Anything on Canvas

please join if you are watching! ;)

Am thinking about this one. Any chance we could push the send by date back a bit? I know that is probably enough time for me... I am just worried I won't get it done. Like, a week into December? Also, can this be done on those canvas covered boards, or does it need to be on stretched canvas?

Watercolor on canvas? Can that really be done. Never tried doing it that way always using watercolor paper.

@ladydy5 I've been able to use watercolor on canvas. I think its looks nice.

& my color preference = aquas/greens/turquoise/gold - anything including or all of the above!!!

@ladydy5 - see my profile pics for some examples of watercolor on canvas :) there's a golden acrylic medium called "absorbent ground" that you primer the canvas with & it gives it a tooth like watercolor paper, pretty cool :)

ack! I'd LOVE to do this but it is too close to Thanksgiving and we are heading south that week...hope you do this again!

I'm going to move the sign up date and the sent by date, because I want more people to sign up and because of the holidays ;) But by doing so hope people really take the time to do a good job. If you have a lot planned for the holiday season, take in consideration, if you can really full fill this swap.

I do not paint with water colors and didn't realize you don't usually paint on canvas. So perhaps some nice sturdy paper with backing and/or just as long as it looks nice.

I also wanted to remind people of giving hearts, as not for extras, but a great job on meeting their swap requirements. Making the actual swap that much more. And please leave comments for your partner, they will for you and it will be appreciated by all involved.

Please let me know if you have any further comments or questions. :)

ty! ;)

I like the colors green and peach. ;)

Ok, I'm in. How do I wrap and mail this?

My color preferences... I love that mossy green, it's kind of olive-y. A little more blue in it than the old 70's green, but still more yellow than blue in it. My house has lots of fall colors... brick red, golds, brown, even a little deep purple. I love fall leaves. I love pictures that are beautiful, but maybe with a little unusual twist. And I love little bits of poetry in my paintings, too. Or words.

But honestly I could find somewhere to put anything, black and white, shades of gray, blue and green, pretty much anything except pastels. And contemporary would match, or sort of rustic Italian, even Asian...lots of different styles would fit into my house. So how about artist's choice? I will trust your judgement. Have fun!!

I'm in - I like most colors but prefer no neons or pastels, I live in a lake house, Tuscan is my decorating style if I were to put a name to it.

oh, one more thing - can it be canvas board (panel) or does it need to be stretched canvas?

i love really pretty, intricate things. : ) i love daisies, leaves, poetry, verses, but really, if you have a beautiful idea, i'm sure i'll love it! i also love fun things and different styles... you know, anything with an indie flare. ; )

it can be on canvas board, but it must be sturdy. wrap it so it wont get scratched or such. A box preferably would be the best mailing way, but as long as it wont bend, maybe bubble wrap in a soft envelope, all depends on the size. And just make sure your package says do not bend, fragile. :)

raindrops loves giraffes, too :)

you know me so well. : )
