Lately, I have not been very busy with knitting, crocheting or other handicrafts, which I do excessively at times.
Through a project for CCCamp23, I painted backgrounds for a puppet theatre. In the end, I just had to think the sentence that I hate acrylic and my surroundings knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third one I painted completely in fluorescent colours. Here is a gif:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it made me look more into wedge frames and the covering of the same. At least that’s what Jens did for me \ud83d\ude00 But the motivation was there. So on Wednesday I bought wedge frames and cotton fabric and off I went. The super arrogant salesman got me to buy some rabbit glue to prime the fabric with by saying things like “yes, laymen would do it like this”. When I got home, after a short search, I realised that it’s better used for wooden panels and frames. Thank you.
Well. The preparation somehow involves soaking the stuff for an hour, then cooking it at a certain temperature and putting it in the fridge. Hm no. So I took my layman’s primer (Greso) and slapped that on the canvas. Let’s see if that works. I’ve been wanting to paint with oil again for a long time. I come more from the watercolour corner. Let’s put it this way. So far I haven’t found a painting medium that really convinces me and my abilities. Apparently I want to use everything the way it suits me and not the medium. So there is sometimes something like a conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I bought a new set “Norma” from Schmincke and that will surely solve all my problems I ever had with oil paints. Hm yes. I also bought some painting products that sounded entertaining to me. One of them is “Medium 5 Painting Butter” – what could go wrong with that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll try to be super patient with the painting this time. I have chosen a motif that was created in Prague. Two people lying in front of each other, but you can only see one eye and hair. A lot of hair. It’s a super close-up, so to speak. I think I will post process pictures to keep my 2 readers up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I won’t be saying I hate oil paint in a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
