Hand Painting with Latex Paint

HAND PAINTING WITH LATEX PAINT

In general house painting, latex paint is most commonly used in concrete walls as a primer or for finishing. However, this kind of paint can also be used on wood especially for beginners who cannot set-up a canvas. This is an ‘easy application, easy go, and easy handling’ material because it is water-soluble, and does not give the strong odor that enamel or acrylic paint gives. With these qualities, we can also use our fingers to paint aside from traditional brush. (-->Here is an example of a work using latex and hands/ fingers.)

To achieve some texture on your work, you must first paint the plywood once or twice with random shades and images before the actual painting of the image; make random strokes and let it dry for a few minutes. The texture from the paint will enhance the appearance, especially when it is beside any illumination. The bumpy feel should be sensed when you use your fingers as brush. Enjoy.
