Why I hate Acrylics

[Tecumsea]

I guess i'm not the first this has happened to....

Unopened bottle from the Andrea Blue set and after extensive poking with a pin!

Picture doesn't show my trousers, jumper and hands.......LOL

Oops.

 

[DaddyO]

Good grief - still you should see my desk after I've knocked over a bottle of turps

 

[OldTaff]

Yes, but it all looks very nice and blue, Keith......I like the highlights on the central blob; how did you paint that?

 

[bigtodd]

Keith,

When mine occurred it was black brown color. I still think there is a drop or two on the wall that I missed when trying to clean up........

 

[Tecumsea]

Todd, I've spotted some on a side cabinet and first on the list at Telford is a replacement cutting mat! Fortunately I keep my WIP figures under glass domes on my painting desk so nothing was damaged....that wouldn't have been funny!

Alan, It's a new weathering technique I'm working on!

Is that the ltd edition Papa Smurf figure?

Stick a little boat in the middle and you have a lovely little water effect diorama

Easy solution to that one Keith, buy it in tubes, plenty of blues to choose from and it dries as F.A.F.

 

[Tubby-Nuts2]

You all do realise that this is just a cover. The truth being is that acrylics especially blue, hate Keith.

Keith there is a bright (blue)side , You could become the latest member of this group .

I saw them in the States , really brilliant

 

[chippy]

This is a better one , you have to stay with it for about 3 mins .

Bluer than the Infanta's eyes or the stone of Galveston and for free.You should be thanking Andrea for this unique treat!Acrylics are full of surprises and that is one more reason why I love them.

[Tecumsea]

Thank you all for your suggestions and helpful comments..........

What the picture didn't show was my expensive Rohan Fleece covered in blue splatters, my arms, hands and trousers.

I've decided to wear it all to the White Rose Christmas bash, stand on the exhibition table and see if I win a prize......LOL

Woad?

[Tony Dawe]

Not exactly a disaster Keith.

A bit of water will clean that up nicely.

 

[OldTaff]

Woad?

Geoff

NO, his Mum always told him, not to play with the Celts , 'cos it's dangerous to walk in the middle of the woad........I'll get me coat.....
