When I heard of his death I knew there would be many people trying to profit from it all. Which I guess isn't bad because after all everybody needs money and if they have painted a great painting of him or made some other artistic tribute to him and are selling it, more power to them. I don't think Michael would mind because he loved his fans and wanted them to succeed.

Acrylic Painting - The Modern Genre of Painting

The modern art that is being preferred over canvas or oil painting nowadays is the acrylic painting, which comes handful in many ways. Acrylic painting has become the genre of modern painting due to its flexibility, depending upon the type of ingredients that it is made up of. The water resistant property, of the acrylic painting materials, make it more popular than any other form of painting, where there is a chance of water damage to the paintings on coming in contact with water.

The basic reasons why acrylic painting has been taken up over its primitive forms of painting may be pointed out as follows:

Acrylic paints are soluble with water, but once they are dried up, they are absolutely water resistant and cannot be tarnished by water damage.

Depending upon the composition of the acrylic painting materials, they can represent the properties seen among art made of watercolors or oil paints.

The property or luster effect of acrylic paints vary greatly according to their dilution with water or application of acrylic gels. These may resemble watercolors or oil paints or may even bring out certain unique characteristics of the acrylic painting itself, which would not be available using any other media.

Unlike most other painting styles acrylic painting could be done on any texture ranging from cement to wood, along with the general canvas, plaster, etc.; at times it is also used as fabric painting style, due to the easy dry capacity.

Even removal of acrylic paint does not require the usage of turpentine, as was necessary in case of oil paints, thus reducing the chances of allergies and persistent odors.

Problems incurred while acrylic painting is done!

Though there are various advantages to acrylic painting, there are certain drawbacks to perform it freely and could be considered positive on very few occasions. These may be summarized as:

Acrylic paints provide a very small period of drying time and for that reason, the blending of colors becomes very challenging. In case of oil paints the painter could have his own time allowing the paints to blend among them, before applying them on the texture.

To perform acrylic painting, the person has to be an adept painter, as he would get very less time to blend the colors and apply his requisite strokes dexterously pretty fast. Some consider this to be an advantage, as the paint dries off quickly but others find it a hindrance to their work.

Thus, the necessity of acrylic painting can be observed in a manner that evokes quality of watercolor painting as well as oil or canvas painting, with the help of a single painting style. Acrylic painting may have its cons, but the basic fact remains that it does the same work in much lesser time in comparison to the other form of the art. It is quite natural that an advanced form of painting style like this one would be taken up by professionals only, but nowadays people of various strata have started using acrylic paints to their advantage.

Just like you every living artist has a bad day...

It doesn't matter what you do nothing seems to go right. And, when it goes wrong there is nothing you can do to put things right. When you are drawing, the sheet of paper on your drawing board slips... Oh no! There's an unsightly line that you know can't be removed. If you try to get rid of the mistake all that will happen is that you will lose some of your best work.

Then, there will be other days... you are working on a watercolor landscape. Some parts of the picture have worked really well. You are justifiably pleased. Soon you are going to finish your best painting ever. There's only a little more to do. Then disaster strikes...

"The last color wash is all wrong"

This isn't what you want, it is ruined. The painting doesn't work. There is nothing you can do, it is scrap. Another time, you will be standing at your easel with palette in hand. You have been working hard on your latest oil painting. You have just placed the last highlight to give the picture its full depth and it is finished.

It should be an impressive result. There is plenty of action in the picture. But, when you stand back from the easel you realize that the painting you have finished is not the masterpiece you planned...

The balance of the picture is wrong. Some of the figures you have toiled away at are in the wrong place. The story the painting tells doesn't make sense. You feel the pain of disappointment and ask yourself the question...

"Is there anything I can do to rescue something from the failure?"

Yes, sometimes there is something you can do to rescue a painting failure. And, the great thing is that you don't always have to do any more painting.

"What can you do to rescue a painting failure?"

First, you need to stand back and look carefully at your drawing or painting...

There will be good parts in the painting
There will be strong, well painted areas that you are happy with
There will be details that you know you have painted expertly
Some parts of the picture will have a good feel

All is not lost... Let the good parts of the painting stand out in your mind and ask yourself 3 questions...

"Is there a painting within the painting?"
"Is there a smaller, stronger and better picture hiding away?"
"Is there a hidden masterpiece?"

You could be surprised to discover a better picture within your painting. The idea is to crop the larger painting to reveal the real masterpiece. You are looking to reframe your drawing or painting until you find the quality you are going to be happy with...

Find some blank paper (writing paper, newspaper, or scrap) and totally cover the painting
Next, rearrange the paper so that you open a square or rectangular window to reveal a small part of the picture beneath
Open up the window and reveal the best area of your work
Continue to enlarge and reduce the window until you find the masterpiece you are looking for

Take time looking for the best in your artwork. You could find more than one great picture waiting to be found. This is great...

When you have found the finished drawing you can mount and frame the picture ready to hang

The bad parts of your watercolor painting can be hidden by the mount and frame

But beware...

"For an oil painting you will need to cut it down to size to fit over the stretcher framework"

This is a drastic action. Take time before you decide to cut. If you get it wrong you will have destroyed everything. All the hard work could be lost.

So, without adding a single brush full of paint you can rescue disappointing drawing and painting failures. With time and care you can recover them and find quality artwork when you thought all your good work was gone...
