Noticing images in incidental patterns lifts them out of the ordinary.
Blood becomes a flower. Wood grain becomes a lion.
And the more you notice them the more you see.
Still a dreamer after all these years.
…some incidental, accidental art…
I made this short video to show you how to paint clouds the easy way, in a light blue sky using only acrylic white paint on canvas.
This is a dry brush method and takes a bit of trial and error with knowing how much pressure to put on the brush and to get the dampness or dryness of the brush just right. But when you get it clouds will just appear on the canvas as if by magic.
Happy painting fellow art travelers!
In researching how to prepare hardboard for painting you will find many versions on the theme but here’s the method I use.
FYI tempered hardboard was given a bad rap for years because of the use of oils in the manufacturing process, which caused problems with paint not adhering to the surface. In recent decades the manufacturing process had changed and there is little difference with the oil content between tempered and untempered. However to safeguard against any chance of yellowing with time I seal both sides of the hardboard as part of my preparation.
DONE! Happy painting everyone!
