Hey everybody, Good news! I got my camera working and i painted a really good volcano scene. There are some things that i am going to discuss about how i made this one.

My favorite part of this painting is hands down the planet. The planet was a great success and I know why. One: I layered my colors differently, instead of putting down the paints from lightest to darkest, I mixed it up a little and went from middle to lightest to darkest. So instead of yellow, orange, red. I went orange, yellow, red. Second: I didn’t put the paints down as exact circles, one on top of the other. I tried to make areas where there was more yellow than orange, or more red than yellow…etc. Third of all, instead of laying down the magazine and smoothing it out for a moment against the paint, I laid it down for at most two seconds and then tore it off quickly, this gave the planet the great rough canyon texture which i really like.

Here is an up close on the texture of the planet.

Hey everybody.

I was just surfing the web today and i stumbled across this quote site. I have to share it with everybody because it has some of the funniest quotes ever! Here it is: www.short-funny-quotes.com. I’ve been reading these for like an hour and i cant stop laughing. But anyways, my camera broke and i cant upload pictures now. Which is too bad because i just painted a really cool volcano scene using the plastic warp technique and i wanted to get some responses on it. I hope to get my camera working soon and than hopefully I’ll have a whole arsenal of pictures to upload. But for now, I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied sharing a laugh with all of you.

See ya

Hey everybody, i just wanted to talk about a new technique i saw recently. I usually use magazine for making textures when i paint, but i saw this guy who was using plastic wrap and it was making this really cool, rough looking texture. If anyone has used this technique before share comments and tell us whats special about it.

I am going to try it out on my next painting and I’ll put up some pictures of how it turns out…hopefully not blurry ones.
