GALVESTON TRUEHEART BUILDING |
|
 |
|
 This is a print of a painting by Pam Heidt. The subject is the Trueheart Building in downtown Galveston, TX. Galveston is filled with fabulous old buildings, beautiful architecture, and a plethora of historical homes. I was delighted to find this print at a moving sale. |
|
 This print had
a beautiful detailed border, so I had to cut strips of
poster board to create the right size matting. I used the tissue paper
technique I discussed in the "Lady with a Parrot" project. The base
coat of the matting is a parchment white, and different shades of green
paint were dry brushed on to create a dimensional effect.The frame was painted a linen white and the edges were lightly brushed with an olive green paint. All of the paints were made by FolkArt except for the linen white. |

| RESOURCES: PAINT The first time I purchased the flat linen white paint was at K-mart. It was part of the Martha Stewart Line. Since then, I have had it mixed at Home Depot. If you let them know the brand, and name of the paint color, they can mix it for you. Lowes will probably do the same thing. METALLIC PAINTS FolkArt has a wide variety of metallic paint colors. You can find FolkArt Paint at Wal-Mart and Craft Stores. If you prefer to shop on-line www.createforless.com has great prices. |
