It should not cost that much. Sometimes on Amazon the sellers raise their prices, I would just search on there for the size that you need. There’s probably another seller that will offer it. It should be around $50 or $60 for 50 sheets.

Thank you so much!!

There are so many good art fairs in Kansas City! If you're trying to sell your work at them, I'd check out Santacaligon or Westport Art fair. There's also the Plaza art fair and Brookside art annual, but they're hard to get into.

@@NeuroSoup I don't actually sell art, but the broader strokes of your advice are insightful for anyone trying to sell anything they've made or collected as well, which I do from time to time. Hell, you could use this as a training video for a yard sale on yard sale day. I will definitely look into those events though, I think they'd be great date ideas, so thank you 💚 hopefully I'll see you some day. ✌️

I'm assuming you're asking about the dots I applied with sharpie to the blank side of the canvas. Rewatch the video, you will see exactly how I added them! Better than I can explain in text. But I use the holes I poked through the canvas and colored in the other side with the sharpie to use as a guide to know where to mount the stretchers :)

Glad it was helpful!

The original color does not change unless you thin it out too much. If you do a 50-50, mixture it should be fine. The only thing that will happen if you add too much medium is that it will become translucent. if you're worried about that do 25% medium, 75% paint and you'll definitely be good. The dried paint will have a glossy finish if you use heavy gloss gel medium.

Thanks 😊

@@NeuroSoup honestly I mean it

You’re welcome, happy to help 😁❤️

They work, if you wanna look at this video, you can see kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGq7qHt9lq5_h9ksi=TT0zpSxg84yuJHPj

I’m not sure what exact size you’re calculating, but the stretcher bars should not cost that much. if you look on the breathing color website, you can see that you have to order about 10 at a time, but the prices are around $10-15 each.

You are so welcome!

Yes, I made a video about the lights I use if you want to check that out 😁kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZzVo4NvhtmoY7csi=svXiOC6kOOk-mUcU

I think if you watch my cheap art fair booth video, it might be helpful to you. It goes more in depth in the mesh panel walls. But essentially most art tents are 10 x 10, so that’s the length of the walls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GWgKSjZd9qq9ksi=zZZxX6dgsMDXlO4y

@@NeuroSoup yes, i watched that too. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm your latest fan & subscriber!

You’re welcome!

Thanks for the compliments about my art! I have prints under $20, they’re on my website! ❤️ krystlecole.com

Yes, my initial thoughts for the colors and then how it turned out were a little different, but that is how abstract paintings evolve. That's one of the beautiful things about them I think, is that you feel in the flow as you are painting and things come about in the creative process. As for using a high saturated blue and then having to use a low saturated yellow, I don't think that's necessarily the case. It just depends on what your goals with the painting are. I have found that sometimes if you use all saturated colors it's a bit too much, but that also depends on the type of painting. For abstracts it seems like customers prefer more muted colors with pops of saturation. But with my animal painting, for example, people want all saturated colors. Everything saturated everywhere. The more saturation, the better honestly. It depends on the subject and style you are painting.

For my experience, getting the phone to Square up is really touchy. What I like to do is try to make sure the canvas is parallel with the edges of the phone. it’s a lot of small adjustments. But you want the area around the canvas to be even when you’re looking at it on the phone screen so you don’t want the vertical border to be thinner in one area than the other when looking at it is that in case it is not squared up. If that makes sense.

Yes, I was, abstract are fun

Thanks 😊

I do the same thing! I think showing how something is made is the easiest way to tell customers that it is not created by AI. I mean, if they can see you actually painting it or drawing it they know that human is making it. AI can't fake that, at least yet! :)

It's inevitable, like ads, micropayents, planned obsolescence. If you use their platforms, or Items they are the rug pullers and the gate keepers. America need abetter consumer and creator protections.

The positive thing is it will force artists to evolve. The bad part is many artists put tens of thousands of hours over a career or schooling and then just get yoinked by an algorithm. To be honest in the past foreign countries just stole stuff without changing it, slapping it on clocks and mugs and no one's suing anyone internationally..
