A lot of people asked me how can you paint your own house with a paint sprayer? This is a really hard task and if you decide to do this you have to be careful and not lazy. Because if you are not careful you will make a big mess, and that big mess will be your own house and everyone will see it, and that will make you feel very bad.
Usually, this job is done by professionals, but if you don’t have the money to pay them, or if you have a lot of free time and just want to get busy doing something, then you can totally do this by your own if you have a guide to follow.
If you want to know what rules and what guide I follow when I’m painting my or my client’s houses then make sure to read the tips down below that I provided for you.
How to paint spray your house?
Choosing the best paint sprayer
Before starting to paint spray your house you need to have the best tools to complete the job and get the best results. Clearly, if you decide to do this task then you need to be prepared to paint a really big space.
If you want to paint a big area then I totally recommend you to go with a paint sprayer and not a paint roller.
Paint rollers are slow and the finish quality won’t be as good as if you used a paint sprayer. In the other hand, if you use paint sprayers you will complete the job 3x or 4x faster, and you won’t make a big mess. But choosing a paint sprayer is not an easy task.
There are a lot of different paint sprayers. The airless paint sprayers, LVLP paint sprayers, HVLP paint sprayers, tank sprayers, and each of them has a lot of different models which makes the choosing part really hard.
But luckily for you, I have been using paint sprayers for a long time and I know which one is good and which one is bad.
Usually, when I want to paint spray houses I use HVLP paint sprayers, you can use other paint sprayers as well but I prefer HVLP. If you want to see which HVLP paint sprayers I recommend then you should my review section.
You can also use different paint sprayers for different tasks. For example, I use HVLP Spray guns for woodworking if I have to spray an object that is made from wood.
Or, if you are a beginner that never used a paint sprayer before then make sure to read our post about the best spray guns for beginners.
Also, I have a lot of posts that show you how to use an HVLP paint sprayer and different tips and trick that will help you get better results.
Find the best paint sprayer for you
As I said, I use HVLP paint sprayers but that doesn’t mean that you should use them too. There are a lot of different paint sprayers that you can use.
I use HVLP’s because they don’t atomize the paint, and it provides high volume while using less pressure. Which means that the chances for you to over-spray an object are really low.
In the other hand the airless paint sprayers are really noisy, so if you decide to paint something you have to be prepared to get a headache when you are done, but they are good for amateurs who never used a paint sprayer before.
And if you go for more high priced airless paint sprayer you will get more features and more power. So this is all up to you.
Prepare the surface
Before starting to paint spray your house you need to prepare the surface you are going to work on. If there’s any broken part on your walls then you have to repair it first or replace it. You need to make the surface smooth.
Paint sprayers have done a good job on controlling where the paint goes, but still, you can’t totally control the paint. While spraying you can accidentally spray other objects that you don’t want to spray, that will make a huge mess and it will take you a long time to fix it.
In order to prevent this from happening it’s recommended to cover all the objects near the space, you are spraying. If the space that you don’t want to accidentally spray is small then you can use tape to cover it.
Before starting to spray you need to cover the windows and doors of your house with plastic and tape as well.
This may take you a long time to do, but once you are done covering all the things and setting up the paint sprayer then you are ready to go. Clearly, it will consume you a lot of time to fully spray paint your house, but once you are done your house will look totally different and you will be glad that you have done it.
Start the painting process
Try to be relaxed while you are doing this. You have done the hardest task that is covering the space you don’t want to spray, covering windows frames and doors, scraping, repairing the broken parts.
Now you only have to spray your house. But, try not to think that you are spraying your house, think it more as you are just spraying a small part of an object or that you are just doing a few tests, that will help you be more relaxed and using the paint sprayer better.
Don’t worry that you are not a professional, every professional was once a beginner too! So stay calm while spraying and try to follow the tips you have read here and on my other posts.
While you are spraying make sure to move your hand, don’t just keep the hand on the same position for a long time, try to move it every 2 or three seconds, that will prevent you from over-spraying the object.
Try reading the manual to see how far you should stay from the object. I usually stay two or three feet away from the object.

Opening Reception: CNY Watercolor Society Annual Juried Exhibition
Join us for the opening reception of CNY Watercolor. Immerse yourself in work by members of the Central New York Watercolor Society whose art offers a unique insight into the world around us.
The exhibit will run from June 2- Aug. 30. It is free and open to the public during regular library hours. For more information, call (315) 445-4333.


Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Selects from the V–A–C collection
Rarely seen artworks inspired by nature have been selected by the Turner Prize nominated painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye for an exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery.
Drawn from the
The artist has chosen still life paintings, photographs and a film depicting flora, fauna and people interacting with the natural world. Highlights include David Hockney’s 30 Sunflowers (1996), a vibrant, richly coloured still life painting of sunflowers standing in vases on a red table. Part of a series, Hockney depicts flowers at various stages of life, drawing parallels with the human life cycle. Peter Doig’s atmospheric, large-scale painting Green Trees (1998) depicts an imagined lush woodland area, while Gary Hume’s enamel paint on aluminium Garden Painting #2 (1996) portrays a hand reaching for a small leaf in muted greens and blues.
The presentation, titled Natures, Natural and Unnatural, also includes a video Dancing with Dad (2003) by the Estonian artist Jan Toomik, which shows the artist dancing in sunlit woodlands where his father was buried, as the artist never had the opportunity to dance with his father when he was alive. Black and white photographs by Russian photographer Nikolay Bakharev capturing men, women and children posing in natural environments such as dense forests, and Andy Warhol’s brightly coloured screen-print of a cow are also on display.
The works that I was drawn to in the
V–A–CCollection, or that really caught my eye, all had a link to nature, or still life, or a combination of the two. The title of the display refers to the idea of nature and the different types of nature: nature you walk out into in the wilderness, nature that you bring into the house, human nature, people interacting with nature, and also the nature within a person. I wanted to think about all of those things in the selection.
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye (b.1977) is a contemporary artist renowned for her oil paintings of people conjured from her imagination and her drawings and scrapbooks of found images. She alludes to traditions of historical figurative paintings through her canvases, each of which was completed in a single day. The stories behind her subjects are often hard to decipher: the clothing is not specific to a time, the setting is ambiguous, and sometimes even the gender of the individual is uncertain. Yiadom-Boakye was short-listed for the 2013 Turner Prize, and Prestel has published a monograph on her work.

In April 1937, at the height of the Spanish Civil war, a terrible disaster befell the ancient city of Guernica. As reported by George Steer, the London Times journalist, three quarters of the city was razed to the ground as a result of the bombing by allied German Luftwaffe "Condor Legion" and the Italian Fascist “Aviazione Legionaria”.
At that moment Picasso was working on a mural for the Paris International Exhibition to be held in the summer of 1937, commissioned by the Spanish Republican government. Or rather not working, since he could not find his creative inspiration, hardly overwhelmed by any patriotic feeling; however learning of Guernica massacre, on 1 May 1937 the artist set off working fiercely. In 3 months he presented his Guernica to the world, a painting that would become iconic symbol of the war and its destructive power on innocent lives, as well as one of Picasso's most prominent works.

It's been a while since my last blog and I started thinking I should just update weekly on what I've been working on and what I will be doing in the coming week. It has been a whirlwind of a summer and now we are full on Fall here in Kansas.
Last week I finished up a few commission pieces for some customers. A few pinned hearts and a watercolor sketch of my friend's childhood home. I also painted some abstract flowers on Thursday. That was a lot of fun! I called the painting Flower Power and I just loaded it onto my website under "Paintings" I think I'll be painting more flowers in the weeks to come.
The month of October I am going to be putting a daily challenge ink piece in my Instagram and Facebook stories. There are Instagrammers who like to encourage other artists to create every day and I love that! So I'm going to participate this month practicing using my new pen markers and creating the challenge word in chinese characters. My trip to China in May this year really intrigued me to learn to write some of the characters. If you want to follow along you can find me on both Instagram and Facebook @pollygentrystudio.
I am also going to be stretching raw canvas for the first time ever this week. I have 2 commissioned flags to get started on and they wanted a unique size canvas rather than the standard sizes I always paint. They also like heavy paint with rich deep strokes so that was what lead me to the palette knife floral this week to get back into the groove with thick paints. I can't wait to show you these flags when I am done.
I love hearing from you all so don't hesitate to leave me a message!


Born in Poland, Margaret graduated with a Master's degree from the Faculty of Interior Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. Additionally, she completed the internationally acclaimed Paris College of Art summer program (PCA) in France. During her studies, Margaret was consistently recognized for her work in the discipline that she was most enamoured with: painting. She was awarded with many prestigious distinctions over the course of her training.
Following her move to Canada, Margaret made a career out of designing and creating displays and exhibit materials for various architectural and retail applications. She later branched out into fashion styling, interior design, special events staging and commissioned painting. During this period of time, her paintings found homes in private collections in Canada, the United States, Poland, and France. In her spare time, Margaret facilitated several children's programs as a volunteer at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Runnymede Public School.
In the past 10 years, Margaret has focused on exploring and bringing her inner experience to the canvas by creating personally meaningful artwork. She exhibits regularly each year, with several of her recent pieces having been added to private collections throughout Canada, Europe, and the USA. She has participated in international and national competitions, with her work being selected for juried exhibitions and winning several awards. Experience related to the exhibitions, awards, press coverage, publications and interviews can be viewed on the Exhibitions page.
Margaret is a Member of:
Colour and Form Society (CFS) - Canada,
Art Resilience Movement - France,
and an Associate of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA).
Inspired by life and people, my painting is a way of story-telling. Using the language of colour and lines, I attempt to translate my feelings onto the canvas. To accomplish my goals of expression, I make use of acrylic, oil, pastel, charcoal, pencil, glaze, and varnish in various combinations. Layer after layer, I want to expose what is underneath. My recent artwork tends to focus on the creation of a structural space - one which represents both an atmosphere of personal experience, as well as an active state of mind. The creation of this image often becomes a living process, blending the boundary between abstraction and representation. My paintings are meant to be an open invitation to the viewer, providing the space from which individual meaning and significance emerge.

About this picture
The Blenheim at North Shields
Alan R. Cook
This fine oil painting by Alan Reid Cook depicts the Fred Olsen Cruise Line ferry, The Blenheim, passing North Shields.
The Blenheim was the first of a fleet of new ships brought into service by the Fred Olsen Cruise Lines in 1951. The ship was named the Blenheim, in honour of Sir Winston Churchill, who had been born at Blenheim Palace, the Churchill family seat.
She was built by Thornycroft & Co Ltd and The Blenheim sailed the route between Oslo and Newcastle from 1951 until 1968.
From the 1930s, the funnels on Olsen ships – which had been painted black with a red band bearing the family’s flag on either side – became buff yellow. The flag, white with its swallow tail and with a blue dot and a diagonal blue bar, had first been flown by the second Fred Olsen on his racing yacht in the 1890’s.

About Brenda Hurley
Brenda trained as a dress designer before venturing into painting. She regards herself as a colourist and uses acrylic paint for its’ quick drying qualities and for the pureness of colour. Brenda sees pattern and shape in everything around her, in landscape and still life, she will look for lost edges and the use of high horizon lines. Her work (which includes still life, landscape and the figure) is simplified and abstracted without losing the form.
She teaches drawing and painting at workshops, she demonstrates for art groups and she also works with small groups in her studio. She has worked at the Queen’s Park Centre in Aylesbury once a week for many years, helping students to develop their own style.
Brenda is a member of the National Acrylics Painters Association, and Bucks Art Society. She has NDD in Dress Design, a BHDAD in Art and Design and a HD in Fine Art from Hatfield University. Her recent work has been part of the Society of Women Artists exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London.


Stewart’s work is inspired by the skills and knowledge of the old masters. He strives to combine his fascination with the human form, the world around us, movement and colour to create atmospheric images.
He has featured on both Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the year and Landscape Artist of the Year and was the winner of the Stride Open (2017). He now works out of the Arches Studios in Southampton and teaches classes in the Fareham and Whiteley area, along with workshops and demonstrations throughout Hampshire.

Tools and Tips
The thought of painting a room might be fun, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, FOMU can rear its head. We’ll let you in to a secret; it’s all about the prep. Choose your paints properly, prep the room, and get your tools in order and you’ll have a perfectly painted room in no time.
Choose your paints
First things first, consider the surface you’re painting. Is it inside or outside? New or old? This will have an effect on the paint you choose. In most cases a primer is an important part of your paint journey. They provide a protective barrier to help paint glide on easily, and with fewer coats. A primer and paint combo, such as British Paints Paint & Prime, will save you time and money and is suitable on most interior surfaces. It’s a good idea to use a specially formulated paint that protects against mould for wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms or laundries. Choose a special ceiling paint to give a flat finish and to cover any imperfections. Lastly, choose a hard-wearing gloss paint for woodwork such as doors and window frames, to protect them and leave them looking smooth and polished.
Water or enamel based?
It depends what you’re using it for. Water-based enamel paints are low-odour, have short re-coat times and resist yellowing. Oil-based enamel paints are harder wearing and keep a higher level of gloss, giving you more time to work the paint on the wood or the wall. You can apply a water-based enamel paint over an old oil-based enamel – just make sure you sand the walls back properly first, then give it a prep coat of British Paints PREP 4 in 1 Oil Based.
Amount of paint
Get the amount of paint you need wrong and it can either be seriously expensive, or seriously annoying if you run out half-way through the job. The key? Measuring your room, and taking into account doors, windows, ceilings, and trims. British Paint’s Paint Calculator can help you work out exactly what paint you’ll need to finish your space properly.
Prep the room
Prepping properly might feel laborious, but it’s a serious time-saver. When walls are smooth and clean, you’ll need less paint, and it will look better when it’s dry. First things first, clear the room, or at least move everything away from the walls and cover them. Make sure the floor is fully covered, and put masking tape around switches, trims, windows, and anything else that you don’t want to paint over. Remove any old flaking paint with a scraper, wash the walls with sugar soap, and fill any gaps or uneven surfaces with filler. Once the walls are clean and dry, you’re ready to go!
Prep the roller
The right tools will make a big difference to the finish of the paint. A roller, paint tray, and tin foil to cover your paint when you’re taking a break, are all essential tools to start with. Don’t move too fast though; before you start, wash your roller in warm water to remove dirt or fluff giving you a super smooth paint finish. Then, pour the paint in to the deepest part of the paint tray. Dip your roller in to the tray, and give it a few rolls until it’s properly soaked with paint. Then lightly roll it over the ribbed part of the tray to get rid of excess paint before you start painting.
Perfectly prepped, and ready to paint.


I paint people because I find them challenging, interesting, and overflowing with narrative. I am documenting time, place, society, and how these people fit into it – or at least my interpretation of that. We can all relate to life’s struggles, simple pleasures, emotions, and the aches and pains of aging. My paintings are a way for me to share my perspective of these facets of life. I paint people as I see them, flaws and all. My paintings are not meant to be flattering; my intention is not to please the subject and make a commission, but to create a piece of art.
On a strictly visual level, I see my paintings as relating fields of color that toy with balance and the eye’s path. These compositions are decorated with detail and texture, but the interplay among colors, the harmony and discord, is what excites me as a painter. I love a rudimentary, centralized composition, perfectly balanced, like a circle within a square. This simplistic solution to balance is why I like a single, frontal-facing figure. There may be elements of asymmetry to break up the piece, but the main structure is as straightforward as a Rothko or a Giacometti painting. I see the figure as subordinate to the painterly qualities – the marks, the drips, the colors, the textures – that I create.
I'm focusing on the details, attempting to capture the textures, the subtleties of reflecting light, and many of the things that we as people can relate to. I want the audience to form a relationship with my paintings through recollection of personal experiences — whether it is triggered by these details of the physical world, specific objects, or the people and their emotions. The viewer is meant to insert their own narrative. I like to think of the paintings as thread within the fabric that is our human coexistence. The more I can weave together, the more the audience can relate to my paintings.
I paint locals, friends, and heroes because they are a part of my own story. Sometimes, I use my artistic license to embellish the narrative and make the painting more exciting.
Reed White studied fine art at the U of M before receiving his BFA in illustration from College of Visual Arts in St Paul. Reed also received a Master of Arts degree in painting from MSU in Mankato, where he served as an adjunct faculty for the art department. Reed is the recipient of a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant in 2018 and 2020.


Are you ever drawn to abstract art but wonder if it actually has a meaning?
Well, the answer is, it depends.
Some argue that abstract art should be free from any concrete meaning, allowing the viewer to interpret the work based on their own subjective experience and emotions. However, for many artists, their abstract creations are deeply personal and meaningful. They use their intuition and emotions to create pieces that are almost like a diary of their thoughts and feelings. For them, abstract art is a language that speaks volumes about their inner selves. So, the next time you gaze upon an abstract masterpiece, remember that it may hold a profound and intimate meaning for the artist who created it.
Do abstract art has to have a meaning?
I create art intuitively. The moment I start to paint feels like I’m in a zone, it is sort of my own way of meditation. I am in my studio every day BUT I cannot push myself daily to paint. I need to feel it. When taht moment comes I act almost like an animal, going crazy with paint, working on several paintings at the time, I’m using so much energy that after couple of hours I feel draint, almost empty. That is the moment when I know I need to stop, fill back up my creativity with new emotions and express it the next moment I’ll feel the calling. Does my art has a meaning? It is filled with tones of feelings, it is my own diary, it my own language. So for me YES IT HAS A MEANING.
Abstract art is a special kind of art where the artist doesn't try to paint or draw things that look like the real world. Instead, they use colors, shapes, lines, and textures to create something that is unique and creative. Some abstract art can look like a bunch of shapes and colors all mixed together, while others might look like a bunch of lines or patterns.
Now, you might be wondering, does abstract art have to have a meaning? Well, that's a great question! Sometimes, abstract art is like a secret message from the artist. They might use certain colors or shapes to tell a story or to express a feeling. It's kind of like a puzzle that we have to figure out by looking at the art and trying to understand what the artist is trying to say. Other times, abstract art is just meant to be enjoyed for how it looks. The artist might have created it just because they thought it would be pretty or interesting to look at.
What's really cool about abstract art is that it can mean different things to different people. One person might look at an abstract painting and feel happy or excited, while someone else might feel sad or confused. It's all about how the art makes you feel, and what you see when you look at it.
So, whether abstract art has a meaning or not, it's still a really cool and creative way for artists to express themselves. And it's also a great way for us to use our imaginations and come up with our own ideas about what the art means.

Pastels are one of the easiest mediums to work with and therefore are a very popular choice amongst artists. Pastels combine the immediacy of a drawing medium while at the same time provide the artist with a color-rich, paint-like environment. With Pastel drawing, there is no need to prepare your drawing surface, as pastels can be applied directly to your support. There are no harsh chemicals or mediums to be concerned about and cleanup is a snap! It is no wonder why artists adore this medium so much.
Pastels are available in a wide range of exciting colors and materials from soft pastels and oil pastels, to pastel pencils and crayons. You could literally spend a lifetime exploring this versatile and exciting medium.
TYPE OF PASTELS
Pastels are available in a wide range of types and this is to accommodate the different tastes artists have. These various types of pastels are all created using similar pigments, only they are composed of different quantities or kinds of binding materials.
Soft pastels are the original form of this medium and probably the most popular. Soft pastels are composted of pure pigment, chalk, and a gum solution. They produce rich colorful lines and are more often than not, looked upon as painting mediums more than drawing mediums. Soft pastels can produce subtle lines or can be built up into rich impastos. It provides the artist with the best of both worlds essentially. Of all the various types of pastels, soft pastels are available in the widest range of colors. They can be purchased individually or in sets.
Hard pastels, as the name implies, are hard and more suited for drawing and producing lines. Artists often use hard pastels and soft pastels together in the same drawing. The hard pastels are used to layout the drawing and the soft pastels are worked in over the hard. The hard pastels are then used again to finalize the drawing by adding in details. Hard pastels do not have the extensive range of color that soft pastels have. It is for this reason that you must utilize various optical color mixing techniques on your paper if you want to produce different colors.
Pastel crayons are a hybrid medium of medium hardness that combines the characteristics of hard and soft pastels. They are available in a limited range of colors when compared to soft pastels. Crayons are quite popular for artists that enjoy outdoor drawing as their convenient size makes them suitable for transport and their composition makes them less prone to breakage.
Pastel pencils are very similar in composition to crayons only they are encased in wood in the form of a pencil and tend to be a bit softer than crayons. Pastel pencils are perfect for detailed work and also have the ability to be blended somewhat. They are available in roughly the same range of colors as crayons and are available as individual items or in sets.
These pastels are an ingenious invention because of their ability to be used both dry and wet. Obviously, you can see the amazing possibilities with this kind of medium. You can lay down lines as you would any traditional drawing medium and then brush over these lines with water to create colorful watercolor-like washes. These pastels are available individually or in sets and are available in a limited range of colors.
Oil pastels are quite different than other types of pastels in that they use oil as a binder rather than gum. Oil pastels are very sensitive to temperature and they will soften as you use them. They are versatile medium and can be used on a number of different supports including canvas, paper, and board. Just like oil paints, oil pastels can also be used with turpentine opening up a whole new world of exciting techniques.


I’m still working on the right “recipe” for vivid colours and cool effects in this fluid painting series. The method is quite hard to replicate and you just never know what the final results will be, because the paints continue to move about the canvas until dry. I’m not 100 percent happy with the results of this one. Some of the paints cracked so I won’t be using those brands again. But I do loooove the way the tree came to life! (I used tissue paper to create texture.)
The background trees dried a bit darker than I’d intended (they looked exquisite when wet).
UPDATE: See the updated version here. Someone saw this piece in my studio and loved it, cracks and all! He purchased it on the spot!

Things can get a bit messy when children’s paint sets are involved, so make sure you’re prepared. You can cover tables with old newspapers and floors with messy mats.

Karan Hayman’s art practice focuses mainly on drawing, painting and printmaking.
Hayman lives and works on a small farm near Kyneton in Central Victoria. The surrounding landscape and what Hayman describes as “endless sky’s” have dominated and inspired her recent works. Hayman’s Paintings are an exploration of both her personal environment and the emotional states they inspire. Her carefully structured canvases are distinguished by their highly personalized and often surreal and whimsical approach. The works are palpably sensual. Flowing seascapes and landscapes ambiguous in an arresting and mysterious yet always warmly lyrical way.
“Hayman’s response to the landscape is an aesthetic one imbued with the sensitivity of an artist who feels the landscape as much as sees it”
-Dr Ashley Crawford Arts writer and author of a number of books on Australian artists including Directory of Australian Art Craftsman House 2006.
Hayman Studied Fine Art at RMIT and went on to found and establish Roar Studios one of Melbourne’s first artist –run gallery and studio spaces, which opened in 1982 while Hayman was still at Art School. She went on to complete her Post Graduate studies at RMIT in 1992.
Karan has held several solo exhibitions in Australia including Tokyo and has been represented in numerous group exhibitions in cities around Australia and Tokyo.
Hayman’s work is held in the collections of the Australian National Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Bank, New Parliament House, Myer Collection, Gaden’s, Sangi Collection Tokyo and numerous private collections in Australia, Europe, Japan and USA.


Painting this morning…
© September 5, 2013
I have had an artistic burst lately. Bought myself some paints and brushes. I confess I’ve been reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron — a GREAT book, but I didn’t foresee this little adventure. I haven’t painted in forever, and even then, it would have been when the kids were young. Art has never really been my thing. Maybe I have a small crafty bent; I did needlepoint growing up and I used to make fabric-covered photo albums, but I rarely indulge it and my artwork is so amateurish. I don’t think I have a natural talent for it, but I’m pleased with how this painting turned out. I always wanted to take art in high school, but I was too busy singing in chorus and I wasn’t willing to give that up.
I was inspired to do this painting as I had actually seen a few hummingbirds the night before at my friend Sarah’s home. I used to have a special feeder up at my old house, and I have missed seeing these tiny birds up close, so this was a treat for me. A few years ago, I remember taking the kids to see a professional catch, take measurements, band, and then release hummingbirds at The Bird Watcher by the Mall of Georgia.
This painting was done with acrylics on drawing paper. A lot of it was an experiment and there are things I would do differently, but overall, I hope it’s a glimpse of good things to come. I hope to do more. In fact, I have signed up for a pastel class this Saturday. This was before I painted this picture. It would be cool to be able to illustrate my own poems. Right now, that seems impossible, but who knows? I’m open to it.
When I finished, I sent a pic of it to my mom, who is a very talented artist, but she hasn’t painted in a very long time. She was surprised and loved it and then said I should frame it and send it to her. SHE should be painting and then sending them to me. She has true talent, and I hope I have inspired her. She could easily be doing things like this and so much more. One time, her own mother painted a whole set of fine china that is very lovely.
My youngest daughter Elizabeth has a natural gift for art. I hope she will keep drawing and painting and pursuing her talent. I think it’s important to have a creative outlet and to develop your skills to be really excellent at something. She could be great. I’m not seeking to be a great painter necessarily, but it’s another fun, creative expression to have in addition to writing and music. Who knows — maybe I will write a poem to accompany this one someday.


Céline Calla is a self-taught contemporary painter.
Very early on, she was attracted to manual activities of all kinds, much more than to dolls. His father, an ingenious handyman, was then a resource to sharpen his curiosity and creativity. She accumulates objects and materials like treasures to bring them back to life and usefulness.
Then choosing the plastic arts course in high school, she met Claude Duport, painter and teacher. She develops her techniques in drawing and sketching, and discovers dry pastel, engraving? and especially acrylic paint. This material, conducive to spontaneity, has been its outlet for more than 20 years.
A graphic designer by training, she gradually turned to the human being and became a nursing assistant. The complexity of souls and the setbacks of life inspire her, her sensitivity guides her.
This intimate passion, she decides at the end of 2019 to share it publicly.
Acrylic allows him to follow the tree structure of his thoughts and emotions, their contradictions and their complementarities. The abstract does not impose a subject, the eye wanders without reference, the imagination takes over to personalize its reading.
“My painting is my language, which everyone can translate into.
The canvas frames are of high quality, the edges are painted black and the whole is varnished in several layers to provide protection and shine.
Each canvas is signed and countersigned accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
While waiting for the online sale, you can find my paintings on the places of planned exhibitions or on the repertoire of contemporary artists of the house of artists.
Delivery is possible, plus postage.
Feel free to contact me for any further information.

Found this company at the Larimer County Home show and checked out their work. We contracted with them to paint selective areas in our home and sanding/re-finishing wood mantles. Their crew was very careful to contain the areas of work and took good care of protecting the areas they were working in.

The national average cost to paint standard kitchen cabinets ranges from $1,200 to $7,000, with additional costs for better paint quality, cabinet design and size, and painting method all affecting the total cost of the project.
Looking to update your old kitchen cabinets? Rather than replacing them, an easier and more budget-friendly solution is to paint them. The following instructions are for painting wood or laminate cabinets.
Giving a a fresh touch up to your kitchen cabinets may seem like a fit-for-DIY job, but it’s a time consuming and sometimes tricky project. Cabinets in rough shape usually require a primer and a few coats of paint, and hours (and material costs) can quickly add up. We’ll breakdown what affects the cost of painting kitchen cabinets so you can weigh your options when it comes to doing a quick touch up yourself, or hiring a professional to overhaul the appearance of your kitchen cabinets.
What’s in this cost guide?
- How Kitchen Size Affects Cost to Paint Kitchen Cabinets
- How Cabinet Layout Affects Cost to Paint Kitchen Cabinets
- Cabinet Repainting
- Cost to Spray Paint Kitchen Cabinets
- Cost to Paint Kitchen Cabinet Doors
- Paint Costs
- How to Hire a Painter
How Size of your Kitchen Can Affects Cost to Paint Kitchen Cabinets
The square footage of the kitchen generally dictates the number of linear feet of cabinets that need to be painted. Some professional painters charge by the linear foot—anywhere from $30–$60—while others charge per cabinet box, door, drawer face, etc.
The size of your kitchen also affects material costs. The bigger the kitchen, the more paint you’ll have to purchase, along with any additional drop cloths needed to cover the space.
How Cabinet Layout Affects Cost to Paint Kitchen Cabinets
The existing layout of a kitchen or other cabinetry can add complexity to a paint job. Tight angles, or cabinets installed in corners that have double-hinged doors and other constricted spaces can make it difficult for painters to get to cabinet doors or drawer faces to paint them without knocking against other surfaces. Some professional painters will charge extra in labor costs for tricky or tight layouts if they have to remove doors to paint them outside or in another location and reattach them later.
If you are looking to repaint a small to medium-size kitchen cabinet put in mind it can costs about $900. In some cases, it takes more time to prepare a client’s existing kitchen cabinets to be painted than to actually do the cabinet painting. Preparation may include cleaning, sanding, patching and minor repairs—all of which adds to the overall cost. The cabinet painter also applies a primer coat to all surfaces to be painted. It’s also recommends that cabinets get at least two coats of paint after the primer, especially when using water-based (acrylic or latex) paint.
Cost to Spray Paint Kitchen Cabinets
Every states every cities differently for example some cabinet painters charges $38 per linear foot of cabinetry for spray painting cabinets. Spray painting method involves painting a client’s cabinets in place rather than removing all hardware, cabinet doors and drawer faces. He also offers different refinishing options. owner Gardner sprays in place, too, when he can, though it is sometimes necessary to remove some doors and drawer faces to apply primer and paint, especially in smaller kitchens with less room to maneuver.
Cost to Paint Kitchen Cabinet Doors
Removing and painting cabinet doors costs on average $2,000–$8,000 nationwide, depending on the size of the kitchen, the amount of detail work and the paint quality. If spraying in place is not an option, the professional painter will likely use a combination of a paint sprayer and a roller and will brush the cabinet boxes, removing doors and drawer faces and spraying them outdoors or in other space, such as a garage.
Using higher-quality paint (or just a more expensive brand) for your painting project can add a few hundred dollars to the total cost. It’s a good idea to consult with a professional painter about the wear and tear the kitchen cabinets will need to withstand before deciding on a higher-end paint. Most pros can then advise accordingly on the best finish and quality of paint.
How to Hire a Painter
- Check the painter’s experience: Painting cabinets requires a keen attention to detail, as well as experience removing cabinet doors or drawers without damaging the cabinet itself. For more tips on smart hiring, check out our safety page.
- Ask about time: Ask potential painters to estimate how long the project will take so you have a good idea of what you’re up for before you dive into the project. You may have to relocate furniture and other items ahead of time.
- Ask about equipment: Ask if the pro is comfortable purchasing paint and other materials on their own, or if you’re required to pick up some of those tasks.

I’m Shevaun Doherty. I am a botanical artist, natural history illustrator and art tutor living in Dublin. I’m very inspired by the natural world and enjoy the quiet meditation that painting from nature brings. I paint from life, usually plants and seeds that I have collected on my travels, but the occasional bug or feather gets painted too. I love the challenge of trying to capture all the tiny details and colours.
I paint the things that capture my interest. Sometimes it’s the beauty of an object that draws me, but often my art begins with an interesting story. The challenge then is how to reveal the hidden beauty. Teaching helps me share my passion.
If you are interested in knowing more about my classes, please message me.
It’s official! On July 12th 2018, An Post will be issuing a set of Irish stamps featuring my native bee illustrations!


There has been a paradigm shift in the Nigerian fashion industry as many fashion enthusiasts are springing up on daily basis to bring to fore innovative styles, ideas and ways to drive the industry forward.
In Nigeria, we have the likes of Claire Idera, Okhai Akhigbe, Ibe Ananaba, who are doing spectacular fashion illustrations and at the same time smiling to the bank.
Another of such creative fashion enthusiast doing extremely amazing in this regard is Francis Onuk, a fashion illustrator who uses ball pen to create fashion images, styles and patterns which translates into a ready-to-be sewn attire.
A sneak peep at his array of work over the years speaks volumes and depicts a 21st century urban fashion and style illustrations that is very appealing to the eye.
His style of illustrations is out of this world as he takes advantage in using either a blue or black ball pen to create his art work. He also leverage on using oil and watercolour pigments to paint his illustrations which give his work a more visual appeal.
It takes a deeper technical know-how in creating ready to-be-sewn custom made fashion illustrations. But for Francis, his ability to create superb fashion and styles illustrations using a biro-pen is highly commendable.
Having been in the business of creative arts solutions for almost a decade, his passion and zeal has been an edge to him.
Below are more breath-taking pictures of his ready-to-be-sewn fashion and art illustrations.


Biography: English painter, illustrator, printmaker, stage designer, filmmaker, writer and teacher born in Waal, Bavaria. Herkomer exhibited annually at the Royal Academy, London, from 1869. His best known subjects depict the poor and disadvantaged, a characteristic fostered in part by his own humble origins. His style vacillated between the delicate idealism of Frederick Walker (whom he greatly admired) and the more vigorous brushwork of contemporary German realist painting. In 1899 William II awarded Herkomer the Order of Merit, which entitled him to add the prefix ‘von' to his name. Although Herkomer continued to exhibit genre subjects throughout his career, the principal focus of his painting after 1880 was portraiture. Later in life, Herkomer became involved with the fledgling British film industry, making and appearing in several films from 1912 to 1914. His ran an art school at Bushey between 1883 to 1904, and drew an international cadre of students most notably William Nicholson. He received a knighthood in 1907.


Outside, Outside Again (Forwards Backwards), 1991
This painting preceded the rest of the Eisenstein paintings. It followed logically from my other work that I should have first thought of the question of the oblique in these terms, it’s directly related to work like Distraction and it made sense to me to think first of a frontal square with an oblique margin.
The painting is currently lost. It was on consignment to Doug Christmas at ACE Gallery, Los Angeles, and was shown there. Since then it may have been sold in two parts. Research has yielded an old auction house record that suggests as much. Any information of the whereabouts of all or part of this work would be appreciated.
Force (Von Richtofen's Aeroplane Considered As a Mouth), 1988. Gouache on paper, framed. 28"x28"x8"
This piece sold at auction in 2006.
Painting, 1970, Acrylic on Canvas, 8'x4'approx.
A collector in Southern California own this painting, approximately 8'x4'. We know because someone called a while ago about restoring it. Any information about this paintings whereabouts would be appreciated.

HOW TO PAINT A RED FLOWER SUCCESSFULLY


Many of my paintings and drawings have been influenced by my fourteen years in Africa and subsequent visits to other African countries, drawing inspiration from the colours, the spirit and the way of life.
My sketches (I never walk around without a sketchbook) often provide the inspiration for a painting. I try to express my personal reaction to a subject, which in my case means I often vary the technique or style. I work in oil, acrylics, watercolour and do collages and drawings.
I regularly exhibit and have held exhibitions in Germany, Iran, India, South Africa, Botswana, Scotland and England. Twelve of them where solo exhibitions. I have won a number of art prizes. My work has been sold world wide.
I am an Associate member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, the Birmingham Art Circle and the Sutton Coldfield Society of Artists.
For the last 6 years I have run a once weekly life drawing group in my studio. As you can see from the menu buttons I have split up my artwork into four sections.


Limited Edition Prints
Each painting is available as a strictly limited edition of 850 prints and is signed, titled and numbered by the artist. They are supplied ready mounted in a choice of two mount colours – cream and soft green.
The size of each print is given under the picture shown in the gallery. It is printed on A4 Archival Matte Paper (29.7cm x 21cm, 11.7ins. x 8.3ins.) and together with the mount and backing board, makes an overall dimension of 35.5cm x 27.9cm (14 ins. x 11 ins.)
