From Paper to CANVAS...

"Girl in the Pink Frock" has been commissioned to be painted on canvas...An approximately 6" x 7" painting on archival paper to 3' x 4' painting on canvas... Acrylic paint on both paintings... HOWEVER... the paint is applied a little different. On canvas I able to use a thick painting technique... On paper it is not as thick with a watercolour effect...
This is a work in progress... I am hoping to complete her tomorrow... I ADORE painting on canvas... this is a JOY! Ok... back to work! Still have to finish a room design... and paint for Penny too! Could I get a few more hours in the day please! Do you need more hours to your day? Or perhaps you need an assistant or better yet a clone of you?

Have I told you that I love your work? Oh yes, many many times I guess. But I really love it!

It's a beautiful painting and you are very talented :D

I never thought about the difference the background paper would have with the same medium as paint. You should teach us more about this "art stuff."

I need all three with an additional 3 to 4 arms!! There is never enough hours in the day or enough arms to get through it all. I'm in love with the girl on the chaise. I'm hoping that soon it will be me with bon bons and cafe au lait in ALL my hands. (slurp, chomp, slurp, chomp) LOL

Yes, YES! A clone! I need one! :-)

I love that you've showed the process of your painting in progress. It's fun to the see the "order" of it, and how it all comes together.

So neat - I love seeing your process first hand!

I had another treatment and I am in the dark for 3 days. You can have a few of my left over hours!! Have fun with them. :-)

It is fascinating to watch the process in which you choose to paint. Starting with the green and finishing with the actual woman.

Well there is no doubt that whoever commissioned it is going to be thrilled when you get it completed. How very fun for you and them!

I love seeing your creative muse....I could use more hours in the day too. If I had an assistant, I would probably not let him/her do anything...I am too much of a control freak...

I am so excited about my piece!!
Hugs,
Penny

I am in love with your painting. I love wearing pink and I sooo love to make pink desserts. It is so funny, we have the black and white tile in our kitchen and going all the way to the front door. It looks good being flanked by the wood floors. So your painting will be perfect in my home! LOL!

Chris said...

Yes, a clone would be wonderful! Then I could take a nap :)

LOVE this painting you're working on! And I can't wait to see how it turns out...
