CS'ers own ART GALLERY (284)
solitare: Good for you! I'm trying to finish off seven at the same time in spurts; I did better using rolls for a continuous painting then cutting into sections... (hey, it works!)
I'm also on the verge of inventing an entirely new form of Art...but I have to get it copy-written first...

A few geometricals, a couple of Jazz/Blues, couple of African tribal women from old sketches from travels.
I like the rolls method; watched wall paper prints being made and used it for painting...on the back of wallpaper; design stores often throw out rolls and the large sample books that show the wallpaper designs, great for painting and drawing, as are old large rough canvas paper maps; using the reverse side is a free way of getting good canvas sheets; same with cosmetic stores throwing out 'old' lipsticks. I use them for quick sketches and portraits. The effect is like using Chinese brushes, then just apply a fixative. Nice colours also

Sounds fantastic!! All of it!!!
I love "recycling" and invented new uses for things!! The mosaics I do are done with all the tile samples the shop had thrown into a skip!!
I quite like canvasses though because they can be hung without frames. When I learn a bit of carpentry may be I'll make my own frames and then I can go scavenge for "has been" rolls of wall paper

PS I've used nail polish on paintings before now!!
And the best of all I painted a picture on canvass with only stuff out of the kitchen cupboard: tumeric, coffee + fine grains of coffee, red beetroot, wine, tea etc

EagleWoman: ........
Hi Isabela!
There is thread about films and I did comment on it about the film “Never let me go” and it is about some children but the topic I will let it out of it. What was also interesting was that children had art classes, painting so the teachers could see who had “a soul”.
I wonder if you have seen it.

Nail polish is great for colour, sheen, durability and as a substitute for gesso; I experimented with my wife's make-up when I painted our cat unto a Chines screen in 2 panels; also used poly-fill for creating mountains, then sealing it with paints used for model airplanes. The colours and the mountains still are as new while those on imported Chinese screens fade and flake off. Coffee and grounds are great for instant 'aging' of certain surfaces. Many forgers use it...
(Dali let his cheetahs' pee on some of his painting to have a bit more patina to them
)There are no boundaries to creating art except imagination...

Nice work, I would add and show some of my work but I don't know how to load pictures to here, when I get my link straightened out I will leave that so everyone can see my whole gallery.

Hi Life!!!
I don't think I have ... but the title "Never let me go" sounds familiar
Love the idea of seeing who has a soul through their art work!!!

A painter friend commented that he was glad I hadn't gone to art college/academie ... because it meant I hadn't been "given" bounderies or been taught "how it should be done"

Photo is on its way to you...
Art school and academy boundaries are meant to be and should be broken out of...old lessons from a master in Paris when I was a kid. He and Dali did laugh all the way to the bank...

GingerBe: Some acrylic, some mixed media. I am always working, in a way. If I see things or combinations of things to draw of paint, then it is an ongoing process. I usually exhibit around end of November, so usually work in earnest during the Summer and Autumn. All of the stuff I put here is sold, except the wall, which I did for my grandkids in their playroom.
Love your work you are a true artist

RDM59: Hi....don't be shy, if you are creative and artistic share some photos of your work here with friends and potential partners. Let them see that artistic side of you.
I need to get myself off this computer and sketching/ painting again before the eye sight goes and the arthritis sets in.
I did this sketch a very long time ago when I was 15. It is done on 'scrapper board', a silver foil card coated in black ink which is then scratched off with a fine pointed tool.The Forth Bridge ( built 1890 ) near Edinburgh, Scotland

RDM59: Thanks A, I'm kind of scared to give it a try again in case I can't do it anymore ....
You never lose the gift you were given....you are just out of practice.It is a really good drawing.....looking forward to seeing a new one soon.
As for me,cannot draw to save my life...my creative side is writing...but often wish I could draw

Oh how right you are. As my son says, the internet is full of pirates...especially art pirates.
