be cheep, buy a rol of canvas, buy some gesso, buy a big piece of plywood, some staples, maby a staple gun, scretch that shit and when your done pic the taples off shove it in a frame or some shit, no wood workin required, i dunno if the paint would crack if you moves the canvas around though

[Slob]

yo if your markers are exploding its due too altitude shit or something because they are manufactured somewhere else... im high... but no honestly shake the marker up real good, hold it tip up and pump it with the lid. you have too wait a few, but it lets out the pressure, and they wont explode.

slob canvas from 2003

[MoNkEy]

slob man ur style is so nice amazes me lol. Also very nice canvas. I just got myself an airbrush so im gonna use that for some canvases. Basically it will be a bit like a mini spray can so i can do fades and shit

[Rogan]

yeah im doing my first canvas peice as well right now and i use decos and permapaque for the thin lines but i need some help..ive so far written my tag out in gold letters with purple 3d/shadow thing but theres a lot of extra space and i got ideas to fill it but cant think of a good color to go with gold and purple besides white which isnt an option considering the canvas is white

[Rogan]

slob that shits amazing dude...you ever go to art school or anything or is that just natural talent...wish i could do shit that good

[resonatx]

ay u shuldnt use those permpaque.... they cant b whipped off with yer finger, so like if u put it down and sum1 rubs there hand or accidently rubs it it will fuck up yer peice. i ve had bad experiences with em'

[Slob]

i don't use airbrush for fades, too much effort.

and no i never went too school, i've just painted tones of canvas, and keep finding new things too work on. canvas painting really taught me a lot about piecing on walls.

[Rogan]

nice slob, i still think that stuffs amazingly good ...and resonatx i dont use the permapaques on walls just blackbook and canvas

[Rogan]

oh yeah...i forgot to mention i decided to ptu alight blue in with that gold and purple i just aksed my brother cause i wasnt gettin a response in time...peace...

i went to michaels and i bought a 6 pack of Deco Colors, i also bought some cheap-ass small canvas boards, do i paint them with spraypaint, let them dry, and then i pumped the paint pen like it said to and gushes of paint flowed out. tyied this with the other ones and they did it too. then when i tried to write, do the outline, the pens kept not witing and stalling.
what was i dong wrong? was it the markers? has anyone else had this problem with decos?

yeah i know exactly what your talkign about man...you just gotta shake them and wait liek 15 seconds then theyll start flowing gtreat again

[MoNkEy]

slob i got it for doin hats. trainers and shirts but i thought why not use it for canvases. Im gonna do a biomech style 3d and i need a lot of shading so it should help with that canvas.

[kayos-s]

go to micheals grow some balls and rack decos,woodcrafts or garden markers even canvases if u got the guts then go and rack the paint u need and its allll free :lol: then u have all u need to do a canvas

[acidconceptone]

kayos-s DONT BRING BACK DEAD THREADS LIKE THIS ITS BEEN DEAD FOR 2 YEARS. fuck man how many pages did you have do dig thru before u found this and said "hey this is from 2 years ago but ill mention racking deco's from michaels cause im the shit!" i mean whatever and everything but this is an old fucking thread let it die

[sheistbugzNY]

go to lowes or home depot and buy a 4x8 foot masonite sheet and have them cut it to your desired canvas size ...they do it for free! go to walmart and buy a gallon oflight satin or semi gloss paint.cheaper in the discount section from mixing wrong colors... buy a hand saw/miter box set for like 10 bucks and some nails and a hammer. use 1x2 inch trim wood to make your frames..all well under 100 bucks!!! and you dont need all the wood working tools like those dudes are telling you! or go tp pat catans or michaels and get the canvas multi packs..you can get 16x20 five packs for 20 bucks. dont do what evweryone else is doing! use mixed media for your pieces!
