The King's HeART would like to encourage you to work on your creativity and develop further skills. Our techniques are a help to
give you ideas but most of all we encourage you to try this out for yourself. Please also use other colours and let these techniques only
be a starter to refresh your creative follow-up.
The background of your painting can be left white or made in another background colour. It is nice to make a background in two or three colours.
This painting is divided in 2 colour zones with no specific borderlines. The borderlines of the yellow and red are worked through each other right there
on the canvass. A wide brush can be used to apply the paint but foam rollers can be quit effective in filling a large space in little time. They are also very
effective if you want the background to have an even layer of paint.
More exercises: Use cheap paper sheets to try this technique with different colours (white goes with every other colour). Try putting the white on the top of the page and working down the page gradually getting a stronger tone in the combination colour. Now ask the Holy Spirit for another place to apply the white and where to apply the other colour.Try this with different colour combinations.
In short: Dig your own well!
Add a little bit of fluid Acrylic Medium to your paint to make it smoother, it is a great help to fluently mix colors or make transparant layers.
You want straight lines dividing two colour zones? Use paper painters tape, stick it on your shirt a couple of times before sticking it on your painting to decrease the glueing power and avoid damage of fresh layers of paint.
