and it is oh so comforartble in my black checkboard living room. I am glad I went with all white leather.
I just hope it doesnt turn out to be a real pain to keep clean.
So how do you keep you upholstery and other furniture clean?

Faux finnish walls and glazesBufordbiffer.....watercolor and gauche are more difficult than oil I think because errors and "dislikes" can be corrected easier in an oil medium.......I have found that watercolor and gauche requires a better quality of paper whereas oil can be happy with almost any canvas, etc. Also pen and ink requires a fine grade for control purposes. Art makes the heart sing and the soul have depth. |

Faux finnish walls and glazesThanks nsbradley! You are too kind. I was going to put up a picture of my Scottie for you, but her pictures usually come out just a black blob unless one can catch her in profile! I will do one yet. |

Faux finnish walls and glazesbroncofan46......Will anxiously await the dear Scottie in all her glory!......they are not only lovely but "sturdy" - when one is lifted into one's arms they are a handful/armful! Unfortunately the closest I have ever had a Scottie was the life-size toy I used to sit on in the car when I was about 3 .....it allowed me the height to be able to see over the dashboard in order to see thru the windshield..........Arfs! |

Faux finnish walls and glazes
NS, Yes...I agree about the genetic component. You know me too well...I was looking for an artistic adventure. But also for something to put on the wall...LOL. Chances are excellent that, if I could afford to buy a painting, it would be an abstract. The process of trying to create one that's "wall worthy" should prove fun. A stupid question...when I was looking online at acrylic paints, I saw that they dry quickly. Would that create a problem with returning to the painting later? How about with oils?

Faux finnish walls and glazesCorvid.......yes, the process of trying to create is akin to a treasure "seek" (I do not like the "h" word A decent brush means alot; but the canvas need not be of a superior quality. Art is so relaxing because of the creativity involved - not tedious as painting a wall, etc. would be. Know your quest will be fulfilling even thru the times it feels as if you are disappointed - have confidence in you! |

.)........actually if there are any galleries in the vicinity sometimes there is very affordable art as many novices/new artists are trying to sell their works........no question about art can be described as "stupid" cause your interest in the subject is in itself commendable......in answer to your question: one can correct acrylic even though they do tend to have a quick drying factor.....oils of course dry less quickly and are easier to correct as the oil component allows for easier and frequent "do not like that stroke/area" fixer uppers. Also oil provides for "texture" to cover that which one seeks to cover!
