    Third On Canvas 2013 – Alexis Martinez Puleio


    2013 - 02.08

    IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! That is right! I just finished my two day painting event for Third On Canvas 2013! The weather in Florida was absolutely PERFECT for the event! I was lucky enough to paint next to Popo Flanigan, who is so nice and was a joy to work next to.

    For last year’s Third On Canvas event, I painted orchids and got label as “The Orchid Lady”. In keeping with the name, I wanted to do orchids again this year. However, I stepped up my game this year and introduced RESIN to the artwork!

    I started by painting a wood board a Sea Foam green color, then poured on resin, painted my acrylic orchids on top of this resin coat, and then added a top coat of resin to the painting. This gave a great “floating” effect, with a natural shadow.

    Here are some photos of my White Orchid Painting on Resin, and my Purple Orchid Painting, as well as some fun photos from the day!

    Enjoy!

    Gulf Coast Painting with Resin


    2013 - 02.08

    This is one of my favorite paintings that I did, mostly because it was a painting that I did in my free time.

    I used Oil Paints in a stick form, on wood board, to create the waves crashing here on the Florida Gulf Coast. This Gulf Coast Painting was then coated in epoxy resin…one of my FAVORITE things to do! I loveeeee resin!

    Here is the final product:

    Yankee Stadium Painting


    2013 - 02.08

    This painting was definitely a challenge, and I felt very accomplished once it was complete!

    My friend, Jenna, a die-hard Yankee fan, emailed me this photo of Yankee Stadium to paint for her. Here is what I came up with:

    3D World Map Painting


    2013 - 02.08

    This was an exciting painting for me to try, because it was something I had not done in the past. My good friend, Ashley, found a digital image on google of a world map that looked like it was made out of water. She wanted me to try to recreate it for you with a 3D effect.

    To create this effect, I used a modeling paste called Structura, which I then tinted to the color of water.

    Here is the 3D World Map Painting on Canvas:
