Hello - I always try to reply to all, but in this case find your wording a little difficult? :-( Did I pass gesso? As the film shows I simply painted arylic inks onto watercolour paper and then work over with soft pastels. Its a very vibrant and fluid way to work requiring nothing more. I have never had a need for gesso in any of my work as yet. I do hope that this answers your question?
@Chippy215Boss hes english, but so am i and i know what your asking. when using canvas you should use one or two coats of thin gesso or white acrylic, its the same stuff. stops your painting from just absorbing into the cotton.
Thankyou for adding to the gesso question. Glad you saw another angle . This artwork was on watercolour paper & method used relevant to this. So I did not consider canvas in my reply? Yes, using acrylic inks on another material priming is important. Most pre primed canases are with acrylic, but often absorbant. You can use the same fluid method on canvas, wet in wet, adding more primer or even acrylic/pva medium to the surface to resist this if wished.Soft pastels not good then, paint better.
I tend to use 3 types for different reasons - 300 lb waterford rough for street scenes and figures, 140 lb Arches hot pressed for pastel with water or watercolour over acrylic inks, and Waterford 140 lb not for this type of work, snow scenes, or normal watercolour. But Bokingford is also good for not paper.
Kind of you - my thanks! :-) I had hoped so but it would be nice to actually have the galleries / public feel the same and pay fair prices - I ended up with just £500 for the sale of my last 20 years of work in a London auction, valued at about £25,000. Could not be there to sort it as was on my way back from France trusting them??? Ah well back to the drawing board literally. Need an agent to handle my stuff? Ccannot find one ! Such is life. :-) By all means see my website, rest of my films
Thanks sooo much!!! I have been looking for such inks for a long, long time, with no luck. I went to a course 20 yrs ago where we used them (or very similar, same bottles) in combination with water colors and gouache and never forgot how much fun I had trying those inks (the teacher let us use her inks)... So much fun! She called them marker inks though, but all I found was other types of inks... Until NOW!!! Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw your bottles!!! :)
Thats great - yes it must have been very annoying not being able to trace the inks you liked later! Do look at my wesbite for more uses of the acrylic inks - especially for painting bright flowers using them for underpainting with pastels over the top? Peter
Yes, you do share your world with me, and how I appreciate it. You deserve 5 stars on every video. I feel very tired these days, so please be patient with me.
The painting of the Macaw is so beautiful, and I have attempted to give a five star rating, but, for some reason I cannot get it recognized. But, I do give 5 stars.
What a delightful comment to arrive to this morning Maria! :-) Thankyou very much and such words make sharing what I do here truly worthwhile.
It and all of my work are for sale - my situation here in the outbacks of France and the recession mean that my market is very limited - so all prices on my website are below half price! As you enjoy my work - should you be entrepeneureal I seek agents in both Australia and America to market my films?! :-) So pleased that my work gave you pleasure.
I am a lover of good art , and always have been. I spent 3 months bedridden when only 13, and I sketched wild horses from comics. When I returned to school, the dividing doors which separated the classrooms were pushed back, and my paintings and pencil and charcoal drawings were put on display. My life now is confined to my bed, as I battle a terminal illness. Your beautiful works have given me such pleasure. Thank you for allowing me into your world.
Aha! You are the Maria I write to already via Wilma - and I share my world and life here in France so you may travel from your bed in your mind into my world? :-) Great. It threw me with your writing here! :-) OK so how about a 5 star rating then ? LOL

I really liked the drawings before you painted them but they came alive with the colour.

Yes - it was the colour that attracted me to this subject and why I used Acrylic Inks

I have attempted to answer about your video, but, it does not move from Comment Pending Approval.

Such beautiful work! What a pleasure to watch an artist with such talent bring the beautiful Macaws into our homes.
Well done Peter. Bravo! Beautiful does not express your work, as it far surpasses even such a simple word.
