Galaxy tutorial

How to paint a galaxy on your black clothing! Read the comments too, for some good tips.

This reminds me of a spaced out spray paint artist in Brisbane's Queen Street mall about a decade ago. I suspect he breathed in too many fumes.

Would you like galaxy nails to match?

A layering technique from Gary Reef

I love the effect of this layering technique from Gary Reef:


I notice though that he just knows which colours to choose to spray, & how & where, to achieve the desired effect.

I was surprised at a couple of the comments on this video: imo this layering technique improved the look of the painting.

Do you have trouble with ... hands?

I came across this hands tutorial today, at WetCanvas:



It's a three page "Demonstration on Painting Hands" by Leslie Pease.

I just wish I had found it several weeks ago, when Maria was painting her dancer.

Article: Acrylic Painting on Paper

Winsor & Newton offer an article by Derek Massey, on Acrylic Painting on Paper:

Derek Massey has been a full time professional UK artist since 1987.

Mr Massey states in his article: "The end result is as good as a traditional oil painting, with the added advantage of a very fast drying time...plus little or none of the odour one associates with oil paints...has all the qualities of a water colour and the added dimension this paint has to offer..."
