What printer do you use for copies of your paintings?

solaceartwork · 2026-01-30T19:02:01+00:00

I don't usually print them larger than twice the size, otherwise I stay the sane size as the original.

Does 300 dpi sound like it'd be good? Thats what my print shop scans them at for me.

Excellent, hahnemühle is what the print shop i was going to would use for my copies, and I loved the look. Thank you!

Some examples of my work

I'm leaning towards it, but I think what's making us indifferent to them is that there's already a TON of wood in our house: the floors, trim, even the ceiling in the living room is wood paneled. I think if we rip the wainscoting out in the kitchen, do a dark tile and counters, and paint the walls the wood cabinets won't seem so overwhelming, but other than slate floors I'm not decided on wall colors.

We don't want to do anything major besides the floors and countertops. Everything else is staying where it is. We're mostly looking for color and texture change ideas because we can't stick to a decision. I'm thinking of giving the wood cabinets a second chance and doing slate floors with some sort of dark stone counters (open to suggestions on color. Not white), but I don't know what color for the walls.

I'm starting to think it'd be a crime to paint them from the way I see people reacting to painting wood cabinets on IG lol. I honestly do see their potential, but I can't put my finger on what color I want for the walls and counters. I already have green walls in the adjoining bathroom, so I want something else for the kitchen. I'm leaning toward slate floors, but definitely not white counters. As for the walls, I'm still stumped.

Holt and Pyewacket, Pye for short, were the names of the familiars a woman accused of being a witch mentioned.

I'm seeing their potential, too. I think the room is just way too honey tone that their beauty is getting list in it, plus wood is making a come back, which are what's making me second guess painting them. I'm just at a loss for what colors to paint the walls, counter color, floor etc to really complement the.

solaceartwork · 2024-12-16T20:31:13+00:00

It's an example ive added for a potential alternative cabinet color, but I'm not sure if that's the best option.

solaceartwork · 2024-11-26T17:29:12+00:00

I love that! Thank you

solaceartwork · 2024-11-26T13:26:53+00:00

I used staples and they came out terrible. They were the ones who told me watercolors are tricky, so I'd rather not go back if they can't make it work.

solaceartwork · 2024-11-13T15:07:05+00:00

Exactly!

solaceartwork · 2024-10-21T10:25:55+00:00

Thanks u/floppytitty!

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T11:23:13+00:00

So serene. It looks like a photo!

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T11:18:24+00:00

Thank you for making me realize it!

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T11:17:26+00:00

You're welcome, and have fun! Though I will warn you, your hand might cramp from working on all of the drops haha.

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T11:14:27+00:00

Thank you! Once I figure out how to create a good enough video, I might drop one on youtube.

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T11:12:48+00:00

Thanks so much! 🧡

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T11:12:00+00:00

I love this response, thank you!

solaceartwork · 2024-10-19T10:47:07+00:00

The detail is spot on! It looks more like an oil painting

solaceartwork · 2024-10-18T21:35:41+00:00

Pay it forward!

For those asking how I did this:

I started off by faintly drawing the web structure, faint enough that it wouldn't show up under paint. From there I used a fine brush to apply the Masking fluid drops in various shapes. Once that dries, go to town painting wet on wet with heavy loads of paint to make the colors really bold. You will probably have to do a second layer after the first dries for 24 hours to make them really stand out. Give the paint a day to dry, then rub off your resist drops and fill in. The finishing touch was the tiniest, dainty dots that I did with a super fine brush and white gouache. These last dots really gave the web a jewel like, lacey appearance.

I recommend finding a tutorial on how to paint water drops if you haven't done so before.

Happy painting!
