Hello friends! I'm Alannis, a painter who mostly works with acrylic. I enjoy working on a variety of surfaces such as canvas, wood, and ceramic; and my subject matter ranges from wildlife to landscapes, and from space to abstract. I began to enjoy painting when I was about 16 years old, which is when my passion switched from pencil drawing to working with paint mediums. In the summer of 2018, I began to really throw myself into my art. I began painting more, challenging myself to create realistic paintings, and pushed myself out of my comfort zone by participating in art festivals, selling and discussing my work. The subject matter of my work is heavily influenced by my love of nature, as well as my personal experiences. I find painting to be very therapeutic, and it is my greatest passion. I'm working to push myself to not only paint, but to create more video content, outlining my painting process. I appreciate all of your support, and thank you for joining me on this journey :)
This beautiful...i just bought a bunch of wooden rounds at Hobby Lobby yesterday I've never painted on the rounds before , I paint on canvases. Do you use a primer or any kind of finish on the rounds after the paint dries I would appreciate if you could lmk what to use if any. Thank you so much and again..... beautiful painting . 😊❤
Hi there! Sometimes I prime them and sometimes I don't. The paint dries faster if you don't prime it, which can be difficult to work with. I just use a layer of white acrylic paint as the primer. And I'll just put a varnish on afterwards. I use Liquitex :) ❤️
