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....
Also...I welcome questions and I will try my hardest to get you, your answer! I enjoy comments too.
ReplyDeleteMy next post will include the colours we will be using and step by step instructions with pictures to help you out.
I would like to do 1 painting with you per week!
Thanks again for reading my blog!
