RE: Waves on the Beach: Acrylic Painting on Canvas

in #art7 years ago

Thanks, I have thought about trying oils thinking that doing a couple paintings at once would be a great idea, my short attention span would really love that too haha. That's a good idea, I will have to try that, at the moment I use a hair dryer to dry the paint because I'm impatient but working on two paintings could be fun.

I might do a post about this because when I first started painting it seemed only a few people talked about what a wet palette is. It's a container such as above, I used an old colored pencil tin. Put a sheet or two of paper towels on the bottom and wet them. After they are wet I'll tip it into the sink just to get the excess water out. Then, on top of that, put wax paper.

I'll tell you what it's been a life saver. I honestly don't think I would have continued painting had I continued just putting paint down on whatever, I'm not a fast painter and I'm cheap, so my paints drying out on me all the time was really discouraging. This is great, and honestly, you could put the paper towel and wax paper on just about anything. The perk of a container such as I have is great for storage. Hope that helps and thanks for checking out my painting : )
