In these two 8″x10″ polymer clay paintings, Pittsburgh’s Denise Graham says that, “Achieving a watercolor effect was a delightful challenge.”
Denise has been painting with polymer clay for years and was looking for a way to return to her roots as a watercolorist.
Alcohol inks and acrylic paints enhance the overall effect in Summer’s Fruit. In Spring Blossoms, she uses pastels and mica powders to create the subtle background hues.
See additional paintings on her Flickr site and read a bit more about her methods. Thanks to Carol Shelton for the reminder to take another look at this unusual use of polymer.

Denise’s work is breathe taking. I love working with polymer clay and alcohol inks but I this is a whole new twist.
Denise has redefined the word “painting” and the results are stunning. Her attention to detail is evident in all of her work. And she’s nice
