Come along on my painting safari! This time I try out creating a Lion and his flowing mane using a combination of traditional painting with a brush and fluid acrylic painting with a piece of kitchen cotton string. It is all done using Craft Acrylic Paints and a lot of patience.
(When things get really repetitive I do put the video into speed video mode. The Painting took me about 2.5 hours from start to finish)
When folks say you can do a real painting with Craft Paints it is just going to take more layers believe them! It will take many layers but the effect is worth it!
