When I finish one of my paintings on paper I wait a few days for it to be completely dry because the next step to finishing the painting is to make sure it's completely flat, so after air drying I put the each painting down on a flat surface and on top of the painting I lay a few really heavy books on it for a couple of days. This is: Winters need Color Currently in the flattening process. I created her with Golden Paints acrylic paint which are the best acrylics on the market, on Acid Free paper. After her flattening process she'll be sprayed with a UV protective varnish to keep from yellowing or fading prior to getting listed onto my website. If you're interested in purchasing this painting before I list it on my website that's fine to contact me and I'll reserve it for you or if you'd like for me to create a custom painting all your own I would be happy to do that too just contact me.

So the other day I was asked why I create paintings on paper and thought because I'm asked this question often I felt it was worthy of it's own post. I think a lot of people are under the impression that fine art paintings are only created on canvas but the reality is that artwork on paper has been around since the 2nd Century in China where paper was invented. Artists such as DaVinci and other artists of the 15th Century fine tuned their paintings and sculptures by sketching on paper prior to finishing their masterpieces. It was Picasso and Barque who worked with paper and created artwork with collage and introduced us to works on paper and of course Matisse only worked with paper to create his artwork. Fast forward to today and there are several artists including myself who create art on paper. There's also a huge variety of paper available for Artist's to work with depending on the type of work on paper they're creating and there are also various grades of paper for artists to choose from, there's very average paper to high quality (professional grade) paper. Personally I only use high quality, heavyweight paper to create my paintings on paper because I want my collectors to enjoy their paintings for a lifetime. The paper I work with is always high quality professional grade paper which is acid free and purposely manufactured to last a lifetime. In a future post I'll write about why I enjoy offering my paintings on paper to my collectors and the enjoyment that goes into creating my paintings on paper. For further reading I've added a link from Christies. Thanks for visiting, if you have any questions for me feel free to contact me.
