I’m considering getting into painting 3d printed statues. Seems like a good idea to relax and do something without a monitor.
Information I found so far are all over the place.
$30 airbrush and a small compressor vs $300, paint the statue disassembled vs assembled,…
It’ll take some time to distill the information and figure out how to approach it. #3dprinting #painting
I pivoted towards canvas panels bc yeah: I noticed people bought artwork on the panels as often as they buy my works on paper.
Stretched canvas take up A LOT of space, both in my room and at markets. A lot of these markets, you only get 6 foot tables. It's the same with wood panels of 1/2" or more.
But having a sturdy canvas to paint on is great...
I like are these new aluminum panels that you can paint on. I only have a few bc I'm figuring them out.
Yeah I wasn't thinking properly like 2-3 years ago.
I really like stretched canvas. But canvas pads and canvas panels fit easier into my artisan market setup.
I feel like people may be less intimidated by canvas panels when looking to buy my work? Framed work has NOT sold well at markets. Gallery spaces? We'll see I guess.
I have a fair amount of 1/2" and 5/8" depth canvas. But I also have 1.5" and 2" depth, the kind you start seeing more with gallery and museum paintings.

Good afternoon.
Happened to be in the garage. Found some canvas.
Between the basement and the garage, I have enough canvas to last me over a year.
(I cannot eat canvas though.)
I decided to stop hoarding canvas at least 2 years ago. But now I am stuck with... a buttload of canvas.
(I can paint on it obviously, but I need more linseed oil. )
Also I'm a bit burnt out mentally and emotionally.
Canvas panels/pads are much more space efficient.
#AncientEgypt: "The origin of one #blue pigment was lost to time. This dye was regularly found on artefacts from ancient Egypt, and still used by the #Romans. But now, researchers from Washington State University have recreated this blue pigment."

May the artwork take you out onto the water on a perfect day, filled with sunshine, freedom, and companionship.
This is Luna. Her portrait was painted with acrylics on a 9x12 sheet of cold press watercolor paper, June 2025.
I am into all things beachy at the moment. Summer is in full swing and the ocean calls!
