Through One's Eyes

Through One's Eyes

I have started this new thread for others to share and enjoy The World of Art. The title is a reflection on the many different views and ways of seeing art that is very subjective to the viewer.

Anyone can share a piece they have produced, are working on or would like to one day 'get around to doing'.

Many 'forumites' use art as a form of therapy or grounding/coping strategies - so please also share your experiences of these also.

It is also a place to discuss what people like, dislike are drawn to and the feelings ellicited from producing and viewing any pieces.

Feel free to add images or topics of discussion and enjoy the wonderful world that we can share through Art.

Re: Through One's Eyes

It’s to do with the pigments that are used to make the colours @CheerBear . They are drawn from a wide variety of sources, and are essentially the same ones that were used by the masters, fmground up and mused with egg tempera. Bearing that in mind, some can be toxic, so handle with care .... gloves or barrier cream, and wash it off your skin as it can be absorbed through that barrier.

Sone pigments are synthesised now, which can make them safer ..... sonethjibg to eat in mind with fur-babies too.

It doesn’t mean don’t use them, just practice art-materials safety. You can look up pigments yo know what you’re using and how to manage it.

@Zoe7

Enjoy making art ❣️

Re: Through One's Eyes

My banana brain understands Martian well @Faith-and-Hope 😉 I totally forgot about the whole potentially toxic thing! Too many years of having only non-toxic, washable, poster paint around maybe :face_with_rolling_eyes: I'm incredibly clumsy and messy and have so much paint everywhere but where it should be. I'll keep that in mind thanks F&H

@Zoe7 and @Faith-and-Hope

I added some white to a magenta I have been having disappearing trouble with and it worked! I wanted to show you because I was super excited (I need magenta in my life and was getting very frustrated it wasn't working).

It was going a yucky see through red brown colour before and now it dried to this. Big thanks again 🙂👍

Re: Through One's Eyes

Thanks @Zoe7. It still has a bit to go but I'm happy with the way it's coming along (and happier with colour pops not puddles) 😊
