I recently watched Don Peterson's video on how he does his remarkable paintings. He uses Elemer's glue! So I gave it a shot, as well as using some mastic to block out areas of the painting. I am not sure how I feel about this technique, nor how long it will last, but it does make the colors nice and rich. Mr. Peterson gets an almost glossy look to his paintings, and the colors glow like jewels. I will have to experiment with this more.2015-04-14T13:54:24+00:00monthlyhttps://mockingbirdsatmidnight.com/2015/04/14/how-to-draw-figures-by-drawing-a-stick-man/https://mockingbirdsatmidnight.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/stickmanwalking.jpgStickmanWalkinghttps://mockingbirdsatmidnight.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/stickmanslouching.jpgStickmanslouchinghttps://mockingbirdsatmidnight.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/stickmanjumping.jpgStickmanjumpinghttps://mockingbirdsatmidnight.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/stickman2.jpgStickman2Figure
