A summer day in 1888, Pont-Aven, Brittany: the grass turned red and Jesus turned green. Paul Gauguin, Emile Bernard and others (including Irish painter Roderic O’Conor) created a new page in the history of art. The fertile artistic spirit of Pont-Aven lives on in Hangar’t. The participants do not sign their works and some do not remember who created which paintings, to them, it doesn’t matter! They are farmers, architects, butchers, crepe makers, carpenters, retirees, and do not consider themselves “artists” but critics, such as Caroline Boyle-Turner ‘beg to differ’. Their shared memory of a rural village, Nizon, emerges in their works, which turn old documents and pictures from family albums and old shoe-boxes into paintings. Initially a small collective, now more than 80 artists have realised at least one painting at the Hangar’t workshop.


Aynslee Moon Smithee has a B.F.A. in painting from the University of Mississippi in Oxford and an M.F.A. in painting from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Her artwork focuses on intimate family moments, interior spaces, landscapes, and small objects that capture her attention.
Throughout her process she explores color language, composition, the poetics of light and shadows, and sensitive, gestural mark-making. She works in a variety of media, mainly oil paints, charcoal, and watercolor. She is also a mother, a minister, and a part-time instructor at The University of Alabama in Huntsville.


You should be mindful of some key factors when hiring a residential painter to do the job. Residential painters are different from those that cater to businesses.
The exterior and interior of a house painted for a residential customer requires care, sensitivity, and an understanding of their personal taste. The home they own is probably their biggest investment. Professional painters know that homeowners want to find out if the house has moisture issues or ventilation issues, or whether there are better solutions that can improve its look. While many homeowners could paint themselves, for convenience, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, they hire professional commercial and residential painting.
Residential painters will interrupt your life for a brief period. The company you hire should be able to accommodate your schedule and work around obstructions. Does the painting contractor or company that you plan to hire know about your neighbor’s presence? Does the painter wear a uniform shirt? Also, you might want to inquire if the employees can play loud songs or swear inside your house or yard. You should always remember that the painting contractors are an indication of how well you use your judgment.
Residential painting projects are all different. Every homeowner has a short list of two or even three tasks to complete. Carpenters are available at some painting companies who will install trim, siding, doors, or add closets.
It is important to choose a contractor who can provide quality work. On the market, you can find a variety of types of and paints of different quality. You should ask what paint the company will use. Paint brands with better warranties are more expensive. Better quality paint will result in a better finish when you are painting trims and interior walls.

With the UN’s 17+1 Sustainable Development Goals and at least as many artists on hand to interpret them, the City of Turin has had a lot of new artworks on walls throughout the city.
Tapping into a universal language of art and murals that has spread throughout cities around the world, this project imagines meeting all these goals by 2030. Here we present a short documentary that introduces the originators of this mural program, the artists who are painting, and the city of Turin.

Early this morning I decided to drag out my painting supplies. It'd been awhile, months, since I'd done anything. It was a very awkward, weird feeling. At first, I really didn't even know what to do, or where to begin. And I really didn't want to mess up and waste a canvas. But, I finally just threw myself into it...and I did the best work I've ever done.
I was honestly super proud of myself. (Um. Josh just told me to tell you guys that he loves me. So, there's that.) This painting really showed me how much I've grown as an artist, and what I can really do. It's such a neat feeling! And I really can't wait to throw myself back into painting.

George Crocket became interested in art through his “wonderful art teachers” at Worthington High School and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), where he was formally trained. Most of his work features landscape paintings done with pastels, which create beautiful, color rich images.
In recent years, Crocket has created abstract works that are much different from the landscape art he has spent many years perfecting. Getting started is the hardest part, and he finds solace in the words of Pablo Picasso, who said, “Inspiration exists but has to find us working.” While Crocket prepares for his next work of art, he often has no idea where the painting will take him. “It’s the little surprises that happen in the process,” he says, that motivate him. He is always looking for the element of mystery in the end product—whether it is within his new abstracts or his trusted landscapes.
Crocket’s favorite places to find inspiration can be found in the southeastern part of the state, near Wisconsin and Iowa. He’ll travel the region’s backroads to explore new vistas of inspiration. He plans to write about his adventures and the people he has met during his journeys.
Crocket’s work is on display at the Arts Consortium of Carver County’s Art Center in Victoria.

A ‘shimmering thing at the edge of analysis’: Figure/ground and the paintings of Agnes Martinpurchase PDF
Authors: Simon Morley
Agnes Martin,Mark Rothko,figure/ground,the haptic,neuroaesthetics,vision and visuality
My specific focus is the relationship of figure/ground segregation in painting to the pressures of impermanence, non-differentiation and non-duality. Figure/ground assignment depends on the mind’s ability to establish, process and stabilize clear contrasts or dualisms within the visual field, which then become the basis for all cognitive binaries. The flat, framed format of painting makes figure/ground assignment a central issue. Normally, when we perceive an image we also consign a background to imperception, but blurring out of fine detail, softening of sharp edges and contrast sensitivity frustrate this perceptual activity, undermining the distinction between presence and absence, and bringing to light an undifferentiated foundation. I discuss the physiology and phenomenology of vision, and research in the neurosciences, and focus on the paintings of the American artist Agnes Martin (1912–2004) and the challenge they pose to stable figure/ground assignment. Within her work I identify the shifting shape of non-normative subjectivity.


“On the wall of my studio hangs a picture from the Sept. 7, 1995, edition of the Littleton Independent,” wrote painter Martha Canum. “It is of the Rapp Street Artists’ Studio artists busily preparing for a special showing at the Depot Art Center. Some of these artists are still active, a few not so much,” she recalls of the 20 or so members, who included rita derjue, Addie Voils, Delores Peterson, Skippy Haggerty and others. “What a time we had!”
Canum moved to Southern California to be with her children in the 1990s, then returned to the Colorado town of Delta in 2000, where she found interesting arts activities.
Five years ago, she moved to Castle Rock with her daughter and son-in-law, Cheryn and John Weathers. “It’s a wonderful place,” she said.
Her daughter says that Canum was born and raised in Colorado, growing up with a love of the outdoors and gardening.
For a time, she lived in Japan, and spent time in Hong Kong and China, which affected her perspective on the world and how she paints it.
Canum majored in art at the University of Northern Colorado and came back to her love of art after her children were grown, studying in classes with local and national painters.
An inventory of paintings often travels with an artist as she covers the miles and years. Canum, a prolific painter in watercolors, oils, pastels and acrylics, of landscapes, florals, still lifes and more, is invited to exhibit about 60 of her works in a show called “Martha Canum: Four Seasons” at the Denver Art Gallery, 2516 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, from June 8 to 25. An opening reception is planned from 3 to 5 p.m. on June 8.
Because she has been away from the area, she is still hoping to find ways to reconnect with old artist friends and former patrons who live nearby. She thinks others from the local group may be interested in exhibiting work at the Denver Art Gallery.

Neo-pop artist pays tribute to pop music
29 July 2013
By Alison Murray
Popular music is a passion for visual artist Tiffany Collett and it is an enduring theme in her colourful neo-pop art paintings.
Tiffany, a regular artist at Sandz Studio and Gallery in Hamilton, is gearing up for her first solo exhibition. She is also a finalist in the artistic achievement category in this year's Attitude Awards.
Although Tiffany is shy about her work, her reputation has been building in the past two years with sales, commissions and participation in several national exhibitions.
Her latest offering is a pop-art portrait of Mona Lisa, which features in Creative Species 3, a national exhibition at Pablos Art Studios’ ROAR! gallery in Wellington over August and September.
Creative Species 3 features up to 100 works and it is the largest exhibition that Pablos Art Studios has organised of works by creative space artists from around New Zealand.
Tiffany, who is in her mid-20s, is now working toward her first solo exhibition at Sandz in November, and is aiming to have between 18 and 20 paintings of popular musicians from the 1960s to the 90s ready for the show.
Her works are mostly colourful portraits using bold, simple lines and vibrant block colours, reminiscent of 60s artists such as Andy Warhol. She says the artist she admires most is American pop artist Jim Dine, particularly his screenprints.
Although Tiffany had some painting lessons when she first went to Sandz about two years ago, she now works independently on her own projects, researching and painting.
A second opinion
However, if a second opinion is needed, Sandz Team Leader and practising artist Lorraine Pemberton is on hand to offer advice. Tiffany says if she is unsure about a painting she is working on, Lorraine can give her a second opinion.
Lorraine says Tiffany is very focused and committed to her art practice. “When we started talking about a solo exhibition for her, she made up a timeline and a week-by-week planner.
“Tiffany is highly motivated and self-directed and is working towards a solo exhibition at Sandz Gallery in November. She has a detailed timeline and a strict programme, including her themes and a complete range of colour charts that she selects from.”
Using the computer at Sandz, Tiffany researches the musicians who sing her favourite songs. “These are then carefully rendered in Tiffany’s style. First she selects an image, then the colour scheme styled around neo-pop art. After that, she begins painting each step,” Lorraine says.
Since attending Sandz, Tiffany has learned more about paint quality, colour mixing, experimenting with her chosen media and art history. She has also prepared a PowerPoint presentation of all her art history research, Lorraine says.
While she was doing this research, Tiffany looked at the work of Leonardo Da Vinci and produced her own version of the Mona Lisa, the bold green, black and yellow work on show at ROAR! gallery in Wellington.
Her painting of The Four Seasons featured in Original Voices, a national exhibition presented by Arts Access Aotearoa in August 2012 and curated by Stuart Shepherd.
Her painting of the Beatles in last year’s IHC Art Awards sold and Tiffany was commissioned to do two more paintings of the pop group.
“Tiffany is a little overwhelmed by how fast her success has happened. I don’t know anyone more entitled to be proud of their work. Tiffany sets her goals and works hard to make sure that they are met. She is dedicated to her theory research and her art,” Lorraine says.
Originally from Te Awamutu, Tiffany says she has been painting since she was 13 when she was at boarding school. She now lives in Hamilton.

January 26, 2021
This week we have high drama purple and yellow. It’s in some ways very like the blue orange challenge, although to my mind not as easy. Yellow and purple together always brings to mind mauve and yellow crocuses and Iris. I didn’t find quite so many references so perhaps I’m not the only one to find this challenging.
All the same principles apply as for the orange blue complementary pair, and it’s worth trying to mix a few yellows with one purple colour to find out what you can make with this limited palette. Again purple will very quickly denature any yellow much in the same way that blue does the same with orange, so always add a small amount of purple to the yellow to make your mixes, unless you just want to add a small amount of yellow to a very strong pigment like Dioxazine Purple, just to take the edge off its rather harsh colour.
A few notes on other pigments and the use of pastel are included in the Challenges for this week: section nearer the end.
Unlike red and blue and especially when working with oil or acrylic, yellow can be used to make a deep colour paler while at the same time lessening its saturation (purity). That is why a little yellow with Dioxazine will lessen its vivid colour. This does not work where reds and blues are opaque paints that already contain a lot of white; especially gouache and acrylic paints (some pink and pale bluecolours).
A useful watercolour technique is charging. Make a small square of yellow wash, about 3inches square and drop a strong purple into it while it is wet. This technique is called charging. Very often the colours mingle rather than mix, but the results can be stunning. Then try dropping yellow into a purple wash.
I repeated this with a stronger purple wash; the results are subtle but would be wonderful for a ceramic vase.
Challenges for this week:
Spend most of the time on 3. and/or 4.
1. Yellow and Purple mixes;
I suggest you stick to one purple, Dioxazine (also called Winsor Violet) would be a good choice being a strong pigment that will give you plenty of tonal contrast and see how it mixes with the yellows in your box. Just remember it is very strong, transparent and staining.
A gentler option would be any other mauve or violet.
If you have a pale opaque violet like the rather expensive Cobalt Violet your yellow mixes will be much more subtle but you will not be able to make dark tones with yellow. It is certainly worth experimenting with as it is a beautiful pigment for delicate colour washes but will not give you any strong tones.
Purple is one of the more difficult colours to mix but a magenta added to an ultramarine should give a good purple. Mix a large amount if you wish to have a consistent colour mix for a painting.
You may also wish to use either pastel or oil pastel which would be great as a wax resist with watercolour.
If you are using acrylic Dioxazine Purple is the strongest. There are other purple pigments which are often mixed with white so you would automatically reduce the transparency of your colour by mixing with transparent yellows. All are useful but please be aware that the results will be different.
If working with watercolour try the charging technique as outlined above. Note any difference in the behaviour of your pigments. Try charging purple into yellow and yellow into purple.
3. Make a composition using only yellows, one purple and white if required.
4. Make a second painting using yellows, one purple, white, black and a small amount of colour analogous to purple e.g. a purplish blue like ultramarine.
The painting should appear mainly yellow purple and mixes of these two. Use black with caution but do try using a pure black and very strong purple beside each other or for a very rich dark area try laying strokes of purple over a dry black wash. A strong transparent purple like Dioxazine is necessary for this.
If you use Payne’s Grey instead of black also be aware that this paint is a mixed pigment that contains black so will tend to desaturate/muddy colours in the same way that black does. Very often the added hues are blue and/or purple pigments. My personal choice is to use a Payne’s Grey Blue Shade as the alternatives are generally very dull.
If time is limited, choose to do either 3. or 4.
Do first look at the Matisse painting of a woman in a purple and yellow jacket and the Dufy work of a view through a window in Nice. It would also be well worth looking at the contemporary artist David Tress who works mainly with land and city scapes. If you can, choose to work from your imagination or your own reference, otherwise make your version of one of the paintings referenced.

Yellow, the sunshine colour; just what we could do with today! Opposite purple on the simple colour wheel this is the colour intrinsically pale in tone, even the yellows that are nearer to orange are pale in their most saturated form.
Yellow paints in your box may range from the very pale lemony yellows nearest to green;
Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Light
To the middle yellows;
Cadmium Yellow Medium, Chromium Yellow Light
And yellows that are almost orange;
Turner’s Yellow, Chromium Yellow Deep, Cadmium Yellow Deep, Indian Yellow
You can do any of the suggested projects below with one pale or lemony yellow and one that is nearer to orange or at least in the middle range of yellows.
Have a look at the Pinterest board to see how other artists have worked with yellow as the principal colour in a composition.
Then try any two of the following (more if it’s pouring with rain outside).
1. Try making an abstract or representational painting, using any pure yellows. If you need to because you are using an opaque medium like pastel or gouache you may use white.
Do not use earth yellows such as the ochres. These are already de-saturated colours. By mixing yellow with black, or as we shall see next week with purple, you should be able to mix your own approximations to these.
2. Find how the yellows in your box mix with black and make a hard edged composition with at least some pure black areas, some pure white/white of the paper areas, and blocks of pure yellow and yellow mixed with black or white. This may be representational or abstract.
3.Make a painting with hard and soft edges with any mixes of yellow, black and white, abstract or representational. For textures as in the Sargent portrait you may consider using pastel instead of a wet medium.
4. Make a painting using the same colours as in 3 but you may add touches of closely related colours like a reddish orange or a yellowy green.
With your paintings try to find ways of sorting out major tonal areas. The dark and unsaturated colours will be the perfect foil to pure or almost pure colours. Be very aware of when you are using pure colour and when you are using de-saturated colour. Look at how pure colours seem to stand out from duller unsaturated colours demanding attention.

Orange and Blue is a very versatile colour combination producing vivid contrasts and yet in mixes some lovely muted colours and greys can be made. In theory you should be able to mix a neutral grey if the orange and blue are mixed in the right proportions. Try this with an ultramarine and a cadmium orange. The exercise below used gouache pigments but could be done with watercolour or acrylic.
Try adding a titanium white to one of the darkest mixes. That will soon reveal whether the mix has a blue or an orange bias. See below.
Last week we saw how different hues looked when the same hue was surrounded by hues that were different in tone and saturation. This week we are throwing a much greater colour difference into the mix and the effects of pale and dark borders. The following were constructed digitally but the same principles apply when you are painting.
Outlines matter: the arrangement of colour is identical in the three illustrations below, they differ only in that the first group have no outline, the second group a black outline and the third group a white otline to the cross shapes.
References for this week can be found on the Power of Colour Pinterest board at:
The first challenge is to create two or three small studies that show how blue and orange can relate to each other, much as we did for the different blue hues. This time I would like to see both studies use similar shapes; these can be organic or more geometric. The colours should be distinct and either have no border, a black border or a white border. Use only one blue and a premixed orange e.g. cadmium orange or a similar bright orange.
Some people really enjoy making these studies/little abstract paintings. If you do, you may like to spend all your time on this. If not just spend a short time mixing colours; especially noticing any differences between mixing the complementary colours together, and mixing each complementary with white or black before spending most of your time on a painting; see notes below the study notes..
First Study; work with your chosen blue and orange as the brightest blocks of colour you can make. Include white as pure white and black as pure black and include shapes with and without outlines.
Second Study: In the second study try including some desaturated colour by mixing your blue with the orange. You may use white but not black.
(if time)Third Study: This time you may still use only one orange and one blue but do not mix them with each other, just use white or black to de-saturate the colours. You may choose whether to include any areas of pure blue and pure orange or you may choose to work with either very pale or very dark colour mixes.
Medium: You may use any medium for this; collage would work brilliantly perhaps inspired by works by Patrick Heron or Josef Albers. An opaque medium like gouache would also work well. This can also be done with watercolour, pastel or acrylic. These studies can be quite small and contain only about eight shapes, certainly not more than about twelve. If you decide to work in collage; paint some pieces of cartridge paper and cut or tare them to make your shapes. White paper can be your pure white and if you have any black paper that can be your black.
Painting; after the studies spend some time looking at the Pinterest Board again and make your own composition using any of your blue pigments, black and white but use only one premixed orange. Mix these however you like. An opaque orange like Cadmium Orange would be ideal but any bright orange will do.
Note how black lines can separate areas of colour, containing them as in a stained glass window. We often prepare to paint by drawing with lines that separate areas we may later choose to fill with colour. These lines usually represent edges of what we can see. Very often we obliterate these lines during the course of painting so that one colour lies directly against its neighbouring colour with no dividing line. See how in some works the artist uses line, sometimes to separate blocks of colour and/or to define the edges of objects within an area of colour as in the blue and gold interior painted by Matisse referenced on the Pinterest board for this week.
When looking at paintings look for works that use line and those that represent forms with no line which is much more as we see them.
Look at how Modigliani sometimes used a pale blue for eyes in a rather orange face. You might consider working from a black and white portrait photo. In landscape paintings blues tend to recede and the orange and red colours seem to advance. Whether you produce an abstract or a representational piece think about edges and enjoy the colour!
January 5, 2021
For the next few weeks we’ll be looking at primary colours used on their own and their use with each of their complementary colours. Primary colours will also be used with closely related hues to make harmonious compositions.
We’ll also explore some of the effects of colours on each other, after all colour can seriously affect your eyes or at the least deceive them a little!
Look at the appearance of the four blue squares on the right and middle columns above. Do they look different? What happens at their edges?
Then: stare at each of the squares in turn for about a minute then look at the blank space below before going on to the next one. What do you see?
For even more spectacular after images stare at the colour wheel below and then at a white space. these after images and illusions are with us all the time we are seeing.
To start with, here are a few basic definitions that are relevant to the course.: please skip if you are already up to speed with this!
Hue: a pure colour of a certain wavelength in the visible light spectrum.
Colour wheel; this should be a circle with a continuum of all the different hues in the visible spectrum. In practical terms this has been reduced to a beach ball of just six colours which represent six major groups of colour as used for painting; firstly, the three primary colours; red, yellow, and blue called primaries because they cannot be mixed from other colours; secondly, the three secondary colours orange, green and purple which can be mixed from the primary colours and which lie in between the colours they are mixed from on the colour wheel. Scientists and artists have invented a huge number of colour wheels, some of which include many more colours and also tints and shades at different levels within the circle.
Analogous colours; colours close in hue and next to each other on the colour wheel. the colour wheel. e.g. red and a reddish purple
Saturation : the purity of the colour, which is occasionally and I think confusingly, called intensity. To de-saturate a colour mix the pure hue (fully saturated colour), with its complementary colour, or black or white. The saturation of some colours is altered radically by even the smallest amounts of these; for example yellow is very rapidly changed by the addition of the smallest amounts of purple or black.
Tone: how light or dark a colour appears. Every pure hue has an intrinsic tone. A pure yellow for instance is always paler than a pure red. The additionof black, both de-saturates a hue and lowers or darkens its tone. Colours darkened in this way are usually called shades. The addition of a complementary colour also lowers its tone.
The addition of white to a hue lightens it and is said to raise its tone to make tints.
The definition of tints and shades is not always consistent as pastels are often labelled as e.g. tints 1 to 6 where usually a stick labelled tint 1 or 0 is the palest and is the pure colour plus white, and a stick labelled tint 6 is the darkest of that colour made up of the pure hue plus black.
This week’s colour is blue. Often the colour of melancholy and depression as in Picasso’s blue period portraits, I didn’t choose blue first because of Covid creating so much depression this New Year. No, I chose it first because it’s also the colour of sunny skies and Mediterranean waters, and because as you will see next week blue is great to combine with its complementary orange.
The blue pigments I have used for the exercises are
French Ultramarine (warm),
Cobalt Blue (warm)
Phthalo Blue, green shade or Prussian blue (cold)
It’s useful to have at least one warm and one cool blue to work with. If I had only two I would probably favour Ultramarine and Cerulean, but the richness of cobalt and the dark tones that can be produced with Phthalo or Prussian Blues are very useful additions.
For this week you will also need a black and white, and perhaps a couple of analogous colours a blueish purple and a blueish green or turquoise.
Used at full strength pure cobalt and pure cerulean are not as dark in tone as Ultramarine or Phthalo Blue and the darkest is Prussian blue. Phthalo Blue, Prussian blue and Ultramarine are generally more transparent than Cerulean and cobalt blue.
What does this mean in practice?
Transparency only applies to watercolour, oil and acrylic paints as if you are using gouache or pastel you are effectively working with an inherently opaque medium. Transparent colours deepen the more layers of colour that are added. Opaque colours laid down at full strength do not become darker when further layers are added. Very often it is difficult unless you know their position to identify the transparent colours of watercolour pans in a box because they all appear so dark whereas the more opaque colours give away their identity on sight; e.g, cadmium red, cadmium orange etc.
Exercises; I have chosen watercolour for this week but most could be done with pastel, acrylic or gouache. I hope to provide some pastel examples later in the week. The illustrations are only to give you ideas of ways to explore the blue pigments in your own boxes,
1. Tone and saturation
Take a blue pigment and try 1. diluting with water, 2. mixing with increasing amounts of white, 3. mixing with black and adding increasing amounts of white, and 4. compare with black to which increasing amounts of white are added.
Try this for a warm blue like Ultramarine and a cool blue like Cerulean or Phthalo Blue. Adding water or white will make tints and adding black will darken the colour and de-saturate the blue. Adding white to this mix will produce blueish greys.
2. Optical properties
Dark and light surrounds, disappearing boundaries; very closely related hues of the same tone.
Make a study where similar shapes of one hue are surrounded by white, a much darker hue or by a closely related hue of the same tone. An example is given below.
You may choose to do 3 or 4 below;
3. Make a painting/study using just blue pigments
4. Make a painting or study using blue pigments, and black. You may also use white and a couple of analogous colours like a blueish green and/or a blueish purple. The general effect should be that you are making a predominantly blue and harmonious painting.
3 and 4 may be your own composition or your version of a famous painting where the predominant colour is blue.
What conditions make a blue advance, float, or recede?
With regard to tone and hue how does a background colour affect how a blue hue appears?

A painting of Oban Lifeboat, which was completed live at the station's Open Day in August, has raised £380 for the charity that saves lives at sea.
The cash was raised when the RNLI's Oban Fundraising Group raffled the painting, which was kindly donated by Highland artist Paul Taggart.
Raffle winner Cameron McCallum, of Oban, was presented with the painting by Oban Lifeboat Coxswain John Hill and Oban Lifeboat Operations Manager, Billy Forteith.
The unique painting has been signed by some of the lifeboat crew. It shows the lifeboat and some of the stalls at the open day, as captured on canvas by Mr Taggart, from a vantage point overlooking the scene.
In an innovative marriage of skills, Mr Taggart has joined forces with the charity on a fundraising project called Awash With The RNLI.
The project will will see him produce a collection of paintings for different lifeboat stations around Scotland,
in the coming years.

Whether you are planning to renew your garden’s fence with new paint or just refreshing the weather-worn paint of the fence, having knowledge about painting your fence is a great way to give your outdoor space a new look.
Painting a fence is not just as simple as you think. Before beginning, you need to consider many things and some painting factors to make the painting process smooth, like weather, color, type of paint, surrounding, etc.
So, this article will cover in detail how you can do fence painting efficiently and effectively in this season. This article will cover the types of paint you choose, prepare your fence prior, fence painting options, and essential tips.
So, keep reading this article.
Before You Start:
Now you have decided to start your fence painting; you should consider the following things before starting.
- Plan for any help earlier to make the process faster and possible.
- Research your paint or stain prior, choose a long-lasting paint in the finish and see how the paint or stain shade will appear the way to Paint a Fence.
- Make a budget for your paint and list the tools and materials required.
- Do essential repairs to the fence and prepare the painting area beforehand.
- Check the weather forecast to calculate a suitable period to finish the project. It is good to work on your fence painting in the temperature ranges between forty and ninety degrees Fahrenheit and humidity is low to mild. The day when the precipitation rate is higher than the time essential for drying the paint, don’t paint.
- Plan to finish the job within a designated time, including the time required to dry the fence.
- In addition to keeping the seal on your wooden fence, keep moisture away from the surface, keep the wood slightly above the grass level, and have grass and plants trimmed and trees out of direct contact.
- If you are dealing with toxic compounds or sanding the fence, you must use hand gloves and a face mask.
Types of paint to use for fence painting:
Not a single consent holds true on which type of paint is best for fences. The selection for the paint depends mainly on the fence structure like wooden, metal, or plastic, its location in the garden, and the weather conditions of the area.
You can choose to select one from the following different type of paints based on the structure of your fence, which are;
Oil-based paints, also called alkyd, is the best choice out of the three types of fence paints available. It maintains going the longest, so you will no longer want to repaint frequently, and it is also the maximum dust resistant, making it less complicated to clean from the surface. It can be used on metal fences to prevent them from rusting, stains, and discoloration.
These kinds of paints can take from six hours to a day to dry, which means, wait for the right weather conditions and patience to appear before the second coat.
Oil-based paints come in different variants like satin, semi-gloss, and gloss finishes. These variants are composed to survive outdoor weather issues.
Water-based paints are also called plastic or acrylic paints. They are created with water, and people use them for a couple of reasons, ranging from outdoor fences to indoor partitions. One component humans like approximately acrylic paints is that they extend and settlement with changes in temperatures. It makes them exceptional for the wall considering they withstand breaking.
It is the foundation coat you apply to the fence before doing the paint. A couple of paints incorporate a primer in them, and in some options, there is the primer that you can buy separately.
Many paint manufacturers does not include a primer with them. If yes, you should purchase it separately and apply a primer first on the fence.
Sprayer vs. Paintbrush:
A paint sprayer is the best approach assuming that you are searching for a method for taking care of business quickly while keeping up with even inclusion. A paint sprayer is versatile and can cover walls, things being what they are, including metal and steel. Paint sprayers requires an intensive cleaning after use to guarantee that paint doesn’t dry in the lines or obstruct the shower firearm. They additionally utilize more paint, and because they make a fine fog, you’ll have to wear defensive stuff.
One benefit of the paintbrush or paint roller is their easy cleanliness. You can stop in mid-project, and either clean your brushes or store them in water/airproof packs until you can begin with them for next time. Pick a paintbrush or a restricted roller that is about similar width to the fence’s pickets. An augmentation shaft for the roller lessens the need to twist around to paint the minor segments of the fence. Assuming you’re utilizing oil-based paint, ensure you have mineral spirits or turpentine close by for cleanup.
How to get Prepare to paint your fence:
Now that you have decided about painting your lawn fence, you also choose the type of paint according to the fence’s structure. Before starting to paint, the following steps are essential to get yourself prepared for the fence painting process so that things get done right.
- First, ensure that no vegetation or plants can hinder the fence. Otherwise, it may stick if the wind blows it around the garden. You should mow your lawn to clear the fence surroundings.
- Suppose you found trees or large plants around your fences. You might struggle to get around them. So, properly trim all the tree branches and shrubs around the fence.
- Cutting down the plants around the fence seems not a good idea, so try protecting any plants next to your fence by covering them with protective sheets of plywood in between plants and the fence. Be sure not to crush plants in the protection process.
- You can also protect the area under the fence by layering the protective plastic sheet underneath it. The sheet will collect any material that falls from the fence.
- It is always advisable to remove cracks and damages in the fence, fix old nuts, bolts, and screws, and get the fence in good shape before painting.
- In repairing, it is suggested to pressure wash it to remove any dirt of old paint. Wash it with high pressure and give it a blast. Please don’t leave it too long, though. Otherwise, the fence will soak and get moldy.
- You can add a Primer the moment once you have your fence prepared to paint. Primer will assist with preventing the fence from creating mold on it.
- Get the right paint and color for your fence. You can use dark or light colors depending upon the fence’s surroundings.
Important Tips to consider during fence painting process:
On a good note, make a routine to paint your fencing every two years at least to prevent it from structural repair or replacement. You can consider the following tips in the fence painting process to make this activity less costly and more beneficial.
Paint your fence in warmer months:
It is suggested that you check the weather forecast 24 hours before starting the task of painting the fence of your lawn. Check if the weather’s warm, it will allow the paint to dry more quickly and set better on the fence. In cold weather, the paint won’t dry quickly, and all your efforts get wasted in case of rain. So, dry conditions above 5C are feasible for painting.
Brush or sprayer:
It is advisable to choose the right tool for the paint. So, selecting the brush or the sprayer depends on the type of fence and its surface area.
A paintbrush is a fundamental tool more often used to paint when you desire to paint the fence on your own. A brush size of at least 100mm/4″ will cover surfaces quickly, while a smaller brush size of25-50mm/1-2″ helps easily fill gaps or awkward corners or shapes with paint. Doing paint with a paintbrush is a time-taking activity, and one should need to keep other factors in mind to complete it well.
If someone needs quicker results, using a power sprayer tool is better. Using pump sprayer in fence paints is a great way to paint large areas of fence in a fraction of the time. So, the selection of the paint type needs to be appropriately considered.
It is suggested not to use sprayers on windy days to avoid painful carnage.
About protecting your plants:
It is equally important to protect all the plants and vegetation prior to the fence painting. It can be done by covering them using plastic sheets.
Trim back any vegetation to give yourself ample space to work, and put resources into some plant ties and sticks on the off chance that any plants are as yet laying and can’t be covered or scaled back.
Clean your fence before painting:
Old nails or screws and hanging bins or designs will impede you while painting your fence, so you’ll need to clean them up before you begin.
Whenever that is done, sand down any harsh regions or splinters standing out on the boards; smoother boards make for better completion.
Apply primer layer:
Applying a primer won’t be a one-coat work.
Apply a primer layer to each of the panels and let it dry totally. Not in the least does this give a better completion. It will expand the time of protection managed by your paint.
Applying your chosen color:
You can start to paint the fence panels with your chosen variety of color shades by utilizing the device of your decision.
To get better results, use flat strokes for even sheets of wood and vertical strokes for vertical sheets. Also, heed the wood’s grain for a fine finish.
Apply paint well:
Don’t be vile about the quantity of paint you practice on your fence.
Apply an ample quantity of paint to make sure that it completely penetrates the wood for first-rate protection, so don’t be scared to slap it on.
Stay safe in the painting process:
Painting a fence could be quite an enjoyable task (even a piece dreary), yet it is full of risk.
So, consider the following to keep you safe while painting your fence.
- Keep away from eye sprinkles by wearing goggles.
- Wear proper or appropriate gloves for sanding or water-based paints or dissolvable-based items.
- While setting up the fence, wearing a residue veil is preferred to stay away from the inward breath of undesirable particles.
- Be careful; wear shoes if utilizing a stepping stool.
- If you get paint on your skin, wash it with warm water.
- If you get paint in your eyewash, quickly wash it with hot water.
This detailed article covers all the necessary information that a homeowner should know before he starts the task of painting his garden fences. By getting sound knowledge about the type of paint and do’s and don’ts of fence painting, they can cost-effectively do it themselves.
If you feel the need that it is an appropriate time to paint your fence, by adhering to the following steps and guidelines, you can enjoy the entire painting process and the results. Also, you will avoid causing any unnecessary damage.

|I sure have been on a roll lately. I did this "quick" watercolour painting because another painting I was working on got screwed up. What ended up happening was this piece was anything but quick and I ended up spending almost 2hrs on it (mostly monkeying around with his face). This is large sheet of fairly expensive paper, so I had to reuse it. What I got was this painting of Cecil. I usually work on a much smaller scale when doing fanarts, but this thing measures in at 11"x15". I tried to get Cecil to look 'alien' as opposed to just another guy in armour. I was originally going to do Edgar, then went to Kain, and finally settled on Cecil.

“As a small boy, I hiked alone, along Kansas creeks, taking pictures with my Brownie camera. I always wanted to see what was over the next rise. I haven’t stopped exploring and recording the mountains and waterways or nature’s secrets, discovered in the stillness of a forest dawn or desert sunset. There is always one more painting to do, one more place to explore.”

3 Questions for Edward
What was your process for creating the artwork?
They initially began as sketches, oil pastel on paper, before I painted them digitally using Procrete.
What is the significance of the medium you chose for the pieces?
I usually work with oil paint on canvas, but of late I’ve been painting digitally, using the aforementioned Procrete, and also Corel Painter and Photoshop. You would imagine it would be a quicker process, and it is, to some degree, but also, because it is so easy to remove a mistake, it means that I take longer to finish the piece.
What is the significance of this work to you?
These works are concerned with the capturing of emotions and other aspects of a life lived. In capturing these moments, I hope that the viewer can see something of themselves in the work, in a sense completing the painting.
