Andrew Tischler is also a great painter follow. Here's him talking about oil mediums for half an hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZf9QaTxDfM Alpay Efe is also usually a good watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmq80Q4pW_0&t=140s And some content, a watercolor I did of some rocks in Joshua Tree national park.

I painted a jellyfish with the stuff you sent me, I haven't posted it yet because it's still drying and I'm not sure if I want to add more layers or not. Here it is as of right now though! Thanks again for the box

Been working on this for a little bit, I also gilded (fake gold leaf) and "dirtied" the frame. Not sure I'm done with it yet but it's good enough for me to put on the wall to look at instead of sitting on my other desk.

i love stretching canvas, I started using tacks instead of staples because I've been watching too many baumgartner restoration videos on youtube

Yeah they hold on just fine. They're easier to remove than staples and having nicely spaced tacks around the edge of the canvas is a nice look if youre into that sorta thing.

Tacking hammers are magnetic on the back so you don't have to hold the tack. Its pretty easy once you get the hang of it

I found this old thermometer in my parents basement, I guess my brother got it from a house he was changing the HVAC system on. It was so rusted over you couldn't read half the numbers but I sandblasted it and it turned out pretty good considering how it started. I forgot to take a before pic like always but I painted it white like it seemed to originally be. I wanted to paint the lines and numbers black but my attempts to do it by hand looked bad given the uneven surface. I also tried masking tape to do the lines but it still looked kind of uneven. My next thought is some kind of stencil but I haven't tried it yet. Any ideas on how to have it look half decent?

Jesus Christ your stuff is sick as hell Booyah- posted:This may be a stupid question and the answer is just "go to the local art supply store" but does anyone have good resources for getting quality drawing paper in index card size? I like keeping around 3 by 5 index cards for doodling but the typical ones are very cheap paper that's gonna be the right answer without knowing what you have in mind for high quality, to go IRL and feel a bunch of different kinds of paper and see what you like. then you can have an idea of what weights and materials of paper you like if you already have larger paper you like you could get a papper cutter that would be much easier than scissors

a 3d printer would probably be the "least" work but you're likely to still need to do some sanding or finish work unless you can use a resin printer. There are different materials that would surely survive a printing press as long as it's not a ginormous piece. linocuts and woodcuts are ok but you could also consider etching where you print a mask on a sheet of metal (copper) and dissolve some of rest to create raised letters. Or of course cutting by hand

I have some speedball oil based relief ink and it makes pretty good looking prints that you could watercolor over.

Does anyone sell prints, and if so is there some good print to order service? I've gotten stuff printed w Shutterfly, Google photos, and some other service I can't recall but never used anything like redbubble and the like. Any recommendations?

HungryMedusa posted:It depends on what you want. I print my own on an ancient Epson r2000. I buy print on demand prints as a part of my day job so I have seen some from different services. 🤯 I buy half my paints at a local blick idk why I didn't even think to check out their print services! Thanks for the advice

Hmm I'll give that a try, I'm just a self taught painter. I use the thinner for woodworking too and I have a chem degree so solvents don't really bother conceptually me but the safety concerns are real. Mineral oil would probably work as a version that won't go rancid 🤔
