kid from yesterday. Bleeding on the Floor Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 1265	June 7th, 2009 at 10:29am This is pretty much my first time painting something ~proper (or at least something that isn't just random smudging that ends up being a big black blob at the end) so crits/comments would be nice. (: Plus my lame-ass poster colors from eons ago dried up and I was only limited to a handful of colors. ): 's not great but I'm still learning - any advice?

arthur pendragon. Crash Queen Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 30309	June 9th, 2009 at 05:40pm So this is a question I have, because you're all super talented. Please direct me to the right place, if I am posting this incorrectly. For my room, I'm hoping do a painting, and I do art GCSE so I have some experience. I want to basically paint this onto a canvas. I was wondering if you had tips etc for how I'd go about this? I've never done canvas painting before. We usually just go straight on paper or whatever medium we're using. Thank guys. x
dirty love. In The Murder Scene Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 23925	June 9th, 2009 at 06:24pm I did a lot of canvas paintings in art, so I can kind of tell you what to do, but I suck at actually doing it. If you can, get the image blown up and printed on acetate. Then project it on to your canvas and trace it. This makes it much easier to get the drawing exactly the image, but is obviously only possible if you have the facilities. If you can't do that, definitely get the picture blown up to the size you want. It makes it easier to copy. Draw onto your canvas in pencil, but very lightly. If you press hard it can be difficult to get off. Use oil or acrylic paints. If you want to do a black outline of whatever, do it last. And it's easy to do it in black marker rather than trying to paint it. oh and btw, if you make a mistake, you can go over it easily. I've used the same canvas twice before, so don't worry about that. hope that was what you were looking for, pm if you have any specific questions. (:

Harlequinn Salute You in Your Grave Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2704	June 16th, 2009 at 09:59pm the fragile.: : Thanks for the feedback! sry this reply is pretty late but i've been BUSY. My camera broke while i was photographing some of my work for my portfolio :/ but eventually i'll put a better photo of that painting up. And ya, i'm always pretty bummed out about how much detail is lost in even the best of photographs. I'm sure some of the widows are at least slightly slanted, but some of it i think is from the way it photographed. Like the door on the far right looks like its leaning to the left but its just the way the shadows showed up on the photo. here's a subway man lol acrylic on foam core, about 4 inches in depth level 1-black mat background level 2-subway station floor level 3-subway level 4-business dude level 5-column
desert skies. Shotgun Sinner Age: - Gender: - Posts: 7229	June 18th, 2009 at 06:35pm ^ I like the idea of foam for depth. And crimes in the mosh. that's a great painting of The Rumor! This year was my first real experience with paint. I'm quite proud of this piece actually, though I have a long way to go. I don't have a scanner, so it's not the best quality.

SisterOfTheRose Jazz Hands Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 329	June 20th, 2009 at 10:59am Haven't used paints in a while so I have no idea.
Frnk iero. Awake and Unafraid Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11747	June 21st, 2009 at 11:02am You should try, you look like you could be the next hottest artist.
SisterOfTheRose Jazz Hands Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 329	June 22nd, 2009 at 05:34am Thanks a lot but I think that's unlikely.
