I'm happy to present my fourth bowling ball painting project!
I would paint a section and let it dry; repeating it for several coats.
It's been sitting on my sewing table and has served as a bit of PT for me for a week.
I took it down by the flag which is way out front last night, near the road;
I hope it is there in the morning!
No, this isn't Pop Art!
This painting has stared at me for a month and I haven't felt like it was working out like I envisioned.
If it was a sweater, I would rip it out!
I was listening to an artist on YouTube and he said the great thing about acrylic
is that you can paint over a canvas if you aren't happy with it.
BINGO!
I laughed the whole time I squirted out the white paint.
Not a second of regret!
I have a few more coats to go before I can try again!
So be it!
(if ripping out knitting is called tinking, what is covering over a painting?
Tniaping?!
I am desperate to do something in the sewing room so I found some flannel
that was just a bit too small and added a strip of one of the fabrics I used on the front
and pieced it in place so the backing is big enough!
Then I loaded the layers on the frame so it will be there when I feel up to it!
My botany line and wash for the day!
A Chinese Foxglove!
That is true about oil painting too. I have done that many times when I was in art school and money was tight and canvases hard to come by. You couldn't just run to Micheals and buy a pack of them like you can do now. Come to think of it, where did I buy my supplies back then? I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteGosh you are keeping busy with fun projects!! You have so much going on.
ReplyDeleteI truly love your flower sketches!
ReplyDeleteThe bowling ball is wonderful! I sure hope it was still there when you went out to check this morning. Good idea painting over the canvas and I like your name for it!
ReplyDeleteThose flower sketches are so pretty and delicate.
Blessings,

I have done the same thing with paintings, and it feels good!
