How to Paint a 3D
Simple Sculptural Rose
Oil painting can be a good alternative to go to when switching mediums for a short time, if you normally paint with acrylics. This is one way to prevent Artist's Block when you can keep fresh inspiration going all the time.
For the thick acrylic painter, see how you can use a thick acrylic base here in these photos, and after completely drying, have a wonderful 3-dimensional surface to paint on with oil paints. This makes thick painting incredibly fun.
These perfectly smooth shapes were made with a super heavy gel medium using cake decorating tips, dried thoroughly and adhered to a canvas, dried thoroughly again, then wonderful rich oil paint used on top of this wonderful dimensional surface like a plaster plaque.
This oil painting was made in 2012 and still looks great, just lacking a little shine. I should probably put a varnish on now since it's been awhile for the oils to dry (6 months to a year for oils to dry).
