Acrylics and pastels. Trying to get back into water colors.

I love painting with acrylics. When I was younger I used oil paints. Acrylics dry so much faster and are more versatile. (And cleaning the brushes is a breeze!)

I started making mosaics with broken wine and beer bottles. It doesn't require talent, just a lot of patience.

I like your vintner painting, btw. It looks great!

I do everything. My motto is "whatever works". Here are a couple of things indicative of my work, but there's lots more...I welcome the opportunity to chat and share with other artists!

I am. Trained as a functional potter. I also do cast iron sculpture and printmaking.

I am currently working in ceramics, leather, and metal props, mainly for my historical re-enactment group. Here's pic of a bust of Tesla and a couple of mugs I made recently. I've also worked in other media from Illustrator to punk rock cartoons.

What kind of re-enactment? I'm an on again off again member of the SCA...

@Freespirit64 I mainly do pirate reenactment. Our membership overlaps with SCA. We also do Wild West, steampunk, and Victorian. We just did a private party with Visigoths, medieval knights jousting, and us shooting our flintlocks and cannons.

That sounds absolutely wonderful! I love that stuff! It's so much fun. So. Much. Fun!

I love art in general but I love to paint with my toddler we haven't in a while been moving a lot lately but she and I love abstract art and tie die art.

I like ceramics myself. Also work with the arts and youth so it is my passion..plus its great therapy.

Wow, nice job on your sky wine! Just tried acrylics last weekend - they dry soo fast! Usually do pencils, ink, charcoal, or watercolor - like the Trump Head reaching down to touch the hearts of Trumpublicans everywhere. It wasn't Palin, but we got 'P' eed on anyway.

I teach art to elmentry students

@Paintmebright sound fun. I need to add that can of class too. How do you think theater and creative writing would go over?

@Paintmebright everything is more fun with wine.

Yes, I'm an 'amateur Artist here in Broken Hill, NSW, Australia, very little actual 'Art Training,' except for in High School, I use acrylic paints, old house paints or whatever I can get that is available fairly cheaply.
I also carve Emu Eggs when I can legally get them.
I've attached a couple of my amateur works for anyone who is interested to have a look at them.

Sorry, I don't think they attached properly, I'll try adding them to my profile instead.

@Triphid
I had to look them up on your profile. I like that you used corrugated metal? Is that what that is? The Egyptian hieroglyphics are cool too!

Oh yes...Emu eggs? That's a new one for me and quite fascinating. Love to see pics of those.

I fancy myself an artist, although I've never sold a painting. I do clay sculpting and oil painting. I see you are from El Paso--that's where I was born/raised!

@Paintmebright No, I have not been back in probably ten years!

Paint by numbers? Hows el paso. I was at ft. Bliss for 2yrs. I miss all the good food, and clubs.

Hi Paintmebright,I use acrylic paint as oil paints take too long to dry.But I like the look of oil paintings better.
