The up-cycled ( re used) easel came with two pots of fabric paints and I used them to experiment in some deep art work this week. Working among a group of other artists, I started this project on Tuesday and finished it off today (Sunday). The fabric paints on paper have a rather washed out look. But the black, premium red and gold acrylic give it the texture that I much prefer to see in paintings.
So note to self about using fabric paints only on fabric and not on paintings for walls and interior decoration.
I think it the painting looks like some post apocalyptic flower trying to burst through into a beautiful bloom. I wonder if it will make it.
Nevertheless, I am rather glad that I got the easel and the fabric paints from the show flat of the apartment block. Who knows where they might have ended up.
