Getting started


Apart from the pictures of the children that I will glue on one of the sides, I want to paint the other sides. The first thing to do is to "gesso" the boxes: "paint" a coat of white or black medium on top of which I will be able to paint...Except that last week end, feeling inspired, I painted 5 boxes with numbers......BUT could still see some of the "pampers" headings that still showed through the paint and the gesso....

My art teacher told me to paint OVER everything with some white acrylic paint with casein.....I felt a little discouraged at the thought of painting over my first boxes, but when I saw the fabulous paint she advised me to buy, I was really happy and excited again! It's called PAON LIN, Rue Garibaldi in Brussels....a little tiny shop, but fabulous paints! I feel like an artist! I'm just a sham, but these paints .....they're the real thing!!!
