My hobby has
evolved from decoupage to painting now. I couldn't help myself from taking up
the brushes and start to paint a five petal flower and then to my favourite
flower, the hydrangea. It was daunting at first and after a week practice, I
feel more confident to paint it on the so many left over tiles lying on my
kitchen cabinet. It was difficult to paint on a shiny surface but then I learn
that you need to prime it first and that’s exactly what I did with “gesso”. I
use Reeves acrylic artist paint which I find easier to use, I also alternate it
with Martha Steward Acrylic paint. Painting had a feeling good effect on me, as
I paint I feel so much more relaxed and happy.
