6 1/2 x 7 5/8 Mixed Media on Hand Painted Paint Cans
Each one of these 16 hand painted mixed media paint cans are 100% unique and hand done by Ron Zakrin. Check out the detailed descriptions within each of the 16 as well as the 1xRun Thru Interview with Ron Zakrin on 1xBlog
"For some I pulled all of the loose paper off of the can, but wanted to keep the remnants of paint drips as a reminder of the piece’s original purpose. After a good bath in alcohol to remove oil and ensure good paint adhesion, I applied a couple of coats of primer, then began sketching with vine charcoal. I liked the rawness of the sketch, so I reinforced the lines with a carbon stick and kept them visible. I coated the drawing with a clear acrylic resin and painted over that with acrylic colors. I re-coated that with clear acrylic resin and applied some plastic stars while it was still wet. After it dried I spray coated the can with a matte spray varnish. Others are painted with acrylic colors, embellished with other things like a paper doily, an old beer bottle label, old block prints of mine and other collage materials." - Ron Zakrin
