Paintings

what kind of paint are you using, bro? is that tempera or acrylic? It looks like you're painting on canvas. Are you priming the canvas? I can't tell if I'm seeing the canvas not being quite covered in the blue areas, or if' you've painted those white dots.

I mainly use oils. I do have acrylic and watercolors, but I have used oils the most. They are easier for me. It's on stretched canvas from the craft store. I never took the classes that taught you how to create your own canvases. I should eventually.

The white you are seeing is just the reflection of the overhead light, I think. That being said, I had diluted the paint quite a bit before applying. That's why you can see the lines behind the blue.

There aren't any missed spots......they bother me - lol. It's one of the main reasons I can't use canvas board. I can paint so that some of the white shows, but not with holes not filled in....That's what she said

Soooo, looks like the picture without the brown was done on canvas board. Which means I should clarify my earlier statement. I don't normally use canvas board.

As payment, here are some old ones I did. First three are the orientation of how I painted them (I think. I can't really remember how the second one was supposed to be anymore). The last is showing how I actually hang them on the wall.

The second one shows a tremendous variation in texture. Hard to believe it's the same medium.
