RE: Saturday Unfamiliar Territory?
I bring home the craziest things. I'll drag back sand and stones from abroad, as if my luggage isn't heavy enough already!
When it comes to art, the only thing I've ever truly managed is paint-by-number. Beyond that, I really don't know what I'm doing. I only know this: when I tried to paint a picture of my cat with my newly bought acrylics, I woke up the next day to find a pile of vomit right next to the picture.
It must have been so bad that my cat actually vomited! @almaguer, I might ruin everyone’s appetite if I join!
I never travel with a suitcase. I collect souvenirs, like you. Labels of bottles of water included.
🤣🤣🤣 are you sure the cat didn't find it a cosy place to sit and vomit?
Colouring by paint I once tried as a child. I cannot even remember if I ever finished it onky that the brush sucked and the paint was way too thick too colour smoothly. I also tend to colour outside the lines and I cannot copy what I see. My brain always feels the need to change something.
(I later understood that only very creative and intelligent people seem to do this simply because their brains work differently).
I am sure @almaguer can live with vomit and fir your info our appetite is on a low level 🤣
You are indeedd an intelligent one, because labels are better way as souvenir. I brought home those PET disposable water bottle because it has a Hello Kitty label. Just throw it away after keeping it for about 8 years.
Just like the paint I always get for paint by numbers. It's thick and some of it dried up before I could finish the painting
I took home some bottles too, shells, sand, whatever looks interesting, but never big amounts. Today I have enough memories to look at.
Sounds as if they do it on purpose with that paint. You had it in those tiny plastic cups as well? (and a bad brush).
Right! Those brushes. Not as good for painting but I kept them and finally used them to touch up some stuff or to apply glue somewhere and toss them like disposable
They are also good if you like ugly art or impressionism
Unless you want to create frayed strokes with them.
Are acrylic good for ordinary drawing paper? Will they get cockled or something? If I wanna try painting maybe I can do it on drawing paper. Canvas can be quite costly
In average I use normal paper but if too wet and if it dries fast it will crincle. I like to paint wet on wet so it has to dry slowly. You can also paint with it on woid, cardboard, cloth, srone and glass.
