In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn how to use some polymer clay colors, a tiny stretched canvas, some glaze and a couple of simple tools, to create wonderful textural landscape paintings… using polymer clay as your medium instead of traditional paints. You will be thrilled at the new possibilities… from making painterly blended backgrounds… to mixing your own polymer paints… to creating dimensional elements… and even making your own custom glazes. There is definitely a lot packed into this awesome tutorial.

Thank you for all the work that Doug does filming and getting the camera zoomed in just perfectly so we can see it as if we are there. And his help on the computer end as some of us are not as computer savvy. I appreciate all that you do with your knowledge of clay Cindy. Thank you again.

When I saw your intro painting video with its gorgeous backgrounds, I just had to finally join your site and up my game. I’m excited to make some new items using these techniques! Thanks for the great videos and for the fast response to my support inquiry.


~Anne-H


Cindy, in addition to great videos, you always supply exceptional support too. Thanks again.

I'll be honest... I thought this would be one of the few tutorials I wouldn't care about... not because it doesn't look great, but because I was sure this would require more painting skills and training than I have. I'm SO glad I didn't just skip over this! I can't believe how cool (and easy!) the landscape backgrounds are!!


~Katy-A


This technique is what I have hoped to find to combine my work as a painter and the polymer clay medium that I have also come to enjoy. This is exciting. Thank you.


~Tara-H


You have GOT to be a mind reader! How did you know that I was looking for exactly this type of technique?


~Patt-W


I always wanted to do something like this! Since I retired, a year ago last November, I wanted to get back into painting. Now, it looks like I will but with polymer clay!!! Yeah!!!


~Catalina-L


Thanks, Cindy. Once again you and Doug have come up with a fascinating tutorial. This tutorial is a Bobby Dazzler as we say in Australia :-))


~Chrissie-F


Love this project. It's well worth it. You can use this same technique with different clays to get completely different effects.


~Mama-H


Just watched your take on mini polymer paintings. Really turned out cute and I love that you can use up all those scrappy bits and pieces. I used to make trees paintings from dough and used to add fluffy animals, like sheep, rabbits etc. Thanks Cindy we are all going to have some fun....cheers xx.


~Elaine-F


That is very much like the way I do my covered jars. I love the way you did the trunks. Now that I have finally gotten the discs in my neck fixed, I can sit and work without pain or other symptoms that had made it impossible to do much of anything for so long. Thanks for bringing just the right thing at just the right time.


~Cheyrl-B


Love this tutorial! I've been wanting to try some clay painting! I'm not a painter but your method makes it so easy!


~Gayle-T


Well - you came thru AGAIN! So exciting. As an old (!) landscape oil painter, I can really run with this. You have opened up a new avenue to explore! Jumping up and down..... BIG GRIN!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I REALLY MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!


~Patt-W


These are adorable little canvases. Pre-making the background in all one sheet is a brilliant idea. Your technique is much simpler than others I've seen, and saves a lot of time. I'll bet this would work great on glass also. Thanks Cindy, you came up with another winner.


~DixieAnn-S


I am going to try it on some glass jars also. Painting on them using this technique is a great idea to improve my gifts with a more personal touch. Thanks again for delivering a tutorial to yet improve my artistic talents even more. Great Tute Cindy and Doug!!!


~Peggy-B


After I finished the (craggy?) background on my first canvas, I liked it so well that I changed my mind as to the finishing. I will do another canvas while I decide. THIS IS SOOO MUCH FUN! I love that you gave us so many ideas, like a smorgasbord - pick and choose what you like... ARTISTIC LICENSE. Thank you for such a lovely tute!!


~Patt-W


Patt, your landscape sounds great! Craggy is a word - a very good one to describe a landscape :-) Love your coining of the Artistic License - it certainly suits what Cindy and Doug have given us with this tutorial.


~Chrissie-F


This is a wonderful tutorial for small canvases. Often thought about Polymer painting but never got to it. Now with your tuition, no excuses. I adore watching your very informative tuts. There is always something more than interesting to blow my mind. Keep up your wonderful work. Thanks Cindy for a great tute once again.


~Elizabeth-K


I liked the way these polymer clay landscape paintings looked in the demo, but I was convinced it was beyond me to do. But after watching the full tutorial I found out that it's not complicated at all, and really does look like an oil painting.
