  1. Hello, I'm Sunny, the group leader of the Painters! Feel free to share your paintings, painting tips, and anything related to painting here!
  2. Yay! We get a place like this? This is amazing.

    So I'm just going to share this tip because it changed my life. Back when I first started painting I was pretty... amature. I didn't learn that much from school and things were just blah. I ended up taking private lessons and I was introduced to Gesso. That stuff is amazing.

    It helps you get consistency in your coverage of your paints so that you aren't making it so watered down it has no substance while you're still able to fill all of the holes. Using water and gesso improved my art so much I'll never paint without them again.


I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
