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!

Meadow

This is simply a nice work of art, if I may say so. As an artist, I rarely like my work as I see the flaws, the mishaps and cover-ups, but this one...I just really like it though it is up in my house for display...it is for sale as is all my work.

Simple Trees

I was messing around one day with a sponge and dipped a piece in to the gobs of leftover paint I had on my pallet and began to dab it on to a canvas. Dipping the sponge in to about 4 colours of green, I lightly dabbed here and there, then added some ivory to the the mix to lighten things up. By adding small lines of black and thin lines of brown, I created the trunks of trees. Also, light can be reflected well with ivory, not white. Artist Note Use ivory in daylight and evening works...and white in night time

Since it's been so long, I thought I would add some more of my work for you to enjoy. All my paintings vary in size from 4x9 and up.
Hello everyone! It's been a very long time since I have posted, but that doesn't mean I haven't been painting! In fact, I am going to need a new house with all the new paintings I have. Which brings me to another point! Recently, I decided to go through the paintings and canvas' I already have and weeding out the ones I didn't like, almost like cleaning out your closet. With those painting I did not like, I painted over them and while some of them had so much paint on them, I found the the gobs of dried paint added to the effect of the new painting! I am also happy to say, I have also sold two pieces! And that all my work is for sale.
I hope you enjoy my work and please feel free to comment.
