RE: The rocks got a new, knitted home

in Kindness Rocks4 months ago

What a nice gift!! And above all very practical to organize the implements of your new hobby.

I don't know why your varnish cracked. Normally the coat you put on is very thin, subtle, just to seal everything. I don't know if your varnish is too thick, if so, try thinning it just a little.

Very nice the rock you made for your son's girlfriend and the horses too. I couldn't paint horses, or any animal, I'm terrible at drawing, I would have to use a mold or a guide. You are getting better every day!!!!

By the way...congratulations very late, I always forget and end up congratulating my friend, who lives in Madrid, as if she lived here...the second Sunday 🤣

Sort:  

Thank you @mdrguez, I am trying to give my best :))
You can try with drawing, maybe you would surprise yourself 😇

The varnish. Look, this is how the other looks like... I don't know if you will see the lines from the brush 🖌️

And the rock from the post I applied a lot less and tried to smooth it with my fingertips before the lines from the brush dry. And it was ok until it dried more and then I realized it was not the thing I had to do. So, it's still a learning process now. 🤭 {maybe I should just stay with music hahaha}

And thank you for the congratulation, the same congratulations to you, in advance ✨

Yes, I can see the brush marks. I seem to see a white veil on the finish, can it be? Or is it the photo? Is the varnish not completely transparent?

In the photo it seems that far from brightening the colors, the varnish dulled it, was it like that?

Try to dilute it a little bit next time, so that it is more liquid so that it doesn't mark the brush so much and it takes a little while to dry. Sometimes varnishes tend to get a little complicated.

Noooo, music, rocks, your stories...you are capable of that and much more. Además todas tus rocas están súper chulas!!!!

Thanks for the congratulations, you are on time!

I will try to find a free moment tomorrow 😅 and take a photo of the varnish itself. (it is 00:30 now so the photo would not be any better hahaha) Now I have doubts, did I buy a good one at all 🤦‍♀😂

A veces olvido que estamos a 6h de diferencia jajaja. Hasta mañana, que descanses.

Good morning 🌅

So this is what the varnish looks like

And in the moment when I apply it. Later when it dries it becomes transparent

If I dilute it, it's with water I guess 😅

Good afternoon to you.

The varnish seems to be of good quality, I think diluting it (with water 😁) will make things easier for you. Go testing until you like the result. It may take a little while to dry but it will.

Thank you Mrs Pro Artist for the tips 😇
If I even get any better, I will know that your tips and help had great effects in the process 😉
