On 2009-10-20 23:01, LOL Tiki wondered:
So what's the story with the recent use of cel animation vinyl and masonite?

Well,Ro...
This is one of those stories where
after years of putting it off
and half-heartedly listening to fellow artists
there it was!
right there around the corner from the ink brush pens and stuff
at the Art Supply Warehouse in Westminster
waaaay down from the acrylics
there it was!
so i bought some....
Paintpens are good to finish a piece's blackline fast
but the line width is something that needed 2-3 passes
to get that thick thin look
with acrylics
it's not always a solid line
so it was dip-paint-dip-go back over
Carpal-Tunnel friendly technique there! :lol:
whereas a paintpen.... no dipping
the lines with Acrylic were 1/2 opaque-half/transparent
BUT!
Cel Animation Vinyl
dries Matte
dries fast
and you can load a LOT of paint on a brush
and unlike enamel
you can clean your brushes with soap and water....
Bought about 6 new colors last week
and was quite pleased with how they CAN work with acrylics
quite well
mixing-wise...
i think the technique of acrylic underpainting thru washes
slight washes of Cel Animation Vinyl
then...
3 seconds after it's dry
a nice opaque blackline
and some opaque "poppy" highlights...
Second query....
What's with the masonite?
Well....
Monkeyman commissioned a painting
and so
as part of the payment
He cut 11 16x20 panels of masonite
whilst visiting at the CHOP!
He is the Clown king of Tools!

Of course, Toe was there and mooched 2 panels
So he owes me those..
(Hopefully, he'll paint something purdy on em...)
Oh yeah...
and a surfboard...
almost forgot about that...
and close to $10 for that Honkin tube of Naples Yellow..
Watch that guy
if you lend him something
GET IT IN WRITING!
:lol:
What a MAROON!
:lol:

so, if said airplane crashes on the way TO or FROM Seattle
i would like one of those 2 panels to contain a commemorative LLT portrait
Have him give that surfboard to Clysdalle
so he can practice on it
and get good someday... :lol:
and the $10 can be split amongst the 1-3 people
who weep at the funereal...

That is all!
luv ya mean it!
