You do not a great deal of money to paint, nor to create a masterpiece. My favorite painting I have done was done with a .50 piece of tile I found in an old apartment, along with a few choice colors of acrylic paint. I also added a few river rocks (using a glue gun) for dimension. Choose a photo that is worth replicating, preferably one nature ridden, as it is easy to embellish realistically. Select a photo that is dear to you and your soul, just paint an outline, wash with a few prominent colors, and embellish the rest. The work of art will be a treasure to you for a lifetime. That is exactly how I feel about my "Searching the Sea" piece. It may not be worth much to the average collector; yet I would not sell it in a million years. Have fun and create a piece of yourself to last throughout the years! Please send us a pic of your work:)
***acrylic paints cost as low as .50cents per tube***
***quick note about the piece above: there used to be small pebbles glued to the bottom left, as well. Through the years and many moves they have fallen off.. Guess I should get a few more to glue on there!***
