Share your best painting tips and funniest stories?
Do you have some great painting tips that you would like to share? A hilarious story about the time that the cat rolled joyously across your still wet oil painting and then left her mark in inconvenient paces?
Or an experience like that of my friend and student, Margaret, concentrating hard on her oil painting techniques as she finished off a still-life oil painting one evening at home, a glass of red handy on the table. Gulp! Splutter! Choking scream! That was turps that she had swallowed - and a memory not easily forgotten. Perhaps you have some good advice about tried and true painting tips and techniques - maybe you know which watercolour paints react chemically with others to produce a certain effect (I don't but local Mossman artist, Sandra, does). What about water soluble oil paints? Watercolour canvas? What's your favourite brand of paint? Show us what you have done recently with it? Please include a photo of your painting (or yourself) if you would like to. Read what others have written, below. Comment, ask questions. Enjoy!
Have a painting tip that saves time, gives brilliant results?
Do you have a great painting tip (any medium)that you have discovered? It could even be "what not to do" - or a funny story associated with your painting efforts. We would all love to hear it. Do share!
