Painting On Glass
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Painting on glass is currently one of the most popular forms of art for gift-giving and home decorating. The technique of painting on glass is centuries old and seems to have developed soon after the appearance of sheet glass.
Because of its popularity, there are a variety of glass painting products and books available. With the recent development of new specialty paints, the glass painting process has been enhanced, and finished items are more durable. New paints, when dried properly, will withstand a great number of washings in the dishwasher and remain as beautiful as when first painted.

Painting Landscapes on Canvas
Sunday, September 20th, 2009How would you like to paint using a medium that looks like watercolor or oil, but is neither of them?
Acrylic painting is both fun and very relaxing. Painting landscapes and other subjects can easily be done.
Acrylic paint is very versatile and is very good for beginners and professional painters alike. By adding water or acrylic gel, the painter can get different effects.
Masters can do mural paints; beginners start on canvas, painting still landscapes, portraits and still life.
If you’re a beginner, don’t despair. You can learn to paint a landscape on canvas very easily. More than that, you can look like a master even if you only use acrylic. Squeeze some paint from the tube, mix them on your easel, and make some incomprehensible noises. People will think you’re a master.
You will need acrylic paint in tubes or jars, brushes, water, towels, canvas, easel and palette.
Now the first thing to do when painting landscapes is not to panic. Having set your easel and equipment in a public park or sanctuary, squeeze just a small amount of paint on your palette. Spray a little water. This is to avoid it from drying up before you even make the first master stroke.
Dip the brush in the water bottle. To prevent water from running down, blot the brush on the towel. If you want opaque colors, apply the acrylic paint thickly on the canvass. A blue sky for example needs a thinner layer of paint than the waves of the lake.
The beauty of using acrylic paints is that when it dries, you can just paint over it. Move a little backward and forward to examine your work. Then with a stroke of inspiration, mix some white, yellow and green color with a bit more water. Use this to paint over the tree trunk and get the reflection you want.
Finish the other parts of the canvas painting, such as the sky and the lake with a flourish. When you finish, smile to your audience and fold your easel.
Next time you can get the finished look of oil in your canvas painting. You can do this using acrylic. Just try to vary the amount of water, gels, mediums, or and pastes and get the correct consistency.
