re: time and painting.

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

hope all is well, as usual i've been busy doing workshops and work on new art and stuff, even started writing some new poems which i'll include post haste. 

been painting up my mum's house, she has been letting me paint what i want. 

check it out.

 

i used mainly acrylic house paint, which took longer, but it's a big improvement as i reckon the last time the house had a coat a paint was 20 years ago or longer. i used 3 in brushes and rollers for most of it. i used 2 cans of black acrylic aerosol for the black outlines of the octopus creature and the sparrow type bird as well i used aerosol. the rest i used a couple gallons of outdoor acrylic. it's non-toxic and easy to clean up. anyway, this is what i did for a couple weeks recently, still lots more to do. these paintings took time, the octopus took about 8 hours and i had to start painting at 6 am to beat the heat. aerosol is faster, but more expensive. i can of it is about $8 to $10 while a gallon of acrylic latex can be had for free or as cheap as $5 and covers a lot more wall. well, there you have it.....

until next time,

cb
