That painting is almost as thick as it is wide, haha! I don't understand people who don't paint the sides of a picture when it's on stretched canvas or whatever you said that was, did you say it was thick board? It looks really thick!! I saw a video the other day by this guy who had a whole load of paintings to sell but he said "I've just gotta paint the sides first," then proceeded to paint them all black! On the handful of canvases I've actually finished I've always painted a continuation of the picture. But I always choose the thinnest stretcher i can find, purely for practical reasons: they take up less room in storage, but mostly so they're not too heavy and can hang on my wall with sticky hooks. What did you mean when you said you had a studio but had barely painted any acrylics? You do not paint like a beginner so you must have been painting with something else... but what? BTW I quite like the finished picture. It's at least as good as the old version. PS: I use paint pens sometimes, but only in black and white. I don't think I'd stretch to coloured pens because they run out so quick. I painted my friend's Lakeland terrier in a cartoon style outlined in black paint marker and used an entire pen on an A4 canvas. And that was just outlining a dog inside a flash of colour. By the way your voice sounds familiar, do you review fountain pen stuff? That's where I think I remember you from.
Fantastic video, enjoyed to the end ☺☺☺
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks @Chantelle!
