;D well i've been enrolled in an art course at school this session.... and it's kicking ass. we basically have free reign, to work on whatever we like. i've been doing a lot of phot-stuff, using geeky programs and the like, and lots of work with acrylic paints. the other day, though, i discovered my new favorite medium: GLUE! i'm working on a project related to darkness: the texture and intricacies of night-time. i've been working on lots of landscapes, and texture has been a big issue. i mixed up some black and green pain with a glue paste, used a coarse brush for the sky, and got the most wonderful, 3D effects... i've been working on a picture of the moon, too, for which i'm using an artist's paste - used to add texture to paint, but wonderful used alone or with a smidge of colour, to produce the texture of the moon  anyone else got art mediums/techniques they love? dan |

"black and green pain with a glue paste"
now that's an interesting and actually lovely typo
damn do i love words....i think a collage of words in different fonts and sizes that form a picture when you stand back from it at a distance would be a lovey idea....the whole work would be a poem, but formulate a picture at a distance...b/c----isn't that what poetry is about? this time, i'd be a tangible picture.

Has any one tried silk painting? The results are usually very beautiful and silk is a very challenging and uncompromising medium, harder than water colours - what do others think? |

i always liked charcoal and chalk. although being left handed, i'd end up with a nice smeared effect if i wasn't careful.
photography is great too...i wish i had my own lab...i would spend forever in the one they had at school...
i was never any good at painting.

for painting I love watercolor , otherwise I'm a big fan of pen or pencil. I also like using the camera and internet as pieces of my art, either alone or to add into a larger universe/piece being worked on digitally. lastly, digital editing/refining is freakin' fun and cool. tinting etc. .~*^POof!^*~. |

My two favourite things at school were Impasto [is that what it was called? That white stuff you could mix with paint and it could dry it big thick lumps and you could make great textures.] and my other fave was Shellac ;D

I know Shellac is used to varnish tables...you mix shellac flakes with some sort of solvent then rub it into the wood. Dunno how you use it art-wise though...
