PLAYING WITH MY BIRTHDAY GIFT EARLY

Image
Got an early Birthday present and did not know what to do with it. "Mixed Media by Pebeo Paint". There were no directions, instructions? So I watched some u-tube  videos and than was even more perplexed. I did the only thing left to do and started to play. Here is the conclusion I came to. They are all oil based. Vitrail is translucent and like a lacquor. Ceramic is opaque and a lacquor. Prisms is irridescent. Moon Fantasy is pearlized. I used a paint and drip Technique on a used plastic coffee canister. The photos show the results.  I marbelized the top of the cap and just had fun painting nautilus swirls over a base coat on the sides. .Each coat took 24 hrs to dry. Than I dripped paint from the top rim. So this project took 3 days to complete. I like the results and for my next project I am looking for a lazy susan to move the paint on a flat surface. Every once in a while I need to expand my horizons.

Precognition 10/1/2017 0 Comments Yesterday I gave a new friend a birthday present. I painted this picture a long time ago. I didn't know what inspired me and to tell the truth I had forgotten about it. As I was preparing photos of pictures for my website. This pastel on paper emerged from my files. There it was! The perfect picture for my friend's birthday present. My friend has a house full of hatboxes, antiques, treasures and beautiful possessions. She likes to surround herself with memories. How did I know that someday I would find the perfect person for this still life of  Hatbox and Rose? Why does this surprise me. There will be someone who will see in a painting something they value. What attracts me to paint a subject? A really good question. 0 Comments Humming Along 9/29/2017
