Well, I'm coming and going on whether to sell. I painted the edges of wildcrazy Love today. Strangely, after some doubts before, I'm really liking it today. Like it more the more I look at it. Hope the buyer likes it when they get it. Always hard to really get an accurate impression of a work from a photo.
Anyway have moved from resenes little test pots to bigger dulux ones. Partly because I want to use a lot of paint, and quite thick textural and marble effects. I feel like I can splash it around and experiment and that I don't have to worry too much about the cost. Dulux is about 2x the paint for only a dollar or two more.
Resenes definitely has the best coverage, so you use less to get the same results but dulux is great for playing with.I consider proper "art paints" to be a luxury that as an artist...I can't afford lol But actually I've come to prefer house paints. They flow in a way I like and they are exceptionally hardwearing and long lasting. They're made to take a bit of punishment. :-)
I also bought some pva glue. plan bubbling around in my head is to experiment with dripping,marbling and generally playing with paint on paper, and then cutting shapes out of the (dried) finished results. I feel like a kid at kindy, give me the scissors and the glue lol
