Just marked two of my least fav paintings as "not for sale". Will go over those two with markers and ink and have some FUN! *evil laughter*

You know what? I did it! I was so excited that I finally decided to go over some of my paintings I didn't like any more with markers I couldn't wait, so I went in! And now I LOOOOOVE them! I love them so much, I have to show you a sneek peek immediately! #mastoart #fineart #urbanabstraction
Thoughts are very welcome! ❤️

@TQ This is really cool! Were you hoping they would improve, or was this a pure happy accident?

@HerraBRE I was *sure* they would improve! I really disliked them before, so I went in with acrylic markers and acrylic ink. I've experimented with these media for the last months, and I've slowly developed my own style according to the things I like most about graffiti and tags. 😊

@TQ Nice to be right about such things! Developing your craft and style, great stuff. I like the outcome.

@HerraBRE And really, they were quite bad before according to my humble opinion, so nothing to lose, everything to gain! Like a blank page, but without the work! 😂

@TQ Being able to paint over your own canvasses is definitely more authentic than "updating" works you find in charity shops. But that seems like a legit resource for this kind of thing too, right?

@HerraBRE Might be, yes! Although information about the paint may not beavailable. With acrylic markers, I have to pick and choose the surface I paint on. They will stick to almost anything, but not on oil paint for example.

@TQ I'm no artist, but home DIY has taught me that all sorts of foundations / varnishes exist to cope with that sort of thing?

That reminds me, I should ping my tenant and ask how the bathroom is holding up - I repainted the bath tub and surroundings last week. 😁

@HerraBRE Haha, well. It always depends on how long it has to last! But in general - no acrylic over oil paint, ever. Just do a search on it. 😁

@TQ Yeah, taking a sander and a fresh bucket of paint to a peeling painting isn't exactly the experience art collectors are looking for.

Most of them anyway. 😜
