Welcome to Princess Pie's Painting Blog. All my tips, hints and suggestions are strickly for fun and for the love of trying knew things and maybe somethings that one find intimidating to try!! I use paint that is about a dollar in price, sponges and a few simple brushes. Also, glossy artist pallette sheets are great and found at most dollar stores. There is no professional advice or critisism here...so paint along with me and enjoy! You might just find your inner artist!

Welcome!!

Well, this is my new blog and I am excited. First off, I am no professional painter, I do it because I enjoy it and I am the worst critic of my work, so grab those brushes and some paint and lets get painting!
Secondly, I buy all my canvas at the dollar store. Does the fancy canvas make your picture look better? I don't know and I am not that fancy. I like my work and my techniques. I find that my way works for me.
Thirdly...I use all sorts of paint, water, oil and acrylic...yes in that order, often all in one painting. When not mixed with water, water paints act just like any other paint.
Fourth...regular dishsoap and water will clean your brushes and sponges.
Fifth...I suggest painting in a well lit area...as often I have put yellow in places that should be white...oops....
