailed instructions.

Here are a few samples of what I have done with some wonderful photos 
that my dear friend Anne brought back from England during her vacation. 

For now, please visit my other web sites and please leave me your comments in my guest book.
