i am finally done with this project. i still love working on manual artworks/paintings as this one. inspite of the surge of prints and tarps (tarpaulin)or vinyl, which our department is always involve with, it is yet refreshing to touch base with this almost primitive style to achieve some effect i am trying to get sans the aid of technology. an opportunity to exercise skills and not get drowned in theories.
(this work is a request by a fellow etsian--bitandbee, graphic illustration supplied by the way)
To achieve the vintage look and appeal--on artworks:
-it should be manually done, painted (biased here, silly hahaha!)
-capture the simple,forms and its primitive style
-use coffee, or tea. apply it liberally over the work.
caution: coffee is washable unless you use emulsion instead of
water. tea, stains. that is my experience here.(and oh,
the sun shines so good here, that you cant see the
aged effect. a bit over exposed.and oh, should have adjusted the contrast in photoshop-i forgot!) but in person---the feel and the looks are all there.
-crackling paints are good too--only if you dont move the painting a lot, because they really crack too much when dried. use illusion instead, paint cracks.
