| 'Can't Force a Mule' 12x14 acrylic/oil pastels on textured canvas. |
I started prepping my canvas today, should have done it last night so that the prime coat would be finished but...I'm a bit of a procrastinator at times and well that just didn't happen! so anyways I was just trying to get my textured layer that I put on the canvas today to dry faster and somewhere I read that with acrylic material it's better to use the oven that a blow dryer because it dries through and through instead of just the top layer. So i did just that..stuck it into the oven. 10 or so minutes later I'm starting to smell a potent chemical type smell as it wafts through my home in all it's glory and i say to myself "guess i better go check on the canvas". I open up the oven door and the stuff is bubbling up on the canvas like a bad case of the chicken pox! OH DEAR.
