New Ferry Comma Project -Stone Paintings

Look out for the series of free workshops being run as part of the Comma Project for the New Ferry Butterfly Park. These are being run by the six artists in residence up until mid September. To-day I ran a workshop for the local community to paint on stones with the special tennis court line paint, an acrylic paint supplied by Promain Paints. The paint is slip-proof, scuff proof and will last about 15 years outdoors. It is top quality acrylic paint to work with. You can easily put pale colours on top of dark colours. It can be put on thickly or thinly and works for details or rough textured effects so is very flexible. You can paint directly onto stone or put a base layer of white on first depending on the effect you want to achieve.
