This is my recreation of "Crystal Magic" by Bill Alexander.
I also decided to hop on this winter painting theme train 😀. This was really nice to do, mostly because of how simple it was, though I decided to leave out the big tree Bill does in the end as I felt like it did not suit this one so well. I also decided to add some of my own stuff here and there to make it more me.
I have been on a little break once again, so it was really great to paint today. I had some troubles with my new brush as my old one just broke down 😭.
Does anyone know a way to make the lines behind the canvas dissapear? I really don't like them and they are very noticeable here.
This was painted on a 50x70cm canvas.
Thank you.
Nice composition Jim, idk other than careful blending while it’s still wet. Maybe let it dry and paint a dark border around it?
Slip a sheet of card stock between the canvas and the stretcher bars. Works great. Nice work.
Beautiful and I would agree with Tomi on the card stock or cardboard to eliminate the lines!
Nice job Jim!
Nice job Jim. As far as the lines, I do what Tomi and Sandy suggested, except I use folded up paper towels (about 6 layers thick).
WOW!!! A+++++ my friend! I love the dominant white color! Great work!
BTW... I haven't forgotten to email you my little add-on secret. But I will do an article here on TIB on how to create them. So stand by! 😊
Thank you Dirk!
Thank you Brian! The lines faded away a bit after it dried and little blending, so thank you for your help!
Thank you Tomi! I will definitely try it out when I encounter this problem again!
Thank you Sandy!
Thank you rtparsjr!

Very nice Version 👍🏼🇩🇪I can't say anything about the canvas problem, my formats are much smaller
