Saggy Baggy Canvas? If your canvas is too stretched, try wetting the back of it thoroughly with a damp cloth. As it dries, the weave will shrink and become tight in the stretcher bar once again. Yays!

No fish were harmed in the making of this video! Join Riusuke Fukahori as he reveals to us his fascinating journey, and way of thinking in 3D when rendering his fish art. Goldfish + resin = AMAZING! Click here and prepare to be gobsmacked. And yet more visual delight for you! Dive into Joe Fenton’s world for a few minutes to immerse in his extraordinary process over a few months of painstaking creation for his work "Pater" created in 2014. Just fantastic. And a teensy bit disturbing. Although, I read somewhere that art should disturb the comfortable, and comfort the disturbed. Click here to watch this amazing artwork unfold.

This is the section where you can "get your name in lights!" (well at least out there in the internet world!).If you have works in progress you would love to show off, or finished pieces you are particularly proud of, we would love to see them! We especially like to hear about the story behind the creation. This month’s painting comes from Martin Fakaia, based in QLD, Australia. And his short and sweet story, to follow. From Martin: Hi my name is Martin Fakaia, I have always been fascinated with the ocean and the beach. I just can't help myself most of time - I love painting beachscapes, the water, the breaking waves, the whitewash. I don't know, maybe this has gone back to my childhood upbringing, I was brought up on an Island most of my life. Through painting - I have only picked it up in the last 3 yrs and am loving it, it is so relaxing and rewarding for me..... Hope you enjoy this one. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful, bright painting with us Martin!
Hope you enjoyed this issue of Acrylics Anonymous! If you have any suggestions, comments or feedback for the ezine or our site, please don't hesitate to contact us. Until next time, make sure you chuck some paint around! Cheers from Frankie & Mark :) |
