Playing with Liquitex spray paints

Okay I wrote my first review about the spray paints and I wasn't too pleased with the fact that one of the cans clogged up after my first application. I called Omer Desseres where I purchased them and they were willing to do an exchange....cool. Normally they are sticklers on their return policy especially since it clearly states no returns for spray paint on the receipt.

Anyhow I played around a bit with the paints, spraying random colours and dragging some of the colour with my paint brush and some of my palette knives....real cool how the colour underneath a fresh spray comes through.






I love how the different colours pop on this part. 


The first painting which I played with has already been sold. I need to do a little more detailing with the white. I am using a Liquitex concentrated titanium white, so it is quite bright. I like it and so does Nathalie (who bought it) I will then let it sit for a week and add the final varnish and do the edges so that she can hang it right away.

I will put my textured mediums away for a bit and keep playing with the sprays. Maybe I can start making some money instead of giving work away for a change.

I need to get some prints done of my water colours and having a hard time finding a reputable place in Montreal to do Giclee prints. I have a couple of places to check out next week.

I also want to check out the Artist shop in NDG that sells other artist's works on commission.
