You should! There are many things to consider, but it makes for an interesting experience.
You could put it up as a draw for the shop. We know we don't have to sell what's on display... The fact your parents are so proud of what you do, I'm sure they'd want to display the things you paint now.
I usually use acrylics and thickening gel for mine, but I haven't even done that in a while since I've just been doing standard acrylics and watercolor But I should really just use oil paint and be more patient about letting it dry I can't help it! It takes sooooo looooooooooong
You think so? I've always been shy about my own stuff, but if I do something I'm really proud of, I'll consider it We should definitely put yours up, though!
Ah... I have been neglecting watercolour. I should do another painting of it, before I forget how to use them properly. Oil paints are good if you are in the position to walk away from it completely for a while... it helps resist the temptation to keep checking it is dry.
I will put up my painting if you put up one of yours. How is that for a deal?
Tsukasa's been doing gansai watercolor and it's made me want to start using them instead of my normal watercolor paints! It's both an easy and difficult medium, but I really love it
Ughhhh thin oil paint is fine, like for normal paintings and stuff But what if you touch your impasto after like a month and it isn't completely dry? Flattening it with your finger or like poking it with the other end of a paintbrush and puncturing it to the wet paint underneath would ruin everything I'm worried that I'd be more conscious of the thickness of the paint than the actual painting, and no one wants that Give me my artistic freedom!!!
Okay! I'll have to do something equally nice, but I'll take you up on that!
