Shermy=Share with Me 六寶媽日誌

Geraldton城裡明天舉辦The Fools Fest歡樂愚人節活動，其中有一個項目是Live Art Battle，是一個限時三十分鐘的作畫比賽。因為不用錢、又有提供所有器材，於是我本人也不管自己根本沒有在帆布上作畫的經驗，就很勇敢的去報名了，明天下午三點準時開戰。

馬的！超怕的好嗎？這是在一堆人前的即興作畫。如果是畫石頭，我的信心可以是百分之百，因為我很熟悉石頭和壓克力的組合，但是帆布…真的不知道會迸出什麼火花。於是我從家裡挖出之前買的帆布小掛畫(當初以為是空白的帆布才買下手的，買了才知道上頭有印圖案)，幸好用清水和刷子就能把圖案刷掉，於是這幾天就在玩壓克力和帆布的組合。

我的第一幅畫是用油漆用的大刷子刷出背景，在顏料還沒乾的情況下就接著畫樹，我以為快乾的壓克力真的很快乾，但沒想到抹了厚厚顏料的壓克力，還是可以盡情的發揮。因為我喜歡樹，所以就畫了樹，比賽當天也會以樹為主題作畫。

第二幅畫徒手抹出背景，也是在顏料未乾的情況下接著畫樹。本想全程用手作畫，但是指甲真的不夠細緻，最後還是靠小畫筆來畫樹枝。

恩，練習完這兩幅畫後，覺得就算三十分鐘我只能抹出個背景這樣也就夠了，哈哈哈！會不會對自己的要求太簡單了一點啊？

好啦，重點是，明天我會去克服自我的恐懼，用好玩的心態和平凡的心，看自己能創作出什麼。我自己也很好奇究竟會畫出個什麼東西來，敬請期待！

Playing with Acrylic Paint

Live Art Battle for The Fools Fest is on tomorrow 3pm at Stow Garden in Geraldton. You have 30 minutes to paint. It’s free to register and all the gears were supplied. So, I registered with my brave heart even I have no experience of painting acrylic on the canvas at all.

Shit! Of course I’m scared! You got to paint in front of people. If it’s a rock painting battle I won’t be scared cause I’m familiar with the medium. But they are canvas; I have no idea what’s going to happen.

Lucky I got some canvas which I bought long time ago only because I thought they are blank ones and realize they got simple printing on it. I washed and brushed them under the water, and these few days I was playing with them.

For my first attempt, I used big paint brushes. I didn’t wait for the paint to dry and paint the tree straight on. I thought acrylic paints were quick dry but never understand if the paints were really thick you can still play around it.

I love trees. So I paint tree. Tomorrow I’m going to paint tree as well.

For my second attempt I used my bare hand to do the background and then the tree. Unfortunately my finger nails are not delicate enough. I still have to use detail paint brush to paint the branches.

After doing these two paintings, I reckon if I can just do a background within 30 minutes that should be enough. Bahaha! Is that too simple to ask?

The point is tomorrow I’m going to face my own fear. I will just go have some fun and see what I can create. I’m curious. Let’s wait and see!
