When it comes to painting I always try to use a more rustic and country type of brush. My favorite painting idea is to take one of my country style paintings and simply apply rust around the image. In my opinion this is the best way to use a wagon wheel painting idea. The rust makes the image look just like it should be and also gives it a very “humble” look, almost as if it was just left sitting in the field by itself.
This painting idea: is great for any area of your home you want to add that western or country feel. For instance, this idea would look great over a southwest accent wall. Or perhaps you have a wagon wheel fireplace and want to add that old time western or country feel to the room.
Another great thing about this painting idea: is you can use any kind of brush or paint. You do not have to use special brushes that are for this type of painting. You can paint your image using a regular brush on any kind of paint. Of course you do not want to use acrylics, unless you want to use a very dark shade of brown. Acrylics can be very light and they can cause some “divergence” in the final look of the painting.
If you do decide to try an abstract style of painting: with these original paintings you will probably want to use acrylic paints. They are very affordable and they do give you a nice wide range of colors to choose from. You do not have to go with a solid color. You can create some very unique and wonderful colors by mixing and matching other pigments. Many times people will use many different colors in one painting to create an interesting look.
One thing you must know: about working with an original oil painting by a renowned original artist is that they generally start out as oils. The artist will add thin layers of latex and other types of solvents to keep the oil at the top of the painting. The reason for doing this is to slow down the evaporation process so that the colors can fully develop on the canvas.
You can add color in later paintings by using acrylics: If you decide to work with an oil painting by a famous original artist you should make sure that you understand the techniques that the artist uses. If you are looking at an abstract painting, you should take into consideration the ways in which the original artist was able to create the colors on the canvas. There are many great artists that you can choose to work with.
Just remember that the process of painting is very simple if you have an experienced artist with you that can guide you through the process.
