i know what u mean, i feel the same about my "Look At Me" picture. That scene means so much to me and that's why I've edited it so many times. When a piece of art has a deep meaning to u, u just want it to be perfect and how you imagined it because u feel so deeply about it. I think it's one of the nicest things about being an artist

yes - and the scariest too - there's a certain nakedness, a stripping away . . . distilled down to what's most dear to your heart. To present it in this forum was a good excersize for me

joeyv7 In reply to aylian [2007-12-04 14:01:18 +0000 UTC]

I dunno why I prefer this version- it gives it a story book feel, but maybe it makes it look more 'classical' than my usual strident colors . . . I don't like to depend on effects, but I really liked the look w/ this one Maybe I'll yank the original out of scraps & put it in here somewhere

aylian In reply to joeyv7 [2007-12-04 15:17:30 +0000 UTC]

both versions are interesting in their own way. i really can't say which set of colors i prefer. but you're right that the antique filter provides a bit of a "classical" look. reminds me of the ruckus people kicked up when they cleaned the Sistine Chapel. All this art history scholarship had been built on the colors looking a certain way, and it turns out it was just dirt! lol.....

Veronika-Art In reply to joeyv7 [2007-12-04 01:53:20 +0000 UTC]

I adore acrylics... I use them often!!! Here is a tip. I have a wet palette. It`s just a palette with a cover (you can get any plastic really thin box) then put a damp cloth (the type to dry table, spongy) and put a special kind of paper on top of it - butter, it doesn`t really break with water). It keeps acrylics on the palette for weeks!!!

Veronika-Art In reply to joeyv7 [2007-12-04 14:35:34 +0000 UTC]

They also sell them in art supply stores. My pallete is a "Mastersons" Stay Wet handy palette. It`s amazing. I`ve had my acrylics in there for months and they are ok!! It`s amazing because you know about acrylics, they dry very fast!

I also have a "Folkart Blending Gel, (Plaid 867)" to extend drying tie for blendability ... check that out, it`s so usefull.. I made my "Flowers" details and blending of colours, shadows, lights with that (here : [link] )
