Instead of throwing this old chopping board into the fireplace when it cracked and became warped, it became a 3D image using acrylic paints.
Below is the process that I used to create the cutting board painting, then some close-ups of the work.
I first taped off the edges, and spray-painted the board with primer, sketched a basic layout, then got out the acrylic paints, beginning with the sky.
From here, the following photos will show most of the steps involved in completing the painting:
Letting the Paint Play
When working with acrylics, I like to bring light to the picture by starting with the darkest undercoat, and then adding the light by mixing white and/or yellow into the base color.
Finally, growing some moss and lichen on the rocks:
A Few More Close-ups
Thanks for looking into my cutting board!
Wow...such a wonderful 3D art work by @therealpaul
Sir..I think ur drawing and painting skills are execellent...specialy that is 3D paint..wow...
Awesome idea and great work..
I think U have wonderful and creative artwork ideas...
Wel done sir...
Thanks @dini1, I appreciate the comment.
Okay, that is freaking awesome. Is it something you did recently? I want to buy it- ohh, I have my first printed book in a case on the mantle, I could put it up with that, make the mantle a showcase for such things! Actually, I could settle for a high quality photo of it, Howie plans on getting a 3d printer :) Actually in that case I would love one of the oil too!
Oh and stop by chat when you get a moment.
Yep, I did this over the last two days, the paint is still soft! When I saw the potential for 'steps' in 3D I got the paints out.
Pretty cool! I take it a shadow box is in order? :)
I'll probably just hang it up somewhere!
At least a coat of varnish? ;)
Varnish might be a good idea, so it can be dusted and cleaned, and I have some around here somewhere.
wow wow wow couldn't stop myself from saying that damm that's the best creative work ever !!
