When you really want keep painting and you don’t have time to wait for paint to dry, use a hairdryer as suggested. it is such a help! You don’t have to blast it with super heat. You can use a cold air too. It’s a game changer. If you have your paper taped down on the edges on your board, hot air...

Hi all. Here is a short video of another artist and his home and studio. What a great space he has.

Ayin! I hope you have success with the outcome of your surgery, and a great recovery. So glad you are still you despite the surgeons tinkering with Ayin-Central! Lol 😁 Of course you’re up, trying to be you! I think that’s a great sign. Just try not to overdo it.😉 Wishing you the joy and peace of...

Oh, they’re gonna love it. That’s a wonderfully warm painting, and expression on their faces. It will always be treasured.

I thought it looked familiar! What do you mean the base exactly? The base colour or the bottom part?

Exactly, and it may not happen very often but it does happen to all artists. And it has to happen. Not just because we all make mistakes, but we’re hopefully pushing ourselves to try something different/ new or try something more. And a lot of people see people who are very good at making art...

Looks cool so far! Have we seen this painting that you want to change? I like the challenge and possibility of what you’re doing.🙂

Oh, I’m so glad you didn’t throw that out Grapes. I’ve almost done the same. I waited years and then found paintings I had abandoned and I decided to finish them. And this time it wasn’t a problem. Not only did I have fresh eyes for the piece, but really it was all the art I had been doing in...

Nice piece Grapes! You did a good job resolving that. And it is nice feeling to finally finish something even if it took years. I still have some waiting for me…..

Thanks Enyaw. I am writing that down!👍🏻

Wonderful!!

What did Matt Damon say in that movie, Good Will Hunting….? “How do you like them apples?” Lol

Yes, I remember our professor’s teaching us never to use straight black if you can help it. Better to make your black. It’s just richer and is not flat or “dead” to the eye. This will avoid that. I like putting some reds in my black or l phthalo green. Or just mix paint together so you’re not...

It actually does help when you get stuck. I think about it a lot doing a piece. When trying to decide what I’m going for, what is feeling off, what is possibly missing, and recognizing why an area is working. Looking at the elements. I keep thinking of my old art prof who was a very...
