Invest n joy three 4x4" wood blocks
I'm always looking for new things to paint on. Repurposed art is so cool to me because it gives new life to old, worn out objects.
Recently I have been working with wood. I am really enjoying this! I love the dimension and texture of the wood and I can be rough with it. Sometimes I just like to hit things with a hammer!
I treat the wood like any other surface. First sand the edges, next gesso it , then add my collage elements and paint, finish with a gel medium for protection, then I add the hanging hardware to the back. EASY!
One tip... if wood is damp at all, allow it to dry out for 48 hrs.
Think of all the possibilities!
Fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the possibilities! My mind is spinning... Thanks for a lovely post.
