I’ve bought mediums but honestly saw no point, water works even better, if you even find yourself having to thin the paint. Save your money (and sanity) for the paints themselves, I reckon. I rarely had to thin my paint. I do keep a lot of paper towels on hand though, and regularly clean out my brushes every fifteen minutes or so.
Do you have several different shaped and sized paint brushes? I found it easier to have 2-3 of each type in a carousel, to cycle through, especially when you’ve got a dozen or more colours going on 🙂 It cuts down so much on time cleaning the one brush, as well as prevent panic attacks when you’vd made a mistake and urgently need to patch up an error.
I also used a Wilton cake turner as it made it ao easy to turn the statue without having to touch it, as well as elevating it to a better height. I like the Wilton as it had a rubber ring that helped grip the statue, and the lock lets you stop it from turning.
I started with DecoArt Americana, but moved onto Golden and never looked back!
I also strongly recommend testing paints, and colours on top of colours, on the bottom where you stick the felt pad on, if you cannot get a Muse to test paint on. I found that some colours can be horrible when overlayed another colour, the hard way.
We’re all excited over the trial drug because it’s successfully halted FOP in different mice models with FOP,
That’s a common misconception now, as FOP isn’t a disease, it‘s a genetic disorder. What we desperately want to stamp out though is the incredibly offensive (and incorrect, in all ways) the nicknames/ideas of Stone Man, Medusa Syndrome, Human Mannequin, Statue, etc.
FOP’s getting more recognition thanks to Hollywood; Grey’s Anatomy, Bones, Ridley Scott’s Tell-Tale flick, Stephen Fry, etc, (they still got facts wrong, except for Mr zfry who is a speaker for Friends of Oliver) but the media keeps sensationalising FOP as a freak show disease and giving wholly inaccurate info =(
Thanks! I’m really glad I changed over to the other paint, from DecoArt. but wish I had discovered it sooner!
Thanks for all the wishes 🙂
Yeah, hopefully the trial study will keep improving, Clementia is happy with how its going so far! The clinics are only based in the US, and I think one in Europe though. My sis and I aren’t eligible for it though in any case.
Sorry, I keep forgetting which forim host uses what code, like BBC, HTML, etc.
He is much darker in real life, more of a bronze, like the similar one with the blue chest here on the far left: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Mini-Keeper-Grab-Bag-Dragons-441421476
I took these with my iphone with flash on becauae I am bedridden.
That’s a great idea, sleeping baby gothic unis! 🙂 The small size also makes it easier for us to collect them as the size doesn’t take up much space like the bigger statues like the normal unicorns and dragons. I was thinking of a scale like the baby dragons, or the unicorn colts.
Apparently I heard that pinterest, like weheartit, is going to get shut down because people are using it as a way to steal images and claim it’s their work.
Also, like the above user said,it’s one more hoop/too much of a hassle to join. There’s already an official PYO Deviantart group to share our pics =D
