45⟩ Tell me how many coats of paint considered as a quality paint?

Color coats depend on what type and make of color you using for painting, some darker colors, and patterns needs up to three coats of color to cover. To figure it out how much coat do you require, always wait for the paint to dry between coats. Although one coat is enough if colour contrast is not an issue.

About 5 months ago, I finished the biggest project that I have been given during the 10 years that I have worked as a painter.

50⟩ Suppose there was no chance of ever being paid, would you still paint?

I’ll admit, it’s much more motivating for me to paint when I can visualize some kind of reward for my efforts. I’m not talking about just money here, simple recognition also counts for something as well. If I was the only person left on Earth, I’m not sure that I’d continue to paint.

Some artists I’ve talked to sometimes tell me that they have a tough time selling their paintings, that they become attached to a few of them and never want to part with them. For me it’s different. There isn’t one of my paintings that I wouldn’t part with. The fact that someone is actually interested in my art, and would consider displaying it in their home is what brings me the most pleasure.

To paint your room perfectly you require

☛ Roll the full height of the wall and keep a wet edge, this would help you to avoid lap marks

☛ To get a perfect edge, first let the paint dry and later you can cut the tape loose

52⟩ Tell me how would you categorize your painting style?

Generally speaking I’d say I’m a realist, and most of my paintings reflect that style. However I’ve recently begun to experiment with more abstract and impressionist styles, actually my most current painting is a mix of those two. In the future I plan to experiment more with different styles and eventually move away from realism.

57⟩ Tell me why paint extender is used for painting?

Paint extender like Floetrol does two things

☛ It reduces the paint drying time, giving you a longer window period to overlap just painted areas without having lap marks left on the walls.

☛ Secondly, the extender helps paint to levels out and spread out the paint, eliminating the brush strokes.

Paint extender is usually used when you have to color woodwork, cabinets, and drywall and so on.

60⟩ Tell me what is it that inspires you to paint what you paint?

I’m not sure I’d call it inspiration really, more like a drive. I just get this urge in me to create something, so I paint. As for why I paint a certain subject, mainly ideas pop into my head, either that or I see an amazing photograph and want to recreate it.
