Stretching - Oil Painting

Stretching on a marble may be easier. A glass cube is not the perfect pick for stretching the back. But for the one who is 'flexible" like this pepper.

Lemonade - still life, small painting

When I order lemonade at a hip bar, it never comes without some lovely decor. Because lemonade is just too simple. But... no one ever invented red marble decor on a mirror plate. How is that? I would be so amazed that I would gaze those reflections, I would even forget that the glass is... empty.

Survival - oil painting

Am I the only one who meet fearful, confused people nowadays? Sometimes I am a fearful, confused one also when I meet myself... So there are issues everywhere. 

It is a relief to meet Nature instead. Nature is the big survivor. 

Life is good.

Glasses

I was totally amazed by the colors and light that was through these glasses. So I painted a color study.

As I see this on my monitor I can see that slight changes are needed. Even though the blue one was like this, I am not completely satisfied... I think I should have shown more of the blue glass, as its shape is not come through. 

How to Make Colorful Coasters?

Materials you need:

round cardboard pieces

(you can use your old coasters also if you

want to give them a fresh new look)

3 colors of acrylic paint of your choice

brush

drawing ink and a bamboo-stick

and decoupage glue

Loose brushstrokes. That's all you need.

Have fun! Mix and paint.

After a few minutes as the first layer has already dried

I cut out a heart shape from a piece of not too thick cardboard

and use it as a template.

Use black drawing ink and a sharpened bamboo-stick to embellish.

My lines are uneven and I am very happy with this outcome.

Let them dry. At this point I am really impatient...

so I do something else instead of waiting there...

And finally paint a decoupage-glue-cover layer on top.

It makes the coasters waterproof.

And here they are, ready to use!

Have happy drinks, have fun, have friends!

And I wouldn't be surprised if you want to

paint more. Be ready. New surfaces are thirsty

for refreshment.
