“It’s not about resources, it’s about your resourcefulness.”
This quote was expressed by an American motivational Speaker Tony Robbins, and by which artist Ms. Sheila Paren has proven that this quotation is precise — showcasing her acrylic paintings on wood slices.
On her Facebook post, she mentioned that since there was no canvas available, she instead painted on wood slices. The post gained high traction, and received compliments from family and friends. Aside from posting photos on Facebook, she also shares time-lapse videos of her creations in her YouTube account.
Acrylic painting is a type of painting wherein aside from canvas boards, it can also be used on papers, woods, metals and other materials. Although it is very possible to paint on different materials using acrylic paints, it is highly advisable to research on dos and don’ts of using acrylic paints on chosen surface materials.
Another advantage of using acrylic paints is that artists can easily clean their brushes since it only needs water for cleaning. But as a disadvantage, acrylic paint easily dries up; hence, it requires artists to work on their pieces quickly. This is opposite to oil painting wherein an artist can go back to it the next day, and still be able to blend colors since it is still wet.
Paren’s acrylic painting on wood slices are highly commendable. Her artworks can be used as home decorations which many art enthusiasts like her would love to have. Moreover, making use of wood slices for artwork somehow keeps us in touch with nature.
Aside from showcasing her talent on painting, Paren’s latest creations can also influence other artists to become more resourceful on looking for more opportunities on how they can practice their talent.
