Description
oils on luaun/luaninspired in part by some of the verses from
The Greatest Show On Earth
by The Feeling
I don't wanna stay anymore
I'm gettin out that's for sure
How could I leave here alone
Honey won't you please come along?
Let's get outta here
Take what you need nothing more
We've got a lot to explore
Fear of the world kept us in
Safe from the dirt & the sin
& yes I'm terrified coz when you're out you know there's no return
I don't wanna be in this house no more
Gotta get out they're boring the hell outta me
I don't wanna be in this house no more
I gotta get outta here before it kills me
It's gonna kill me

This is truly art itself, I'm so very amazed at this. I honestly thought it was a photo, and my eyes rarely fail me like that. Excellent beyond words, and a definite fave.

wow i love that light shining through the trees it looks so real.
im working on my first oil painting right now what is luaun/luan
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Luan is a type of wood, it's used for flooring. It's sold in thin sheets like ply-wood, but it's not compressed particle board like ply-wood
anyhoo, it's cheaper than canvas especially when you know someone in construction & get as much as you want

youre welcome do you no if paneling is good to paint on because ive got a huge piece of it and canvas is to expensive for me to

ummmm not sure..... maybe if you use the back (the smoother side) & a few of layers of gesso to give it some tooth, it might work

does Luan have a rough texture
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's super smooth, but a bit of gesso does the trick. The only part I've found that's really tricky is using a knife on the board, it doesn't break the paint the same way it would on canvas
