work by Jim Sande

Glynn Kalara said...: Very creative. I really like the composition. Did you use house paint again in this one?; 11:19 AM
Jim Sande said...: yes, it's house paint on paper.; 1:37 PM
Glynn Kalara said...: Works for me! What kind of paper are you using?; 1:54 PM
Jim Sande said...: Glenn, I use this stuff

HP Universal Heavyweight Coated Paper (42 Inches x 100 Feet Roll)

I can't afford to use real art supplies at the volume of work that I do. It would cost me a ton just to do one of these.; 1:59 PM
Jim Sande said...: I use little one quart cans of paint that cost under $20 and they last me a long time. Right now I've got about 14 colors in use. That amount of paint in some art supply acrylic paint would send me to the poor house.; 2:01 PM
Glynn Kalara said...: You can buy fine art quality paint online for far less then in the stores. The biggest difference I can see is that house paint is very thin generally as compared to art paint, because it has to cover large areas and soak into porous materials. Beyond that its great. I use it in small amounts in some of my work here. What I lack is a big shop where I can use Industrial tools . If I had a large shop I'd also make my own frames. You really need space to do the whole 9 yards. A old Warehouse would be nice.; 2:10 PM
Jim Sande said...: I'm lucky, right now I got a good space. I want to eventually do some big canvasses, right now I just want to try to up my game.; 2:18 PM
