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!

Simple Pleasures

In this painting, I used my three-step bush technique. (found in detail on my blog) As you can see, this is not only a great space filler, it also adds depth to any painting by adjusting the size and finally, adding the highlights and shading. My three-step bushes work wonders when you need to add or cover up that mistake...or when you just don't know what to put in that spot. For the rocks I used a gray, using a mixture of black and white, this way, gray shades can be controled. Remember, rocks are everywhere in all shapes, sizes and colors. Adding highlights and shading again give them depth and can add to the effect and shape. Simple things
in your art work can make it look great, and as I always say...there is no judging of art and in nature or landscape works...nothing is out of place or wrong, they are exactly where nature intended them to be.
