Oil Painting Starter Kit

So I have just started an oil painting unit in my art class and I always loved the idea but I never learned how. I am in love! I cannot think of any media that I love more! I was told what we need to start at home and I thought it would be fun to share!

• Oil Paints: Obviously if you want to oil paint you need paint. Getting a few good quality oil paints is better than getting a really inexpensive kit with 30 colors. This will be a good choice to get plenty of white because the colored pigments go a long way when mixing! Quality before quantity!
• Paint Brushes: As soon as a brush touches oil paints, it has to be used for oil painting. It will not work for watercolor of acrylics because those are water-soluble, and oils and water don't mix. This should take most of you budget just getting quality brushes.
• Brush Roll: I can show you guys how to make your own brush roll to keep you expensive oil brushes in! It is extremely cheap and cute and easy to do!
• Palette: You do not need to spend more that a couple bucks. Do not use plastic though (the Turpenoid with eat through it)! Just get a piece of glass like from a frame and put masking take around the edges and voila! You have a pocket friendly palette!
• Metal Palette Knife: This can help you mix colors and even paint! It isn't an extreme necessity but it does make it easier! Make sure it is metal though because the Turpenoid will eat through the plastic ones! You only need one palette knife.
• Turpenoid: Not Turpentine! Turpenoid is the odorless paint thinner for artists! It makes the paints more smooth and liquidy but it takes a lot longer to dry.
• Canvas or Wallpaper: I am not really sure what else would be appropriate to paint on but I have seen these work!

I can do more in depth posts about the paintbrushes, paints, and other stuff!

My Favorite cutepolish Videos!

"cutepolish" is my favorite nail artist on YouTube. Here are the links to my favorite designs.

• Prom 2012
• Nautical
• Stormtrooper
• Moustache
• Cupcake
• Halloween Plaid

  I love how short and easy all of her designs are! I love how they dont need to be certain colors. The prom nails would look great with green or red! Some things like the Stormtrooper and Moustache cant easily be different colors, but the cupcake and plaid can be different colors for different holidays or moods.

Nail Art - Two Tones

  This tutorial is about using the trend of two tones.  My take on it is more about using the same color, but different hues.  I first tried out this pattern with purple and lavender. Then I tried gray/white, then red/hot pink, blue-green/lighter blue-green, and then a few others. I took pictures and here they are!


NYC Purple Pizazz w/Kiss Lavender



Sally Hansen Instadry Speedy Red w/Kiss Hot Pink



Ulta Gray w/Sinful Colors Bad Chick



Sinful Colors Gorgeous w/Kiss Teal



Sinful Colors I Love You w/JustShine Blackout

The designs themselves (from pinkie to thumb) are: Half Moon Manicure w/Raindrops; French Tip; Diagonal Tip w/Extra line; 3/5 of nail French Tip; Grid.  Tell me which colors YOU try by email or comment.  Luv y'all!

Haul 15-Artist Stuff

Here is the first haul that I have done in AGES!!! So today I went to Michael's and got some awesome art supplies!

First I got some cork. The peices are shaped like flowers and I thought that I could do something interesting with it! It was on sale for 79 cents! To good of a deal to give up.

Then I went in to the store and got what I was looking for...I was looking for a kneadable earaser for my art class and I found a couple different ones. First I found a small earaser for about $1.69. Then I found one that was three times the size for only $2.00. Then my mom found a three pack for $2.50 that had the following: the small kneadable earaser, a cube of gum earaser for graphite pencil, and a third that was a plastic earaser for graphic and colored pencil. I was so happy to find this because it was a great deal!

Then I got some blending stumps: 2 large, 2 small, and 2 different kinds of medium. These are very nice and were only $2.29!

Hope yall enjoyed! <3
