Do you paint in your free time?

I uses pencil most of the time during sketching before finally trace it with a ballpen, fill the design objects with colorful pen or watercolor. Most of the times i like to paint the natures or any object with a paint brush strokes until i guess the images then form it according to my likeness. Then, finalize it with my own personal signatures...

When the mood demands it, I do paint. I use acrylics (heavy body and not) and brushes. I've done landscapes, florals, animal portraits (for Liz's clients), usually on wood (I don't much like canvas) or plaster base..I use plaster/spackling to hide the grain on plywood to give me a smooth surface to work on (scrap plywood is easy to find)and have used that method to decorate little side/plant tables I've made and faux finished, some with flat finish and some with dimensional finish (using clear sealers and such for depth). I've also used acrylics in waterbased sealer to create stains and haven't mastered it yet, but have tried using these colored sealers to paint watercolor type dimensionals. I have even done glass dimensionals (when the boredom or 'block' is on and the glass, like window glass, is available). It produces an interesting effect as more layers are produced than working one a single flat surface..ENJOY the adventure!
