Canvass Fabric for Painting


Canvass or burlap? In painting after conceptualizing what to create, the artist prepares then the media and other materials he or she opts to use. Canvass is more refined in texture. It is formed from linen, cotton, hemp, or jute. It is also a great support for oil painting.

For samples of painting in canvass, check on the works of Eman Santos, artyii.com.

Oil Paint


Despite that oil paint dries for centuries, many great painters use oil. Obviously classic renowned painters used this because it was first known prior to the discovery of acrylic in wall painting. Aside from this, with the use of oil paint, artists are still given the chance to enhance more or modify their art piece because as it has been said it is not as quick-dry like that of the acrylic. It is more transparent, too in appearance as opposed to the opaque look of acrylic paint.

For samples of oil painting, why not check on the works of Asian artists at artyii.com, ‘ say Micaela’s work. See her works here: http://www.artyii.com/Myartyii-Micaela.

Wall painting is tradition to our homes to have. It is like a rite of passage for our ancestors to acquire painting and pass it on to future generations. Some however prefer wall painting in acrylic from oil painting. Wait for an hour or two and acrylic painting is good to go. It is a quick-dry paint and more opaque than oil.

Modern Wall Clock




The good news about antique clocks that look so creepy inside the home like that of the grandfather’s, is they also follow a new look as art becomes more modern. They have to by the way, Why not? As we, mentioned in our previous post, clocks do not just have practical use in our homes. They are home interior’s premier ornate. This is why even grandfather’s clock that has to look very classic becomes too modern too along with other decorative clocks.

This modern clock can be matched with an abstract modern painting. As much as we want to go very classic with our painting, it has to suit the overall feel of what the ambiance of the interior design exudes. Speaking of modern wall painting, why not check on the abstract paintings I saw in the net. You’ll find Nguyen Thi Du Du and his artworks on artyii.com. Browse some and pick one. My fave among her works is The Autumn Colour. Her works are cultural and temporary in style but my best choice among her creations look so decorative.




Try to match this with a modern decorative grandfather’s clock and it will really look fine in a minimalist interior design.

Who would not forget our ancestor's grandfather's clock that used to be a status symbol of class? It is a little creepy the moment you see this inside the house, most especially to antique looking kind. Good thing that nowadays these are designed to look like a bit modern. But what's the use of it's name if it would not look old like our grand dad, anyway? For the little kids, It may mean to scare them but for our old folks who want to retain a conservative style of the home interior, grand father's clock is nothing but a very useful decorative art inside the house.
