Oil Painting Technique, Art Lesson

Namaste! I'm an Artist who Loves working with Oils! I'm always looking for new techniques and tips or tricks to stretch the medium. If you're sketching with your brush, blocking in a base coat, or creating a Plein Painting try this...

 

Before applying Paint cover your canvas with a coat of Artist Oil for Oil Paints first. There are several different types on the market for you to choose from. Then go on an Art Adventure and explore this technique. Have Fun! 

Sketchbook Doodles

Looking forward to opening up my sketchbook today and letting myself go. My pages are layer upon layer of smudged charcoal and graphite renderings. Rough sketches, scribbles, and completed drawings have spilled out onto the pages. Maybe I'll give you a tour someday.

My Newest Cat Art. Watercolor Still Life painting of a Woman and her Pet Cat. Anyone who has ever let a Cat take over their home knows how much a Cat brings to it. This Lady is obviously the Loyal Subject of her purring companion.

I'm a Pennsylvania Artist who loves to depict People with their Pets, as well as depicting People interacting with Wildlife. Perhaps it is the wild side of our pets that is appealing to us. By bonding with them we bond with Nature. Having a close encounter with Nature uplifts us Spiritually. I hope to capture that feeling in my Art.

Namaste! Hello Everyone!

I'm really excited because I've updated my Art Print Shop. I've added tons of new work to each Gallery; including...Landscapes, Cat Art, Bird Art, Flowers, and Botanicals. I plan on adding new Art to each Gallery on a regular basis. I also plan on adding more Galleries...since I'm an Artist who works in many different styles, genres, and mediums. Right now I have a dozen or so Art Projects that are in various stages of completion.

Art Lesson, Mixed Media Art

This project is for adults 18 yrs or older!

Supplies needed:
8" x 10" or 9" x 12" sheet of cardboard
enough aluminum foil to completely cover the cardboard
Black water based craft paint
other assorted colors of craft paint
paper towel
paint brush(s)
craft glue stick
rubber gloves

1st smash your aluminum foil into a ball. Then carefully unroll it...flattening it out...but leaving the wrinkles. Next completely cover the cardboard with your aluminum foil, and glue it into place. Now paint the aluminum foil completely black. Then using paper towels...rub off most of the black paint (while wearing your rubber gloves)....leaving the paint in the wrinkles and creases of the foil. Allow this to completely dry. The final step is to paint your masterpiece on top of the foil. Enjoy!
