CAPirani Photography & Art @capirani (2840) • United States 30 Jun

Have you ever seen the painting technique using shaving cream to marble your painting results? It looks a lot like the very old book making technique used for the inside covers of old books. There are videos available for those...

CAPirani Photography & Art @capirani (2840) • United States 5 Jun
